Title: Don's Sudan
Post by: DonVoss on March 29, 2020, 10:55:32 AM

I am trying to make the best out of the time I have to spend indoors now. So I thought of painting a few things off my lead and plastic mountain.

I gathered some Plastic Ansars so I thought it would be a good opportunity to get a few of them painted.

Starting with some Fuzzy-Wuzyzs...

Very Nice - the Perry figures are tempting but for colonials I prefer small scale figures.

I like how the figures look 'dirty' as if they were actually out on campaign.  There are some truly fine painters here on LAF that do superb paint jobs but they are often just way too clean to be out on a campaign.  I get it, display cabinet quality and that is just fine - but yours really look the business.  Fine job.

I really like the different size irregular bases- that's visually very pleasing.

There's something that's just so seductive about the Perry Sudan range  8)

Inspired by smokeyrones Last Stand in the Sudan:

http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=124151.0

I wanted to build my own little desert fort.
I really liked the low walls on smokeys build. So many advanteges over high, proper walls.

So I put down my old desert village again and added a few wall sections. Kind off Rourkes Drift im Sudan...defended obsticales plus 2-3 houses.

Enough for a decent game....

Smiling!  When this group says I did good, I did good!

Great work.

Be sure to check out Chris Ferere's " Its Jolly Deadly, ol Boy" FREE Rorkes Drift rules! 

Adaptable to any rules set, so many neat, simple additions (surgeon repairing wounded, bad guys climbing walls, etc)  Even rules for melee vs Pip the terrier!

Low wall sections rock!  If they too high, attackers gonna die!

Thanx gents... ;D

Okay. This week I tried to improve in numbers for my sudan stuff.

First I raised a batch of Bashi Bazouk angemalt.

And the regular egyptians get a few more minis too.

Had to paint them.... :)

And a coole Krupp gun...

Have to concentrate on scenery in the next nights.

After the Corona lockdown in Berlin is a little bit lifted I sceduled a sudan game last weekend.

Little improvised, but at least I had the chance to get nearly all my sudan minis on the table.
Sorry was to excited to take more pics....my first game after nearly 2 month... :o o_o ;D

Scenario saw a small detachment of egyptian troops trying  to reach a little desert fortress.
Hunted by various groups of madhists.

We played a german ruleset named Kugelhagel with some minor house rules.

Was a close game with some cinematic actions... :)

Great photos of your game.
I have started painting colonials again.
(It's been many a year.)
Started with some Sudan figures.
Now have to figure how to post them.
(My weak point.)

A lovely display of 'washed figures' - really works well...

Fab work Don  :-*

The game looks like great fun- I never tire of seeing pics of the Sudan 1880's. The games always look thrilling and never fail to have a compelling aesthetic  8)

You sir are a genius.!!
I have been looking for a way to base my own Mahdists , and you have nailed it , well done.

Well done all round

Hi Don
Mate as previous love your painting.
So here is a freebie .
Castaway Arts based here in Australia do some very very nice sculpts for the Fuzzies , if you need  extra  poses etc .
They fit  very well in with Perrys , and dare I say some  figures are easily as good, if not better , have a look  .
Cheers
