Title: British Field Force
Post by: Dining Room Battles on September 16, 2020, 11:35:53 PM

Huzzah!  I have completed my first Field Force for The Men Who Would be Kings.  I have based my force on the British Army for the 2nd Afghan War, or really, just about any action along the Northwest Frontier from 1878 to 1900.

I never even knew that Artizan did an Afghan War range!  :o That one slipped by me

That's the range that has Daniel, Peachy and Billy Fish in it, Vodkafan! I think it's actually illegal to be a NWF gamer if you don't have those figures.  :)

Thanks for that. One can never have enough "how to paint tartan" tutorials as there are so many different takes on the subject. not to mention that it's a brave moment in a painters life  8)
