Death in the Dark Continent Project

I've been thinking about picking up my Death in the Dark Continent project, which is another project recycling job using the figures I originally prepared and based for In the Heart of Africa many years ago. The initial steps of this project were taken last year, when I reorganised my box of figures and did some test basing for a Nyamwezi army, based on the generic villages list from the rule book. As my original force was also based on a generic villagers army list, this makes a lot of sense and would make use of the figures I'd based on 2p coins, rebased onto 60mm x 30mm bases instead. I've had another look at the list I devised for Death in the Dark Continent and have made a couple of tweaks to bring it up to around 250 points, which is near enough for half the scenario set ups in the rules:

Nyamwezi (Generic Villagers)

3 units of spearman skirmishers (6 bases per unit) @ 4 points / 24 x 3 = 72

2 units of archer skirmishers (6 bases per unit) @ 4 points / 24 x 2 = 48

2 units of musketeers (6 bases per unit) @ 5 points / 30 x 2 = 60

Option A 

2 unit of warriors (6 bases per unit) @ 6 points / 36 x 2 = 72

Total = 252

or

Option B

1 unit of allied Swahili 'Wangwana' musket armed skirmishers (4 bases per unit) @ 5 points  / 20 x 1 = 20

1 unit of Arab Nobles, elite untrained soldiers (4 bases per unit) @ 44 x 1 = 44

Total = 244 points

I'm considering making this my next project instead of Ravenfeast, which requires fewer figures but more fiddly painting, but I'm still thinking it through. One big advantage is that I have some fantastic modular terrain that I was gifted by an old wargaming friend, so that side of things is pretty much covered, freeing me up to focus on the figures. I also have shedloads of figures in the lead pile for a range of opposing armies, so no expense is required. It also ties in really well with my focus on using stuff I've already got rather than buying yet more lead and plastic.
