Lovely use of colour on the elephant 'blanket' (don't know what the correct name is!)

The vivid blue and red really contrasts the the dull grey of the skin.

First class job!

Looks like straight Foundr Baluchi's to me but I could be wrong.

Yeah don't forget the Baluchis! Also some of the Zanzibari types will work as well and the Baluchis in African/Arab dress. Baluchis, Mekranis, Viliates, and other "Volunteers" showed up in the Mutinous armies (mostly in central India).  Most of them were already working as mercenaries all across India, so they aren't out of place.

Well spotted, the figures are a mix of Foundry Baluchi and Zanzibari Arab, with one from Eureka lurking in there somewhere.

I bought some Perry Baggara Arabs for the cavalry, I hope they mix well.
