It's week two of my The Men Who Would Be Kings / Death in the Dark Continent project, with two units of sixteen Beja assembled, based, textured and undercoated, plus a third now on the workbench being glued together. I decided today to make use of the drummer parts on the command sprues to make four drummers, one for each of the tribal warrior units. These are just for visual effect and also so that I can identify each unit on the table top. I was even thinking of using them to represent the leader figure for each unit, rather than having a specific leader model, so that they are easy to spot in the throng of spear and sword waving loonies. It would be a simple way to make casualty removal straightforward but I do like the idea of making some characters out of the leftovers on the sprue, so I'll keep it as a possibility rather than making it a sure fire thing.
