Stonking. :-* :-* :-* :-*
The two officers really are the business

I love Bakht Khan. Even if I never get to collect enough figures for a Mutiny game, figures like this will be vefy useful in VSF etc. I see him as a perfect Indian servant or bodyguard for an eccentric explorer etc :D

Just what I had in mind..... ;) :)

Brilliant Brian. Now that's what I've been waiting for :)
(Yes, I know the rank and file are necessary - but it's the character figures that really make a range, and Mike has not disappointed with Bahkt Khan or the Ghazis... )
-
Cor! Great figures. :-*
Gaming the Man Who Would be King has just worked its way up the project list.

Or a renegade to add to my NWF forces.

I think they have a "Brit in disguise" look to them as well.

Reminder to self. I'm doing Africa not India , I'm doing Africa not India , I'm doing Africa not India ....

Flashman! lol 8)

Really like these figures especially Bahkt Khan and that NCO with skull cap and sword; simply brilliant. Brian and Mike keep up the good work!
I would prefer to have a STANDARD "Command Pack" with the Sowar and Mr. Khan available separately or in a personalities/character pack. Don't really need more than one of each, but I do need officers, sergeants, drummers, and Ensigns! (two different Ensigns would be nice). A native officer with shell jacket, trousers, beads, Sikh Wars medal, (cap or Turban) would work for loyal Sepoy or Mutineers.
Also it would be most common for muslims to wear trousers or "pajamas" - dhoti's were pretty much a Hindu thing. Muslims men were actually forbidden to wear them!

Very very nice!

command pack two will be more regular guys like in the osprey books, a good few weeks yet for them
-
Great. Will be ordering these in a few weeks.

Inspirational stuff!
Got me re-reading Christopher Hibbert's The Great Mutiny

Mutineer,
I'm not sure how accurate the Foundry figures are but any plans to do Brits in service dress with pillbox hats (without the sun shade)? I need some decent sculpts to proxy as Canadian Militia during the Fenian Invasion:

Very good general history of the Mutiny! It was the first book I read on the subject :)
-
I would like to get some more pointers on good reads on the mutiny,
I just read the short but inspiring A Cavalry Officer in the Sepoy Revolt by A.R.D. MacKenzie.
I feel an urgent need for a book concentrating more on the units and battles fought, as it is more than likely that I will spend my last anna, not on arrak but on Mutineer figures...... :o :D
-
The most authoritative work on the subject must be Brigadier-General Sir Harry Flashman's eye witness chronicles as published by George MacDonald Fraser. Or so I've been convinced. ;)
Good to see you again, Erik! It's been ages. Right in time for LPL 4 to. :)

Hi Hammers, old bean! :)
Having spent most of last year in the Outer Tunguska reagion searching for the elusive golden yak, I am now lately returned to the civilization - less three camels and two native porters. :D
Unfortunately I don't think I'll make this league... unless....
