Porters

[FierceKitty]

I suspect there'd be a lot of use across centuries of combat for a few basic porter figures - colonials back to chariot-era ancients, covering pretty well every period one can fight more than a skirmish in on the table top. Anyone want to cast a vote with me on this?

There are the NEA4 native porters in the WW1 East African range, I dont know if they are any good I never thought about it but I could paint them in non african colourings ...hmmmmmmmmm

And don't forget VM16 here: http://www.pendraken.co.uk/VM16-p4723/ for those Far Eastern types...

Interesting. How about a picture of the East Africans?

There are a few characters (approx. 5) carrying bags over their shoulders in Colonial | Sudan/Egypt 1882-85 | SC13. Arab civilians that would do the job. A good collection of figures especially a turbanned and long robed chap who would be suitable for a chief/mullah/pirate/wazir or genie (seeing it's near panto season).

(seeing it's near panto season). 

Oh, no, it's not!

[Sorry, if I didn't say it, someone else would have.  ]

[FierceKitty]

Oh, no, we wouldn't!

there is also a figure carrying a tent or something similar, it has tent poles sticking out at either end. to make them different I left some full pole, some without poles at all and others with poles sticking out at one end or the other.
