Perry Mahdist Ansars and British for the Sudan (updated 14 10 21)
« on: September 01, 2021, 11:34:30 PM »
The recent lockdown in Sydney has been the perfect excuse to revive my dormant colonial project. I've had two boxes of Perry plastic Mahdist Ansars waiting for some paint and a half started box of British infantry. Pleased to say I've finished off the first box of Ansars and the figures in the second are now assembled and waiting for primer.

I've gone with 3,2,1 basing for the Mahdists, I think it suits their irregular formations more than a sabot base. There's a blog post for those interested in more on the basing and painting here https://thetacticalpainter.blogspot.com/2021/09/321mahdist-ansars-are-go.html

Here are some pictures:

Lovely work. Can I ask what colour you used for the British uniform?

Thanks

Lovely looking figures.

I’m interested that you have mix round and ‘square’ bases for the Mahdists?

Thanks. All the details are in the blog post for much of the painting on both sets of figures. The British are based in VMC Khaki, washed with Agrax Earthshade, then highlighted with Khaki and then Khaki mixed with VMC Dark Sand.

It’s because they refuse to conform to oppressive imperialist conventions! Tribal is as tribal does 😉

Beautifully painted figures, I particularly like the flesh tones on the British.  The basing on the Madhits is an excellent idea , once you’ve seen it you wonder why you didn’t think of it yourself.  :)
