Hi,just wondering how to go about representing the above infantry in 28mm for first Afghan war.The Foundry book isn't really helpful,should I go with regular heic sepoys or irregular figs,any input would be helpful,thanks in advance.

Perhaps some of the figures in the "Sikhs War" or "Darkest Africa" ranges from Foundry...

Juan,thanks for reply,I think the figs from the Perry's Sikh war range would be fine but my problem is whether to use regular sepoys in uniform or the irregular types,at the moment I'm thinking of using sikh regulars but painting their turbans and trousers A mix of differing colours whilst painting the  jacket red and using colored facings and cuffs to distinguish the regiments,thus giving me a little of both worlds.
