Massing the Masai

A quick post of my latest batch of 10 Masai. That's 30 in total completed and another 50-60 including villagers to go. I will also be adding a small batch of rifle armed skirmishers (rifles from Empress Miniatures), probably not historically accurate but they may well need the to stave off the explorers and slavers.

I also started work on long grasses and a coral for the Masai cattle.

More to follow with my target to finaish the Masai that I have in 2014,
