Whaouh  :-* :-* :-*

here is the sprue shot :



5 figurines per sprue and 40 in the box for +/- £25

As talibans too, but need to find some AK 47 now.

Any one knows if the British are coming ?

I like the look of these. It's great that they have included a whole array of different arms, heads and weapons.  They look to be excellent and I shall be investing in some when they eventually emerge for sale.

Great looking figures. Are there some heads in skullcaps? Squinting at the photo it looks like there might be two? I always want a mix of headgear with my tribesmen!

There look to be 10 heads, 2 with skull cap.

I might be tempted to buy the Perry seperate Sikh heads and use soem of these as Sikh irregulars for my Sikh wars project.

Would be interested in seeing the sikh war conversions.  Will most likely buy some of these sets in the future. Think they would be great to convert gripping beast light cavalry in indian irregular cavalry as fielded in great numbers at Assaye and Plassey to name a few big battles.

Hmmm.
Such a shame the Perrys didn’t do this. Looks like the initiative has been seized by another...
Nice painting as usual  :)
Be interesting to see what the kit’s like and how much is in it.

They look quite good, but I would have appreciated wider array of weapons. It  seems like they are stopping by nothing later than a Martini-Henry. Some  Mausers, Enfield MI and Mosin-Nagant would have been nice to.

Exactly my thoughts.  I looked into getting some Lewis guns and some Warlord games weapon sprues to make some 3rd Afghan War/Waziristan opponents.

You  could, of course do a mashup of Warlord plastic Russians and these pathans, but that means paying double.

or for more modern wars, pick up the Projet Z sprue :

WWII sprues might work, but the Project Z line is discontinued for the time being. There's a few leftovers to be had, but no weapon sprues.
