Mutineer,
I'm not sure how accurate the Foundry figures are but any plans to do Brits in service dress with pillbox hats (without the sun shade)?  I need some decent sculpts to proxy as Canadian Militia during the Fenian Invasion:

Inspirational stuff!

Got me re-reading Christopher Hibbert's The Great Mutiny

Very good general history of the Mutiny! It was the first book I read on the subject  :)

I would like to get some more pointers on good reads on the mutiny,
I just read the short but inspiring A Cavalry Officer in the Sepoy Revolt by A.R.D. MacKenzie.
I feel an urgent need for a book concentrating more on the units and battles fought, as it is more than likely that I will spend my last anna, not on arrak but on Mutineer figures...... :o :D

The most authoritative work on the subject must be Brigadier-General Sir Harry Flashman's eye witness chronicles as published by George MacDonald Fraser. Or so I've been convinced. ;)

Good to see you again, Erik! It's been ages. Right in time for LPL 4 to.  :)

Hi Hammers, old bean!  :)

Having spent most of last year in the Outer Tunguska reagion searching for the elusive golden yak, I am now lately returned to the civilization - less three camels and two native porters. :D

Unfortunately I don't think I'll make this league... unless....
