Down in the Sudan

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

A while back, a friend had to deal with the estate of a wargamming collegue. Amongst the figures were a selection of 10mm Pendraken Sudan figures, mostly Anglo-Egyptian, some painted, some not.
I rebased the originals and added some in later uniforms for the reconquest period. There are more to come, firstly to take my figures up to five base units.

The batch I painted


Top down on the full patrol


Sudenese infantry in Egyptian service






Egyptian cavalry






Egyptian foot in campaign dress




The bits I rebased, two units of British infantry, two units of earlier Egyptian infantry

As soon as I posted the previous post, I realised that I really should have my units at the same strength in bases as those I inherited, so extra bases done.
Egyptian Cavalry


Looking on


Still waiting


Extra Egyptians and Sudenese units


Gets me four more strength units. Now need to decide how many figures and bases for the Mahdists


Advancing, covered by fire

Ready to go

Good stuff, Will.

Another unit of Egyptian infantry, Sudanese infantry and three artillery batteries


It's a lot of shot

Advancing beyond the guns


Pushing on


Ready to fight

Nice one, Will.

They look good!

For some reason, artillery on wide squat bases look really odd to me   I know this is a 'me problem' and I have no idea why this should be the case. 

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

I usually ram two guns on a base that size, but I was going with what I had got!

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Extra Anglo-Egyptian forces, quite a few of them.


Starting, of course, with two more units of Sudenese.

Side on


There's something out there


It's getting quite a large force now, but quantity doesn't equal quality (I'm looking at you Comrade Stalin)


An extra unit of Egyptians painted up like the original owner did them


Fire line


Will use them as Turkish or Garrison troops, as opposed to field forces


'Tiz a simple paint job, but I like it!


Bangs


Prussian supplied limbers


Supplied by Leon and team


Do like a limber team, gives an army depth


Escorted teams too


Think of running these in a campaign, so had better get on with th Mahdists


I predict a LOT of camels being ordered and on my painting table soon

[Techno 3]

Great work, Will.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

First Mahdist units done. Had a lot of fun researching these, composing units and painting them.
Most units will be designed to be used by all tribal groups, so you will see some of each figures in each unit, but there will be some specialised units.
Three Hadendoa/Fuzzy (etc) units


Top view


A lot deeper than the European regular troops, on purpose, to make them more hoard-y


And going the other way


Ansar units (think central government units, without centralisation, maybe). Shooter unit and turbaned unit.


Top view of these.


Packing shot


Had a lot of fun with the flags


Big guns - not quite, but the idea was there. Artillery will come, I'm sure.


Final unit of this batch and generals


Sneaky sneaky


Blending in a bit?


Get 'em!


Player's view


Charge!


Mahdist cavalry and camalry next, then British units.

Very nice looking units, the extra depth of the bases definitely gives them a more "warbandy" look.
