Baluchi, Pathan and Sikh Warriors off the workbench

 Mainly focused on getting some more irregulars off the workbench this week. Mix of different ranges and you probably get a better feel for the batch painting with limited pallettes with this lot too.

First three are Foundry Baluchi  in pale of white and ivory colours, lovely characterful figures.

These are simple but elegant figures, large when they were sclpted but fit really well with more modern sculpts.
This next lot have a definate bias for blue grey and orange (Colour party field blue and Tawny) a really goos mix of colours these.
A mix of manufacturers here from left to right we have a Perry plastic Afghan, a studio miniatures Afghan and a Foundry Baluchi leader type.
Adding more figures in scruffy of white colours with the next bunch, highlighted by a bit of mid blue.
Left to righ we have a Foundry Afghan with two Wargames Atlantic lastic Afghans, both of these last have got Perry arms added which has worked quite well.
In a slight departure with the blue out I painted an extra two Sikh Currassier, these are the Foundry Sikh Wars range.
These two give me four more figures to add to the original six and finish the unit off.
Here are the full four on their way to be based and join the rest of their comrades.

More to follow I am sure, I am however also trying to get  abit of basing done so perhaps another unit or two will see the basimg knife before I share anymore brushwork. Until then stay safe.

  1. The Foundry Baluchi, Afghans and Sikhs, although old nowadays, are amongst my all time favourite figures. They still look great. Nice brushwork.

  2. Great stuff. And as I’ve said before I love that old Foundry Sikh Wars range. The cuirassiers are a must have so great that you’ve finished the unit (the jacket colour of the dragoons is prettier). How long did it take to paint these additions and how’s your gut coping with the steady flow of figures? Take it easy 😎
