91st Highlanders

Finally got round to finishing the other 8 figures for the 91st Highlanders company having painted up the command figures some time ago.  The figures are Black Tree, painted in acrylics and gloss varnished.

Darkest Africa game

Got the jungle scenery out of its boxes for a game on Monday - a whimsical card-driven exploration and skirmish game: 5 teams of explorers are seeking immortality at the lost Temple of Obi-Thumpi.  They search for artefacts, activate keystones through ancient rituals, and fight off the hostile natives.  Although it was touch and go the Italians were just pipped to first place by the British.

The French explorers in the foreground set off into the jungle towards the lost Temple of Obi-Thumpi in the distance...

Fearsome natives emerge from the Temple...

The Italians, Germans and French explore the Altar (and experience the poison gas trap)...

The final turn - British and Germans (and an Italian) complete the rituals at the top of the Temple.
