Some great pics there, Paul  :)

Good-looking figures, buidings and terrain

It's good to see Indian troops in action - it's almost always British in most pics.

Thanks for posting,

Ian

Smashing. Very nice. Nudie Beja, too. Not seen any of those before. I've seen paintings of the battles in the Suakin theatre where many of the Beja are represented as naked, but hadn't seen any figures done that way before. What make are they?

They are a mix of companies but the naked Beja are from the Essex Miniatures stable.

The Brits in the range are not great but the Dervish are full of character.

The natives are mainly Essex Miniatures with a few Foundry.

Rules are 'The Sword and the Flame'.
