They looked great, but it would be nice to have actual 15th century Benin before we go and put a fantasy race into the mixture.<br /><br />Doesn't even have to be African nations, would love some plastic Aztecs, or Khmer.<br /><br />Luckily I have managed to escape the sea of white faces in my minis. My historical army is Mongolians, and my fantasy stuff is Gnolls and Undead... also all my Space Marines wear helmets, because not wearing a helmet is silly.Stonehorsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09838598677347016330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25320499.post-86602178026630605082020-08-27T16:09:53.034+01:002020-08-27T16:09:53.034+01:00No need to worry.

I do ACW, AWI, F&IW because they are in my back yard. I collect the Sudan and Rep Rome because that is what I find interesting.

West Africa is definitely one area that has caught my interest as well from time to time, based on what depictions I have seen. Alas, 20mm plastic figures seem even less likely than someone coming out with a range in 28mm! On the other hand, if I ever did get around to such a project, I'd want to be sure to treat it in a balanced way and try to avoid stereotyping the cultures involved.Norman Deanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07618060402986281074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25320499.post-78485901955204895162020-08-27T12:08:30.536+01:002020-08-27T12:08:30.536+01:00I have a feeling most gamers are in the same situa...I have a feeling most gamers are in the same situation. It's a decidedly "western" hobby and the manufacturers of course cater to their audience. It's not that battles in other parts of the world are of less interest or significance, it's that most gamers are attracted to the familiar - AWI, Naps, WW2, Ancient Rome, Medieval Europe.
