New Indian Mutiny unit just painted.

[Furt]

That is a great looking battle. All individually mounted to boot - awesome!   

Am I allowed to say I like the two elephant models best, or would that be disrespectful to the whole HUGE rest of this awesome collection?

I like the elephants too - any chance of a close up of the howdah one?

[oxiana]

Wonderful! The first Foundry figures I ever bought were Indian Mutiny sepoys. But I only ever had something like a dozen - nothing like the splendid action on display here!

[Hammers]

I'm trying to find the Witch-King in there somewhere...

[Trooper]

The elephant with the howdah is the Foundry one, which I painted some years ago now, no closeups at the mo, but I will get you some next time we play. The elephants pulling guns are actually HAT plastics, which work very well with the Foundry sized figs.

[Galloping Major]

Foundry also did (and presumably still do despite several confused and confusing range re-juggles ) some very nice elephants towing guns, carrying infantrymen etc.

[Jon Suth]

The elephants pulling the guns are actually HAT Indian elephants with junk jewellery chains attached.  The commanders elephant is a Foundry one Trooper painted for me.  Most of the rest are either Foundry or OG, there are some First Corps here and there, some old Citadel and a bunch of figures I bought from Fleabay as "asiatic infantry" - no idea what they are really they just make nice rabble. 

[ARKOUDAKI]

A truly excellent collection! I am so jealous that you have all yours painted while mine sit idly by waiting for me to get to them...the new Perry plastic French Cuirassiers and Carabiniers are on the workbench being built...and then I have a pile of the Perry's wonderful plastic WofR...and I don't even go medieval  !

In any event, it is nice to see such a lovely set of armies on the tabletop.

Going back to your gift of British Mtd. Officers, am I correct that the horses are from Foundry's Sikh War range? Did you add any other bits to them? Please do tell...

[sepoy1857]

WOW! Well done.

[Bugsda]

 I can't believe I missed this thread    Fantastic work Trooper   

[Trooper]

Thank you all for the kind words. Arkoudaki, the horses are Foundry American Civil War horses, as they have better saddles and kit and are more animated than the rather boring and puny looking looking Mutiny ones.

[glandowski]

Very purty stuff. I like my 1/72 plastics, but sometimes I really like the 28s.... 

[richardpate]

 :)outstanding figures!

[dm]

Very nice indeed

[swiftnick]

Thats a lot of sepoys
