Indian Commanders

absolutely beautiful.  Not a period I have ever considered.  2027 Maybe.

Excellent

Great looking units Paul

I feel that a lot of thought has gone into the figure composition of these, as well as the research into units and the painting. 

Looking forward to seeing more.

I'm sure you have said, but which rules are you basing for?

[Nick the Lemming]

Absolutely marvelous, Paul. How many more to go now?

Fantastic work as always Paulr!

Pictures, I like pictures!  Stunning work, you've been very busy.

Sterling stuff all round! Though I have a particular fondness for the rather motley Allahabad Volunteers!

I've really enjoyed going down the many rabbit holes and finding ways to represent them on the table

A Wing scale variant of Volley & Bayonet
We already use Volley & Bayonet for Napoleonics and a Wing scale variant for AWI

Absolutely marvelous, Paul. How many more to go now?

About 750

They were particularly fun, if time consuming. MUB12 Gentleman Horse added greatly to the motleyness
