I got a single sprue of these off eBay that arrived today. I needed 4 extra Baluchis for my darkest Africa project and £3.00 for five seemed a better than Foundry prices. My impression are they are ok, as plastics go, they remind me more of the old Wargames Factory miniatures not quite up to the standards or Perry or Victrix but serviceable enough. They are, I think, a tad taller than my Foundry Baluchis (apart from the kneeling guy who appears to be a midget) buy they are skinner and their weapons have much finer proportions.

I was thinking of using them to make Bashi Bazouk for an upcoming Sudan game. Do you think they would work?

The bodies and jezails would work, you might want to mix in some ACW Zoave heads.
