Beautiful! I thought about getting a SYW-era Indian army and decided not to follow up due to too many other commitments. Your pics show just what can be done. Top class!  :-*

That’s a really fantastic army. The figures are really well painted, it is true, but I also think that the bases really bring them together. Am I mistaking or most of the Indian figures came from Foundry’s Indian Mutiny range?

Most of the Indian foot troops are Foundry with a smattering of Perry, Bears Den, London War Room and the odd Old Glory. Artillery is a mix of Redoubt, old GW, London War Room and Old Glory. Cavalry are Perry, Foundry, Musketeer, A&A and GW Al Muktar's Desert Dogs!

Elephants are Foundry, London War Room with some Bear's Den heads.
...his whole mass of cavalry came on at speed in the most splendid style. The rush of horse, the sound of the earth, the waving of flags, the brandishing of spears, were grand beyond description but perfectly ineffectual.

I forgot to list the Europeans!

Front Rank, Crusader, Perry, some Foundry and a very small number of Old Glory. Sepoys are mostly Parkfield with one unit of 1st Corp.

Which figure manufactures by the way?
