Algeria 1840

[Shedman]

This is part of my overall project to fight the campaigns that François Bazaine was involved in

So far I've done 1st Carlist War, 2nd Italian War of Independence, French Intervention in Mexico and the Franco-Prussian War

This is the Algerian part which is almost complete

All of the French figures are Pendraken miniatures and virtually all of them have been painted by Nathan (toxicpixie). They are based for  Bloody Big Battles

I really like the tall red kepi on those troops, and the fact that some of them have ditched the pantalons rouge for something a little cooler.

Luscious! Can you show us the locals next?

Here's a bad photo of the Algerian cavalry - they are 10mm Little Wars Miniatures Tuaregs - although I reckon they are more like 11/12mm

I will take some better pictures and post them

Looking forward to the better pictures

[Shedman]

I've posted some (hopefully) better pictures of my Algerian cavalry to my blog page

Next up Algerian infantry, tents, camels and civilians

@Leon - as thy are not Pendraken figures you might want to move this thread over to non-Pendraken

The algerian cavalry is very impressive
