Yes , very interesting for the Nayars !

Note that Genevieve Bouchon a French specialist , wrote that in wartimes , Nayars had long hairs & beards , and wears "silk" jackets ...

Thats why i think about Foundry Baluchis ...

But the Hindu militia swordmen from Indus Miniatures could be OK too i think ...

[Metternich]

There are also these packs from the Wargames Foundry Indian Mutiny range (despite the wording of the url, the last pack is of peasant fighters):

Thanks Metternich , i had already bought some of these : the spearmen and the gun crew ...

[Byblos]

[Metternich]

Coming along very nicely indeed.  I look forward to this project.

[Codsticker]

Great progress Byblos.

[Malamute]

That looks great, very nice indeed

[traveller]

Great addition! It looks really fabulous! 

[Romark]

Really enjoying this 

[Byblos]

The next step for the Adil Shâh palace

I think i will make two version of the roof top : one with a dome (for purely muslim city) and one with shingles (for Persia or India)

I will make a little garden in one portion of the inner court , with a basin , a fountain , some palm trees ...

I could use these building for WW1 / RCW in Mesopotamia / Persia / Turkestan too (Ex: DunsterForce)










Sill waiting for my Black Tree Design order for Adil Shâh trrops , hope this will be not too long   

To be continued ...

[rumacara]

Just lovely.

[Metternich]

Taking shape very nicely indeed.
