Thanks for the kind words Gentlemen.
Robert, the tribesmen are Essex Miniatures Zulus. I used some wicker shields from either Museum Miniatures or Tin Soldier Miniatures. I bought them so many years ago I can't recall... I do remember I bought them to use with my Scots Irish.
The Witchdoctor is from Splintered Light Miniatures.
I have gone back and edited the post identifying the manufacturer of the miniatures photographed.

As part of my African themed adventure I have decided to build a couple of Hordes of the Things armies loosely based on the Adventures of Tarzan. There are still a few more types of critters I would like to represent, but these are the ones I have finished so far.
A few of the miniatures are on sabot bases allowing me to use them for skirmish games such as In Her Majesty's Name, etc.
First off is Tarzan on foot and mounted on Tantor. Tarzan is an Essex Miniatures Zulu with head swap and Tantor is by Xyston Miniatures. Tarzan, Kerchak and friends . Tarzan (as above), Kerchak is by Highlander Studios with his friends coming from Alternative Armies.
Great White Hunter and assistant, Waziri Tribesmen and Witchdoctor. Witchdoctor is by Splintered Light Miniatures. The rest of the miniatures are from Essex Miniatures Zulu and Boer range.
Some of the wildlife. Leopard by Eureka Miniatures (10mm Lioness), Ostriches and Rhinos by Irregular Miniatures, Hippo by MY Miniatures, Giraffes by Prieser, Elephants by Xyston, Crocodiles by Peter Pig and Lions from Airfix.

Thanks Martin,
I was thinking of using one of the Heroes as the General's element.
I based the vegetation loosely on the console/computer game Farcry Primal.
Kind Regards, Barry

I recently finished a 15mm caveman army for HotT and thought I' share some photos. All of the miniatures, except one, are from Khurasan Miniatures range. The complete army. Warband. Lurkers and Beast Heroes - The fine fellow with the Smilodon companion is loosely based on the cover art of the computer game, Farycry Primal. Shaman or Magician. Another view of the Shaman/Magician. 'CAPTAIN CAVEMAAAN!!!'I plan to add a few elements periodically along with the opposing force of associated critters, including some 'Apemen' based on those in the early 1980's movie 'Quest for Fire'. I am undecided about the stronghold. I will either use the cave featured in the beginning of the aforementioned movie, the island in the swamp where the refugees gather after the attack on the cave or make a selection of hide huts.

Martin In the Essex Zulu Wars range OS 59, 60, 61 and 62 all look as if they come with a standing horse. I'm assuming it's a two piece casting and I'm sure the lads at Essex would confirm whether or not there is more than one horse pose per pack if you give them a ring. Denis I used these for my element of dismounted KDG.
For my dismounted colonials, I used the horses from the Essex ACW Range (BG69/BG70).
Cheers, Barry
