The Battle of Byklabad...
« on: March 31, 2011, 10:59:16 AM »
Jon and I are fighting an Indian Mutiny battle this afternoon. Here are a few shots of the set up in GHQ~

An overview of the table ~


The heart of the Mutineers' position centred on Byklabad~


The Raja of Rhanli's Horse hold the Mutineers' left flank~


The HEIC's centre~


The 16th Lancers hold the left flank supported by the Bengal Horse Artillery~


Bykli Singh leads the Badmash forward~


Mutineer Cavalry & Horse Artillery ready to sweep forward on the right flank~


To be continued....

Oooooh, I wish I were there! Great setup, Yankeepedlar01! A bit linear for my liking but that is a stunning table.

Love it,the I.M. is so colourful not gamed in years in this period but still one of my favs.
Great set up and well painted figures well done.
The Victorian Outpost

Its a new gaming place in Grimsby with new terrain and new scenery, lots of respect for all wargamers and is the best place to game in town.

Anybody who wishes to visit the venue to arrange a game then  just pm me and lets roll those dice.

How are the rules coming along? Great looking setup, very jealous here. Foundry figs just look great don't they? I'm still banging along on my first mutiny unit- Neil's bluecaps, but stupid work and Call of Pripyat pc game keep getting in the way.

Thanks! Rules played well ~ eight moves in two hours ~ but still need a good deal of fine tunning beforer being offered up for others to use. I lost, of course, though I blame the dice.... :'(

How are you painting mutineer skin tones? I've been wondering how I will do it, and yours look great on film- good depth.

awsome collection

one question for interest:
how comes the buildings are reddish?
the mud, authentic colour or artistic freedom?
they look good

Copied from the Mutineer buildings I saw on their game last year at Partizan. Northern Indian colour I believe.
