Askari Miniatures goes pulp!
We've just put our first sets of 28mm Egyptians into production! Shown above is EG-1 Digging Crew. We are also releasing a set of merchants (EG-2) and a man with a donkey (EG-3) for hauling away all that dirt. Future releases will include farmers and fishermen. Individual packs and prices can be found in the North African portion of the catalog.
Whether your Foreign Legionnaires have marched across the desert in search of treasure, your archeologists are digging for tombs of the pharaohs, or whatever else your scenario might be, these workers are indispensable. Although they're called Egyptians, their dress is generic enough that they could be used to represent any desert people.
For an archeologist to supervise all this, we have the personalities in FRP-1 or Illinois Dan (P-6); for guarding the dig site, there's a set of four guards (EG-5).
Be careful of desert raiders - our Tuareg might show up at any time!
