There's a full mameluke band there! They are lovely looking figures indeed. Will they be available after the Christmas period?

Your Napoleonic stuff would have gone down a storm at Battleground in Stockton last weekend. There was good interest in the Napoleonic games on show.

I like the subtle cymbalism of these additions.  Bloody nice sculpts!

These have been based on the 1815 campaign yes, but I'm sure a small squadron would be fine for my 1812 Russian setting? I'm not up on mameluke uniforms I'm afraid.They're too nice not to have a few. I'll keep an eye on these being ready as I still want to make an order for some engineers and a few of these.

cheers matey...........actually these Mamelukes cover 1804-1815
they never reached regimental strength being a strong company until
1813 when they went to squadron strength. for Waterloo uniforms were
drawn out and the equipment was issued but by then the uniform was
simplified and was dark blue and crimson....being attached to the Guard
Chasseurs a Cheval they appear to have escaped contemporary notice
and may not had exceeded 50 odd troopers

looking forward to you order :D
