Continuing my Darkest Africa project to recreate the Karonga War I have converted up some Nkonde warriors to be allies of the British. Some background on the Nkonde and more pictures on my blog, for those interested, here link

Great painting and research work on a fascinating ally for the Brits!

Thanks Durban glad you like them.

One of them seems to be wielding a sword like weapon, instead of a spear or war club. What is that? Grelber

Grelber@ no swords they are all armed with spears and clubs. There are a couple of different club styles in the mix though one is very straight and the other is curved. I found written, but no pictorial evidence, of Nkonde war clubs so having nothing better to go on, I just left the original Dinka ones, from the base miniatures, on my conversions here are the original miniatures

OK, I saw the guys with the baseball bat like straight clubs. Grelber

to be fair Grebler the Dinka war clubs do look quite blade like from certain angles

Going clubbing certainly had a different meaning, back in the day!
