Hi As I got me a copy of Dan Merseys latest rules "The Men Who Would Be Kings" I thought I needed to paint me some new minis for the Darkest Africa…. So I decided to go for some Zanzibar Slavers using the Gripping Bests lovely plastic medieval Arab Spearmen and Archers box as a base for them. In a box I get 40 minis so it would be enough to build me 3 units of 12 minis with 4 extras. The units I will build from the box are: 12 +4 Arab Askaris
12 Baluchis
12 Ruga-Ruga You can see more pictures of my build at my blog. Have a greate evening !

I did the same thing (although all my conversions were Zanzibar Arabs/Swahili). :) |

Hi I just posted some pictures of the first painted minis from my use of the Gripping Bests plastic medieval Arab Spearmen and Archers box as a base for my Zanzibar Slaver force. The first I decided to paint was the 16 Arab Askaris and you can find a couple of more pictures at my blog.
