Gents, The Eritrean Askaris the Italians mobilised and fought with in East Africa during the Italo-Ethiopian War and WW2 were amongst some of their best fighters. In this update I am showcasing some of the latest of the paint table to spotlight these charismatic troops so as to get them to the tabletop. More to follow soon. The figures are lovely Paul Hicks sculpts sold by Empress – some of his best work IMHO. Find the update along with more pics at the The Abyssinian Crisis blog. Cheers Happy Wanderer link

Great work – the terrain, the weathered vehicle and the figs are amazing

Beautiful! Using high magnification and many hours I converted 180 from Ghurkas in 6mm. They look great even in this scale- especially with flags waving!

Is the truck a repurposed diecast? Lovely figures. Empress stuff keeps getting better.
