Sergeant McGruffing directs the lads 'thataway'. I'm going to do my best to have the rest of the platoon finished by next weekend. Then I'm going to take a short break from the Imperials to paint up a few Mahdists so I can actual get in a game. By a few, I mean something in the realm of 100...
Once I manage to accomplish that (see the optimism?) I'll be switching between the two armies:
IX Sudanese Battalion (20 models)
Two more units of Mahdists (20 models or 12 models depending on if they are foot or mounted)
20th Hussars (12 models)
Two more units of Mahdists (possibly some Nile Arabs to add more variety to the army)
British Camel Corps (12 models mounted plus 10 troopers on foot and two bases of camels 'at ease')
Two more.. you get the idea.
My initial goal is five units of Imperials and something like 200 Mahdists. That's about the limit for a game of The Sword and the Flame (and my 4x6' table). If I actually make it this far, I'll see where the collection goes from there.
More soon...
Great work once again, these Highlanders are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteReally enjoying these. Also glad I started with the more complicated models. It should be a breeze to paint some 'regular' troops after this.
DeleteVery nice Clarence.
ReplyDeleteNice highlanders indeed Clarence. Well done!
ReplyDeleteLovely looking Highlanders! I think by nature we tend to be optimists as I look at all the figures I optimistically think I will complete in a given time!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Everyone needs a break after painting Highlanders, nice job 👍
ReplyDeleteReally nice, detailed work.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful brushwork Clarence.
ReplyDeleteThanks, guys!
ReplyDeleteThose are very nice Clarence. We need more pictures of these laddies.
ReplyDeleteI’ll be taking more photos on terrain once I have the full company finished!
DeleteGood work, again!
