Fantastic!!!
-
Grrr, more thinks I want and need like a hole in the head.. lol
Will Nathan be stocking these?
-
I would expect so ;)
-
Beautiful sculpts from Paul as always :-* :-* :-*
I eagerly awaiting the release of (Pathan?) tribesmen ;) :)

For those chaps you really want Baluchis, hundreds of them. Fascinating little campaign the conquest of Scinde and the campaign that gave us the most exquisite pun in the history of warfare, Napier’s “Peccavi” sent to his superiors after the Battle of Hyderabad.*
I have had the requisite Bombay Native infantry for years but nothing to match the Armitage painting’s depiction of the Cheshires has existed to date. Been well worth the wait it seems.
*Allegedly. There is a suggestion it was invented by a contributor to Punch.

The Baluchis on their way : the dollies were previewed a few weeks ago on the Iron Duke FB page.

I saw the doillies. They're in a charging/running posture, yeah?
Has any more putty been added? I think this is something I need to investigate :D
-
Mostly charging/attacking types, yes, though one of the chaps is kneeling :

No idea how much progress Hicks Sahib has made on those since : they're probably a fair few weeks/months away as several manufacturers who are using them are saying Griffin Moulds are very busy these days.

Thanks Arthur. They're the excellent and already irresistible dollies I saw on the Iron duke FB page. 8)

I just noticed your footnote, so this post is probably redundant, but for obvious reasons I don't want to stay stuck on 666 so please forgive me.
FWIW, I once read that the pun came from a Punch cartoon (this being, of course, back in the days, when people would have understood it). It certainly can't have been a telegram as sometimes claimed - though not by you - as there was no telegraph system available.
-
Loving these new I.D ranges !!!
-
I presume there will be a command pack coming?
-
oh those new ones are rather spiffing. I don't do India but my first thought was they would work well as Zanzibari Baluchi.
-
For both Brits and Sikhs yes very much so.
Also worth checking the Empress Mutiny range for some connecting packs ;)
-
Hope you dont mind me posting these here Paul, but I painted some of the GAPS range for ID Miniatures.
These are HM 22nd Regiment for the conquest of Scinde, more photos here https://www.irondukeminiatures.co.uk/miniatures-gallery

We know that many of you have been waiting for this release. Still a bit of time to wait but its getting closer. To help with the stocking and production and make sure that when it is released we have what you need we are pre releasing the three related Last Stand at Gandamack inspired by W.B.Wollen's iconic painting featuring the 44th (East Essex) regiment.
There are three packs that make up this set.
GAPS13 24 FIGURES.
GAPS14 5 FIGURES.
GAPS15 4 FIGURES.
We hope to be sending these to you in about two weeks.
https://www.empressminiatures.com/iron-duke-miniatures...
-
Now then, the Gandamack set need buying simply to paint up and to go in the cabinet!! :-* :-* :-*
Please keep us up to speed with their release date :)
-
Paul, any chance of a size comparison with the ones you did for Studio miniatures?
-
Paul, any chance of a size comparison with the ones you did for Studio miniatures?
Paul only sculpted three figures for that range and they are all based upon the same dolly so yes they are the same size as those. ;)
-
Is this a limited run item or will it be readily available alongside other items in the range?
-
I know very little about the Sikh Wars, a little bit about the Gandamack stand (but not much with the first Afghan war).
For those in the know, would the Sikh Matchlock men be good Pathan stand ins for the 2nd Afghan war? The miniatures are wonderful.
Thank you.
-
bc99,
Not really. The Kabuli Matchlocks also shown above would be much better. It's all about the headgear and facial hair. For good reason, all the Sikhs have Sikh turbans and Sikh beards, while the Kabulis have a mix of various Afghan headgear and facial hair. On the other hand, most Afghans -- as seen in the Kabuli figures -- did wear turbans and beards, just a bit different in style/volume from those of their Sikh neighbors. It's a question of how specifically accurate you want your miniatures to be. From the photo above it doesn't look like any of the Sikh matchlock men are carrying bespoke Sikh weapons, such as a "Chakkar" ring on their turban, so if you don't mind slightly inaccurate turbans and beards, they could work.
Funny that the turbans and beards were what first caught my eye, but the bigger issue RE: using any of the "shooter" figures for the Second Afghan War is that they're all armed with matchlocks, as opposed to flintlock jezails. By 1878 I believe the great majority of tribal jezails had flintlock mechanisms, many taken from captured or broken Brown Bess muskets. If you're hesitant to field matchlock men for 1878-80, it might not be that difficult to convert the firing mechanisms by sourcing or scratch-building little flintlocks. I enjoy that sort of thing, but I know it's not how everyone likes to spend their hobby time. One thing for sure is they are beautiful figures!
-

Available for ever.........well a long time ;)
-
Thank you guru. I do like that second set, and the swordsmen. I’ll pick those up.
I try to get the armies right while not worrying about fudging a little. Your advice was appreciated.
-
This is a beautiful set. I know I will buy it, eventually.
-

Excellent! Thanks 😀
-
Seems we all agree they are indeed beautiful figures! I assume similar to your situation, Traveller, I have a bunch of the Studio Miniatures British Infantry in Winter dress -- in my case enough for any/all First Afghan War games I will play! But... I'm afraid I will have to get all of these anyway.
@bc99: You're very welcome, happy to help. Just saw you're located in California. May I ask what part? I'm in L.A.
-
San Luis Obispo. And I’ve sent a PM.
I especially like the fellow with the fez type hat he stands out.

I have the Studio Miniatures figures too. In my case they were purchased for the Lower Canadian Rebellion/Patriote War not Afghanistan. Sad to say these are incomparably better sculpts. If they do a wider range of British infantry for the period, I’m fucked. These just win hands down.
-
The packs of Iron Duke for Gandamack are now shipping and the items are now readily for sale.
Sorry for the delay on this but we had our main moulder chappy suffering from a back injury and so it delayed things.
Those who were waiting to order because they were concerned we would run away to Brazil can now feel safe in order. ;)

Beauties as always :-* :-* :-*

Fantastic stuff, the Bengal Horse Artllery and ad hoc cavalry are exquisite.
My question is will the gaps in GAPS be filled? We have flank company in uncovered shakos and centre coy packets in covered shakos. Will there be matching centre coy and flankers for each and will there be command in the near future?

Outstanding.

Agreed. Looking forward to the command packs.

Those Afghans are getting bought. Pronto!
I do hope the Afghan range is expanded upon to include more poses. I can see a couple of units for winter being painted up for my Second Anglo Afghan War project, about double the size of the Perry unit below (in summer Dress):

The plan is to use Kevin Calder's Up the Nile rules with amendments (combined with his Bonnie Blue Flag ACW rules so I can include Afghan Regulars).

Ordered myself some Afghan reinforcements. :)

DUST OF GLORY: The First Anglo-Afghan War 1839-1842, its Causes and Course, Bill Whitburn:
(https://www.helion.co.uk/images/books/i2/helion1001101.jpg)
https://www.helion.co.uk/military-history-books/dust-of-glory-the-first-anglo-afghan-war-1839-1842-its-causes-and-course.php (https://www.helion.co.uk/military-history-books/dust-of-glory-the-first-anglo-afghan-war-1839-1842-its-causes-and-course.php)
"The Russian-sponsored attack by the Shah of Persia on Herat was the latest move in the longrunning tournament for predominant influence in Central Asia called the Great Game. Its proximity to India could not be tolerated as it threatened British designs for the expansion of trade along the Indus valley. Urged on by hawkish secretaries, hoodwinked by the wily Maharaja of Punjab and prompted by his political masters in London, the ostensibly peaceful Governor-General of India, Lord Auckland, ordered the assembly of a vast army to counter the Persian move. The opportunity was also to be used to replace Shah Shuja back on his ancestral throne of Afghanistan. At the eleventh hour, Persia withdrew from its failed attack and to many a sage observer, Lord Auckland should have ordered his army back to barracks. Instead, an army of 10,000 soldiers, 50,000 transport animals and 30,000 camp followers advanced in December 1839 for the single purpose of regime change. From the very first blare of bugles and the cracking of whips, this glorious army was to prove that the path to Hell is paved with good intentions. In Dust of Glory the author explores the causes of the First Anglo-Afghan War and describes its course gleaned from a multitude of sources supported by seventeen sketch maps of key actions. No lessons were learnt as five more conflicts were to follow in this country that only produces fruit, nuts and opium."
-
Absolutely love the first Anglo Afghan War range, they're very close to tempting me back from my wargaming hiatus.
Are there any skirmish rulesets, with history etc. On this war that I am missing? I know that SP would suit, but not sure they have anything specific to the conflict. Would The Men Who Would be King be the closest?
Apologies if I'm missing something obvious!
-
I would love to do this,the miniatures are fabulous :-* However too much stuff…
Another very good book is William Dalrymple’s Return of the King.
-
I would say for skirmish times sets The Sword And The Flame or TMWWBK, though my personal preference is TSATF.

A very LARGE release from Iron Duke for their 28mm GAPS RANGE.
Get these whilst their hot. If you are thinking of picking these up at the Parizan show in a few weeks then place a pre order with us as stock will move quickly and we may suffer shortages due to sales and replenishment timings.
To place an order for Partizan just send us an e mail shopping list.

Paul,
Will there be a command pack for GAPS 11 and 12, the chaps in uncovered shakos? Ideally I’d like to see one with shakos rather than caps for the officers. No biggy if there isn’t, just a bit of conversion work. A specific command pack for the chaps in greatcoats would be lovely too.
