Seen at 'Warfare' today: first 3 packs of very nice Afghan/Pathans suitable for late 19th century 'Great Games'.

I think they are meant for a little later than that, given the Lee-Enfields, Lewis guns and such. 3rd Afghan War and beyond.

At a push you could use them as moderns - there's nowt wrong with a Lee-Enfield.

What's wrong with the Afghans from Newline Designs, as a matter of interest?

Nice models, but I wish they would bulk out their AZW range more before going into new ventures. I still wait for the promised skirsmishing infantry and sailors.

Hadn't seen them to be honest. It's not the Afghans I'm after though, it's their opponents. Anyone know how the Indian/Sikh troops scale with other ranges?

There are plenty  of Walz Age pathans around. Foundry, for example. :)

That's fair enough! Seems like they were kept quiet.

Mine are mostly Old Glory; one of their better ranges. I do like the look of those Empress ones though
