A Sikh Wars Workbench

 Taking a break from 40mm and Russian Civil War, I have got stuck into my Sikh Wars project again.

Aiming to get a Bengal Irregular Cavalry Regiment, a Bengal Native Infantry battalion and a Muslim irregular Warband done.

Photography is a little dark, winter isnt great for Natural light.

I already have 2 BNIC units, the classic combination of Blue and Red for 12th works for me and they fought in a  number of engagements.

I had too many British officers and not enough Sowars so a couple had head swaps to become Native officers, all these guys are Empress Miniatures figures.

This Officer was spare so becomes an extra cavalry commander for my three brigades of Horse

The last of the 12th all Sowars with shouldered blades. Just the middle horse I had to pinch, its an old Gripping Beast one with greenstuff saddle blanket added.

I already have a bunch of Muslim tribesmen, I am setting about increasing these to give me a full unit with firearms and another with bladed weapons. figures are a mix of manufacturers, left to right, Perry, Perry, Foundry, Foundry, Foundry, Wargames Atlantic plastic.

The next bunch are all plastic, units will have a mixture on each base, first is Wargames Atlantic, rest are Perrys.

I have also a Sikh horseman to start of my last unit with a British Officer to kick off the next Bengal Native Infantry unit. Foundry on a LOTR horse and Perry Carlist Wars respectively.

The majority of the next Bengal Native infantry are below to supplement the officer. These are a mix of Empress and Wargames Foundry and fit pretty well together. Flags are from Virtual arm chair general. 

Lastly a couple more mounted natives. A foundry lancer to mix in with the Sikh irregular cavalry and an Afghan Leader to add to my Muslim irregulars.

Plenty more going on, watch this space for more.
