Hi, I have some sprues of warlord games NNC and as I'm not interested in zulu war I want to use them as something else (historical or not). Any suggestions? |

Ditch the assegais, disguise the shields, add plastic rifles and laserguns, paint them as blueskins and start playing Sci-Fi. |

What fantasy do you play? They would make a great (if perpetually chilly) warband for Frostgrave. |

Hmm… largely naked male figures in action poses. Superheroes? They'd work well unconverted as some types of Askari (especially with the rifle arms), or for generic "tribals" in a pulp game. You could definitely use them in a game of Congo. The Perry Anasar Warrior sprue has fez heads that could be handy here, though many Askari wore other (or no) headgear, and adding a fez or tarbush with putty is a pretty easy conversion. Headswaps and appropriate weapons and/or shields could convert them into Picts or Celts (maybe use a bit of putty to add a kilt, or carve back the loincloth a little and putty on some breeches). |

The big problem is all the cowhide decoration these figures wear, I would just sell them on to a Zulu war fan…. |

Sculpt some headdresses on them and use them as Ngoni. |

A new edition of "Death in the Dark Continent" is coming out soon. |

You know, "figures I don't have a use for" is pretty much why we have flea markets. |

I used some for The Hereros in the German South Africa wars. I added rifles. Some are used as bearers and ascaris for Safari games. |

paint green and call them orcs…no reason to change the shield or weapons… |

I painted them green once. Not intentionally, just a couple of layers of paint that went together in a way I didn't quite expect! Not a nice orcish green though. More like the sort of green you get on stganant water. They got better. |

I wanted them as humans, not blue, not green, in this case I want them in brown. Maybe I will use them as Kukuana Native Contingent. |
gets his hands on some fields and fences.
