Has anyone got any pictures of the East Africa range. I'm mostly after seeing the African tribesmen with weapons not the colonial troops.
Looking to see if I can use them as lightly armed militia for 60-70s Africa.

I game the Peter Pig AK47 Africa in 10mm. I find light armed Korean range north and south Korean figures ideal. The Commmando figures are neat for Mercs.KBR21 with the BAR will pass for an FN rifle. I also add in a few Minifigs African civilians - they work well as crew for RR, mortars and MMGs. Minifigs also (currently) does the only Technical in 10mm.

Vietnam range Aussies work well for "white professionals"in bushhat

And I can tell you that the forthcoming Syrian element of Arab-Israeli range was designed with loads of third world proxy in mind. Basic kit, AK47 and soviet helmet/cap. Old Techno at his best!

Actually another company now churning out Toyota "technicals" and much needed Unimogs. Ian Kay has a small range of 10mm Bushwar- including bikers!They fit well on the same base as Pendraken Korean
