Any chance you could post oics when you get them. I am very interested but would like to see them first. I know I could put in a sample order but it would be really piddly.

Do you mean once they are painted, or the bare metal? They look pretty much like the photos on the Irregular site that I already posted (well they would, wouldn't they?), but I can post some if you like.

Not sure when I will get to painting them. Hopefully soon, but I've said that before.

Bare metal is fine. I like the look of the cavalry figure already posted but would like to see the infantry as well. I do find that some of the Irregular figures are not as good as others.

Oh I'm sorry, I didn't buy any infantry. There are pictures on the Irregular site (just follow Fjodin's link above and then go to the 25mm Colonial section) and I didn't much like the look of them. I'm going to use other manufacturers' figures for the infantry.

Thats good I prefer 15mm, because Irregular Miniatures 15mm Colonial Range figures are moustly good (russians and civilians are VERY good). Soon I'll order 15mm bornu and post photos of unpainted minis here.

WOW! My order have arrived and 15mm Bornu are great. I've ordered 1 heavy and 1 light horseman, 2 spearmans, 2 archars and 2 musketeers.

Infantry are just like on this pic. My 2 spearmens have same body but different heads (with and without wrappings)


Archers wear same clothing and also very great

Armored horseman is like here

but this is big photo. Actually 15mm mini looks even more detailed.

Musketeers wear some kind of robe. Well sculped.

Soon I'll put a photos.

Does anyone know colours of infantry shields???

Great find on that pic Fjordin, all the others I have seen but thats a new one. If I ever get round to painting my West Africa stuff it will be very useful.

Edit- I take that back , some of Plynkes I hadnt seen before, in fact I dont remember them being posted , Im getting old!
But it does want me to drag out the Irregular minis I bought ages ago

Did they kidnap a bunch of Irish Grannies? I think my Grandmother might have made most of their quilts.

I've painted some of 15mm Irregular Bornu infantry. I placed 1 variant for photo purpose but there are several variants. Same pose but different clothing.
