Request for Photo - WW1 German Askari

[Rob Smith]

Hi All,

New to the forum, but I've been gaming with Pendraken minis for years.

My next project is Omdurman. Unfortunately, the later Egyptians and Sudanese are not offered. From looking at pictures of German Askaris, I think they may do, but I am not sure what the Pendraken versions look like. I suppose I could just order a pack, but I'd prefer to place one big order, instead of chopping it up into several orders.

If anyone can help, it will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Rob
Austin, Texas

Welcome Rob, and I hope you enjoy your time on the forum. Afraid I can't help as I game WWI Europe and Middle East only at the moment.

Hello Rob

Welcome to the forum. Pics of WW1 Askari's here http://www.warfactory.co.uk/wp/2015/10/18/10mm-east-africa-british-and-german-askaris/. Headgear probably too tall for what you add looking for at Omdurman. Maybe ACW, FPW or Turkish zouave types might be better. I'm assuming that this is the proxy you're looking for :-

Yes, that is a very satisfying response to most of life's little problems.

So far not a single soul on the forum appears to have ever bought a German askari. Leon must have a sh*t load in stock.
