So recently I have bitted about a little more than usual. Some 15mm Marlburian High command for our groups game at the Durham show in June. A40mm drummer for Regiment Champagne for the very slowly growing 40mm TYW project . and finally these two little beauties. Command figures for the Indian Mutiny project. Both of these are from the Mutineer high command set and to be honest I am not sure who is who- though they do come with name labels on the figure and another as yet unfinished is definitely Lakshmi Bhai - The Rani of Jhansi as the figure is obviously female.
Painting these two was a treat in acrylics and inks over a white base coat to make the colours pop a little. They are added to the slowly growing force of Mutineers - or Freedom fighters if you prefer. To take on the forces of John Company
All of my Indian Mutiny forces are from the Old Glory range and once hey are table ready I plan to use a hybrid of Charge! and The Sword and the Flame which -at least in theory- should give the right mixture of order and sudden unpredictability.
Another figure from the same pack I painted a while ago. |
Some of the British opposition - all Old Glory from the same pack CMB2A |
And finally some mutineers- selections from 3 packs. |
Well that's the plan .....
Colorful and splendid officers!
ReplyDeletevery impressive miniatures and painting - the colourful mutineers look stunning!
ReplyDeleteThank you gentlemen - more on the painting desk.
ReplyDeleteVery nice indeed Andy. That's one period I have never painted.
ReplyDeleteLovely to see Mutiny figures, and your choice of vivid colours for the leaders is great. Very jaunty chaps.
ReplyDeleteThanks the Rani is almost done plus the first of the British commanders
DeleteYhese look very good, maybe one day I'll finish off my own Foundry IM figures.
