sounds like the answer to me- Thanks for the answer, I look forward to seeing the Mahdists.

Darrell,
Warbases CAN do them touching. Derek and I got some done like that for our 15mm FIW to depict units in firing line.
Best to draw out exactly what you want on paper, show all measurements. Take a pic and send it to Martin and ask for a sample and a price.
I've just posted a few pics on my blog for you to see one tarted up and with some minis.

Cheers Jack  8), I'll set out a plan ASAP- we've just moved to much nearer my parents to help out a bit more and i'm up to my neck in detritus at present.

I'll check out your blog ASAP too  :).

Great looking miniatures and basing! Could you share which paints/ methods you have used for the bases? As they look splendid.

Thanks for the kind words - of course I can do a tutorial though my method has developed over the years into a quite laborious one. I'll post one with pics on my blog when I'm next doing some basing, if that's ok.

Hi Atheling,

I've posted up a build of my own custom sabot bases on my blog:

Jimbibbly's Perspex rings were exactly what I was after

Hi all,

A writeup of a few games on my blog. All painted, with all the sabot trays finished. Took a while to get there, and more lead to add (after a but of a break from the Sudan, I suspect).

Really good looking game.

We found BP combats a bit odd, with a small difference in the combat, followed by a poor roll on the rout tests, leading to a routed unit. I think you can add a fair bit of extra complexity without breaking the rules.

one other thing, do you have some details of how you made the casualty blood splat markers?
