That sash is great - I tend to chicken out about stripes, plaids and similar! The black and white are also well done, and both hard colours to get looking good.

That sword... just a bit over the top, maybe?  ;)

Chambersofminiatures is one of those kooks that is able to paint amazing detail onto surfaces many of us are not even aware of on a miniature...

I see his stuff in person and want to throw my work down a well...

Yes, that set of Foundry Baluchis is a very good one, note that the leader, in the black khalat, has a pistol in his sash, too.

I use them as Hyborian desert folks of varying origin, nice generic desert folks, those.

Great figure, the sword is a little long for my taste. The sash is amazing.

I agree the sword is way too long, but that is the point... :D

Hi, all thanks for the help!

I had settled on the Foundry Baluchi Mercenaries until I visited their website and realised that it would have cost me £10.50 + £8.00 postage! What! I'm not playing £18.50 for a a set of miniatures from which I'll only use one or two. So instead I ordered these



Hopefully the pre-drilled hands will make them easier for converting. Another quick question does anyone know where I can purchase weapon sets from? I'm looking for period rifles/pistols.

Cheers
Andy

Given that HT, SH, and DG are all 4, I'd probably restrict some things to bring him nearer G3 average.

I'd probably reduce the possible rifle skill a bit. That seems to me a little deadly - which of course these fellers are supposed to be. Am I talking sonsense here???  ???

Hey Andy,

I bought some Japanese pistols, Colts and Thompsons from The Assault Group and they look very nice. Here is a link to their weaponry:
