Not a great photo, but I'll set up some proper shots on terrain when I get in my first game.
So for a quick recap, this gives me four units of Beja foot (two with spears, one with swords, and one with rifles), the camels, and a mounted Emir - 89 models in a relatively short period of time. Going forward I intend to add two units of Nile Arabs and a unit of Baggara cavalry. Beyond that? Well, we'll see. I may incorporate ahistorical things like Zanzibar slavers (I don't think they ranged up the Nile to Egypt), nefarious Belgian mercenaries (not really appropriate as allies of the Mahdi), or Central African style brigands (Rugga Rugga). I already have a large collection of these from the Wargames Foundry Darkest Africa range that will fit right in with a little rebasing. Of course, I can always add more Beja foot!
Up next - reinforcements for the Brits - a platoon of the IX Sudanese!
Stunning work Clarence. You've really made terrific inroads with this project since the QC began.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Had I known how quickly this project could come together, I would have started it years ago!
DeleteLovely work! Just what we need, more camels!
