here is some new Afghan engineers



Based on 1 Irish Warrior (Atlantic Wargame ) and 2 Perry Afghans.

the black powder ker are made from a wood round barbecue stick and scultpted .
The middle one is based on the afghan drum converted into a keg. Sometime i lazy, i know. 
the fuse are made with a small braided wire.

Excellent work on your fort.
Love it.

I actually like the "drum" one and think it perfectly plausible from the perspective of a innocent looking object and quick "were one keg short dam!, quick use that drum"

[nervisfr]

Excellent work on your fort.
Love it.

thank you Marine0846

It's a "made in Aghanistan" keg.
After engineers, i'll convert some Perrys into Casualties.....need dead engineers.

Looks awesome. Im getting into this era too so this is great inspiration starting out.

Short fuse or long one

How much mettle do they have? 

[nervisfr]

As engineers, they have got a lot !
And a short life expectancy too 

[jagergreen]

Very nice!
I love your Afghans carrying explosives. Nice figure conversions.

Every time I see this thread I think its says NSFW

[nervisfr]

Thank you guys,
The afghans are now finished and based.
Will drop pictures soon.

The opponents (British, Ghurka & Indian inf.) are near the basing step   

More to come

Cool! Great idea, and brought to life very nicely. 


If I ever get back to my Somali project I need to do something similar with some WW1 Indian Infantry. Some brave Sikh lads used such tactics against Somali fortress gates when the forts proved impervious to the Brits' artillery (didn't really help that the only artillery they had were mortars),
