Title: Second Afghan War Pathans
Post by: Atheling on 09 July 2014, 04:06:37 PM

Here's a pic of the Afghan Pathans that I've been working on of late for a demo game that will be on at Partizan 2015 (May/June).

I've got quite a long way to go before I get to the stage where I've got enough mini's painted up for the demo but publishing one's work is always a great way of pushing one's self. Oh, I've got to make the terrain too which I'll be posting pics up of along the way as well as pics of the Pathans as they progress followed by the British and Indian armies!

I've had a lot of fun painting them up and I hope that you enjoy the pics too- many more quality pics can be seen on my Just Add Water Blog here:

In the meantime here's a taster of what you can see on my Blog:

They're the classic Wargames Foundry range sculpted by the Perry's way. They still stand up as marvellous sculpts now.

Thanks Plynkes  :). I've got a load of the Artizan and Studio Miniatures Pathans to paint up too! Those and a whole mini mountain of Foundry!

Then I've got the Afghan Regulars, the British Army and the Indian army! It's beginning to sound like quite a project!!!  :)

Darrell.

They are excellent, I think the only thing we could ask for is more of them.

Lovely work, we look forward to seeing our minis painted up by you. We might even need to get you to do a few for us as well  :)

Thanks guys- very kind of you all.

There will be more- Foundry, Artizan and Studio Miniatures  :). I'll post the pics as soon as the mini's have had a lick of paint.
