Title: Sikh Gurkhas and Sikh irregulars in 15mm.
Post by: OB on March 21, 2020, 08:04:30 PM

I've finally finished my Sikh Army for the Anglo Sikh Wars-or at least that's what I'm telling myself.  I began collecting it in the '90s.  Anyhow, I felt a certain job done sensation as I completed two more units of irregular infantry, a unit of Gorchurra, one of Camel Guns, a battery of irregular guns and a battalion of Sikh Gurkhas.  Here are the Gurkhas and the artillery.

Another fine post and in 15mm.  Thank you for continuing to share!  It inspires my own collecting and painting.

Regards, Jeff

Thanks very much Jeff.

As I'm more or less confined to quarters at the moment I thought I'd try a solo game of the Battle of Mudki with Field of Battle.

Very nice, OB!  Hope you give us a Battle Report on your Mudki refight, the more pics the merrier we shall be!

Thanks Mad Guru.  I certainly will and hopefully in the coming week.

Another vote for the Mudki report.  Nice looking collections all around.  I get the idea of taking a long time to finish a project my own French and Indian War project got started back in the mid-90s and still isn't quite done - but much closer (just need to refocus on that collection but right now AWI and Old West are predominating and ACW has reared its head, too, to compete with my Slightly Cracked Colonials).  Yeah, I get the distraction ;)

Yeah the distraction strikes at will.  Third century Romans for me at the moment.

Wait!  You can't be done OB.  I don't see any Sappers & Miners in your troops on the blog!

 ;) :D ;D

Not only that but I've discovered a bag of British lancers and two of Sikh regular infantry.  A wargamers work is never done.
