More Indian metal

Here are some pictures of a unit I actually managed to finish!
 Shock Horror!
 These models represent the 2nd Bengal Irregular Cavalry- Gardners Horse raised in 1809 by William Linnaeus Gardner. The models are from the Old Glory Sikh Wars range which is actually pretty large having some 40 or so different packs of models including all the major troop types plus a few others !  There are also useful models in the Indian Mutiny range.

 The first risalah there will be others to make the unit  up to about 24 cavalry 
though I auapect I shall only do one European officer. 
 These troops are very versatile. Not only can they turn out for full blown campaigns such as the Pindari War  and the Sikh Wars but also for the everyday small change  of recalcitrant Rajas and  Zemindars who don't want to pay their tax bills ! Plenty of scope for games of different types- but all with an historical background.
