What a wonderful collection!
Agree that the Indian Mutiny is one of the most fascinating Colonial eras ever.
The sheer variety of uniforms makes it almost endless.

Cheers, everyone, for the compliments. Hugely appreciated. Gary’s work shines over my own, if I’m honest,  but it is giving me the mojo to keep improving my own output! Let me confess, I started the period knowing little about it but loving the appearance and miniatures. The more I read into it, the more fascinating it gets.

Gary is currently working on some cavalry for me but setting out what I had on the tabletop has really highlighted that my own focus now needs to be on getting a lot more mutineer infantry and some ox draw artillery completed.

Will post up a few updates as and when units are completed but don’t hold your breath as I’m back to the day job now after the festive break…..

Lovely stuff! Timely too - I've been reviewing what I have with the (perhaps vague) intention of doing something meaningful for the IM this year.
This is just the right inspiration.
Really good to see them all multi-based too where a lot of folk seem to settle on single basing for the mutiny. Perhaps the vivid individual accounts pull people's focus down to the single-figure level bit there's a lot of bigger stuff to explore as well.
Which rules are you using and what's your basing convention for this period?

Currently trying various rule sets to find something I like - may well end up writing my own. I’ve even been reading the old Newbury colonial rules!

Basing convention - units of 32 based in 4’s (centre is a double element to accommodate the Colours). Bases are 40mm wide, 50mm deep. Horse will be on 25mm wide x 50mm deep, individually mounted. Artillery etc - whatever looks right.

Truly inspired collection. Looking forward to your mutineer expansions and any game reports.
