Test Mini for Royal Irish Fusiliers

[Anna Elizabeth]

Quickie update - I just clear-coated (gloss) the last 10 Fusiliers, so 24 hours from now, I can base them and finish my first full unit for Black Powder/ Colonial wargaming.

Looking forward to seeing them in action!

I've just started the colonial period a swell. I'm going for 20s-30s Waziristan.

Are you going straight in with a mass battle system or going to get some skirmish games in first? I get to impatient to wait 'til I have a whole army before I game.

Are you using any of Empress' "Jazz Age Imperialism"? Those look lovely.

I'd love to skirmish, my King's Royal Rifle Corps are based on 20mm square skirmish bases, and about 65% finished. I'm just now meeting people in Colorado that are interested in  gaming, so I do hope to start pretty soon.

yes! I've only allowed myself to go into a new theatre of war on the condition I buy one pack at a time and paint it up before buying the next one. My first pack was some Pashtuns/Afgans from Empress and they are lovely miniatures, full of character. I'm 75% through painting them, then to some gurkhas I think.

Sweet! Please post photos when you finish them. What brand are you using for the Gurkhas?

[tp_1983]

I think I've got some Copplestone Ghurkhas around somewhere, will have to have a dig around in the back of some cupboards. I'll put the Pashtuns up when their done, planning on putting them on the blog as well.

Anna,

They look much better with the toned down blanket rolls
