Empress Indian Mutiny - this year’s project

[ARKOUDAKI]

  Great collection! And if this is 'building up slowly' then I better give up the hobby!

It is not just the wonderful:-
castings, painting, flags etc. but the way you have grouped
the figures on their bases. each seems to tell its own
little story.

Cheers alll, much appreciated! It’s important I keep re-stressing that the nicer paint jobs are down to the skills of Gary Shirley. I’m just painting the easy stuff!

Re the basing (the only but that is all me!)  I’m lucky with Paul Hicks’  sculpting, it just lends itself to the pseudo dioramas that just seem so right (in my opinion) for this campaign.

The individually mounted skirmish lines might also be better grouped on to larger bases for appearance/ease of play (say 2 or 3 to a base?) but I’ve kept them as individuals so I can play Sharp Practice with them plus use them more easily in siege games etc.

Figures look fantastic, have been working on Indian Mutiny project myself over the last year

Whether you or Gary Shirley did the work, the woman in the second of your posts on the first page of this thread is truly stunning work - I see women wearing garments like that around here fairly often (we have a sizable Sikh community in this region of California).  Rani of Jhansi perhaps?

I, too, like the multiple basing.  I will be using three abreast for my British and 3 in an 'irregular' square base for the mutineers (mostly, might let a few be better organized/better quality).  My long stalled IM project has been reinvigorated by the recent OG25/Bluemoon release in 15/18 mm.  Already bought the figures, just need to get to painting them - eventually!

Cheers all. The Rhani is Gary’s work!
