Kushite tribe

 

Here we have my latest batchpaint. A rather large collection of Kushite/ Nubians.
They are intended to be mainly used in my Tribal Africa project but could be used pitted agains other historical opponents.

The miniatures are mostly from Footsoore miniatures that I bought before the Brits totaly buggered of to their own corner but the civilians are from Coblestone casting.

For painting I used the pictures at the end of this post for inspiration. I tried using some blue tints in the shadows and I think it made some really nice colours.

They dont look like my previus Kushite miniatures so I think I have to go back and raise the standard of my older miniatures.


























For colour inspirations I used the following picture:
