Arab Rocketeers

Post by Counterpane »

The Wali of Smut is the Mughal Emperor's representative in the Woebetide Islands. His place is protected by a team of artillerymen armed with light rockets!

The figures are all conversions of identical castings. It's a fantasy ninja-type; no idea of the manufacturer. I acquired them in a box of various figures that was handed from person to person a few years ago. I snipped off the heads and replaced them with plastic heads from the Atlantic Wargames Afghans box. The rockets are wire spears with heads made from pieces of cocktail stick and fuses from black thread. One of the figures has a shield and sheathed sword from the Atlantic box.

In lieu of a fifth member of the unit (I felt I'd done all I could in terms of creating variety from a single figure) I made a brazier out of plastic rod and a shield from the Afghans box. The charcoal is made from superglue set with Sodium Bicarbonate.
