Hi again, more Sikh Wars to share with you this week. Really pleased with the current progress on the project and some of the colourful units starting to emerge.
This green coated unit is nearing completion with the Perry plastics fleshing the unit out and mixing quite well I think.
The Iron Duke Sikh Matchlock men are of course just lovely, the baggy sleeves great for a bit of added variety. I will probably add another plastic figure or two and may add in a shield for them as they look great on the Empress figures.
I also like the colour pallette on these Muslim Hill Tribes. The orange and blue in particular a good contrast. The kneeling plastic figure didnt quite come out as nice I was hoping but the figure firing whilst advancing I think worked really well.
They should mix in really well with the multiple other villains waiting in the painted box to be based up.
This particular Brigadier has come out rather well I feel, in full uniform with a nifty blood bay horse.
It is of course one of the Empress staff officers from the formerly Iron Duke Indian Mutiny range and fits in really well with the Sikh Wars collection. A lovely figure.
I have also managed part way through this post to finish off the last five of the Green Coated uniformed Sikh irregulars. I made the coats slightly lighter on this bunch though I dobt you will particularly notice when they are mixed into the unit, hoping it might add to the irregular look.
The outer two figures are wargames foundry with the right hand figure being a spearman with a jezail replacing the spear. The inner three are all Empress matchlock men.
Tha completes the unit and gives me another regiment and a couple of commanders to fire off to York for basing.
The mix of figures looks quite natural and only enhances the irregular nature of the unit. Hopefully the different shades of clothing also adds a little to that effect, we may see that on the pictures when they eventually come back from the basing department.
Overall really happy with the look of this unit.
Again thats it for now, I may focus a little on the Jacobites for a few days before returning to the Bengal Europeans, lets see.
Until then stay safe everyone.

They look great Roj. Potential for a massive Sikh Wars BP game at this rate!
ReplyDeleteCheers Chris, thats the plan, just need to get on top of the basing.
DeleteVery nice. I particularly like the length of those matchlocks - very authentic.
ReplyDeleteCheers Paul.
DeleteMore lovely brush work on an excellent range of figures - great stuff!
ReplyDeleteMuch appreicated thank you.
DeleteThese are beautifully presented figures and have v much enjoyed discovering your earlier AARs of a few Anglo-Sikh SP2 games. Are you able to share the lists you have used/developed for these?
ReplyDeleteHey Captain, I can probably dig ghem out from the last games, however we use quite modified verions of Black Powder with troops being standard, superior on inferior with all sorts of other changes which might impact the stats. Where would I put a file that you could access? On one of the facebook wargames pages?
