New Indian Mutiny unit just painted.
« on: November 08, 2009, 03:09:02 PM »
My wargaming buddy, Jon Sutherland, has been building a massive Indian Mutiny collection over the last year or so. I presented him with a new British cavalry unit the other day, an ad hoc unit made of displaced EIC officers. Historically there were a few of these "units" attached to Crown forces, all out for revenge and blood.

Lovely stuff  8)

The old Foundry Indian Mutiny range are still great. I always fancied doing one of these ad-hoc units of displaced officers and civilians, often referred to as "Moss Troopers" with a nice historic link. If I remember correctly at one early stage in the war Havelock's cavalry for his column consisted of 15 such chaps.
