Capitain Craupaud – Darkest Africa
I have been sculpting the bases and painting some more Foundry miniatures from their Darkest Africa range that I am going to use with my Tally Ho! rules as well as Old West games.
Standing somewhat aloof, Capitain Craupaud holds his pistol ready for anything,
Still a fair of work to do.
Venturing into Darkest Africa
These are some of my Foundry Darkest Africa figures currently on the workbench.
These are nice models with a lot of character. I will be using them for Tally Ho! games and also Doctor Who scenarios.
Malto Cortese – Tally Ho!
Having given him a white undercoat, I started painting the model.
Malto Cortese is a really nice sculptured model and quite different to the other miniatures in the A League of Exceptional Gentleman – DA012 range.
I think this will be a really useful model for Victorian Science Fiction scenarios, he looks like a Steam Tank or Ether Flyer Captain rather than a Darkest Africa explorer. His expression of determination really comes out in the model and he looks like an individual who you wouldn’t want to cross.

Simon has this model and here is his painted version.
This is the painted version from the Foundry website.
After basing the model on a two pence piece, I gave the model a white undercoat.
I don’t know if I will give him a blue uniform, I might go for more of a desert khaki look instead.
Capitain Craupaud
“I think he might be French”
This is another of my Darkest Africa miniatures from the A League of Exceptional Gentleman – DA012 range.
He is certainly an elegant chap, holding his pistol as though wary of what might happen just around the corner.
I am intending to use these models in Old West scenarios as well as Tally Ho! adventures set in Africa and Asia. I also think they are ideal Victorian Science Fiction miniatures.
Graf von Schnyder – Tally Ho! Workbench
This model is from the Wargames Foundry Darkest Africa range. Graf von Schnyderis walking whilst carrying his rifle. This is a picture of the painted model from the Foundry website.
In the first instance I based the model on a two pence piece. I then gave the model a white undercoat.
This is a nice model, not sure if I will follow the paint scheme from the Foundry website.
The Younger Stanley – Tally Ho! Workbench
This model is from the Wargames Foundry Darkest Africa range. The Younger Stanley is carrying his rifle. This is a picture of the painted model from the Foundry website.
Having based the model on a two pence piece, I gave Stanley a white undercoat.
I also, as I said with Teddy Roosevelt, intend to use the model for VSF and Old West scenarios too.
Teddy Roosevelt – Tally Ho! Workbench
This model is from the Wargames Foundry Darkest Africa range. Teddy Roosevelt is carrying his helmet and carrying a rifle. This is a picture of the painted model from the Foundry website.
Having based the model on a two pence piece, I gave Teddy a white undercoat.
I also intend to use the model for VSF and Old West scenarios too.
Darkest Africa Adventurers
Here are a few of Simon’s Darkest Africa Adventurers.
The flash from the camera (as I was taking these pictures just before the game) has been rather harsh on them, they look a lot better in the flesh. Maybe I should read my own photography techniques!
