Are they nice figures? I'm thinking of getting some Burmese.

I only have some of the Ghurkas, but they are marvelous!

As stated I love this range.  I am not too keen on the Burmese though, they might be anatomically correct but they look a little small, and diminuative, under those big pith helmets.  That's just a personal opinion though, it is a spiffy range so in all liklihood they did look a bit odd in real life.

They might serve as good Martian troops though!!

@Chairface: do you have any of those Ghurkas painted? I'm getting ready to place an order for some. Just wanted to see how they look.
Now that I think about it, I'm going to get some british too

I have some painted examples here: http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?action=gallery;su=user;cat=197;u=520

Not the world's best painting or photography, but I think you can get a good idea of how fantastic the figures are.

I'm actually painting mine up now, but they probably wouldn't do you much good. I'm painting mine up as South Ambonese troops for my Dutch colonial army. But Aaron's should do the trick. Beautiful minis.

I noticed when I researched Moros that they were noticeably smaller than their Spanish and American opponents, could be the same for the Burmese.

Very nicely done! Even the slightly dodgy photos don't do them harm. Only joking, your figures are a great advert for the range 

It's good to see the kneeling figures are appreciably shorter than the standing ones. Often they are far too "tall" and look odd next to those standing, but these look just right. I also like how they are smaller than their British officers, but they do look a bit big next to the OG stuff 

Any chance of a comparison shot next to a Copplestone or a Perry?

Gurkhas look good indeed

the uniform discussion is almost funny 
can't help imagining some gamer who has one regiment with a big travel record with dozens of uniform variations....

I mean, the Sudan campaign....
uniforms anything else than regulation....
impossible to depict correctly, unless Perry do a Colonial British plastic pack with replacement heads, legs, pouches and bags etc - something like the Hussar set. Why haven't they done it already anyway?

Thanks Gluteus Maximus. I'd happily take some more comparison shots but I no longer own the figures. I had gave up on the project when it seemed like I couldn't get any more of them. Naturally within a week or two of selling them I found out they had a distributor!

Oh, that's a shame. Still, I suppose you could always buy a few more
