 Egyptians finished - the quasi Sudanese are lurking at the back. They are basically late Askari from the WW1 range that were part of my pulp forces I had a load painted so stuck them on a base :) not the right uniform colour... but hey.....

Well when I say finished... I mean finished apart from the base that I completely missed.....

Lister: "Oh God, aliens... Your explanation for anything slightly peculiar is aliens, isn't it?

Rimmer: "Well, we didn't use it all, Lister. Who did?"

Lister: "Rimmer, aliens used our bog roll?"

Don't join the Foreign Legion then, you might be sorely tempted.

Great idea to use the zouaves as Bashi-Bazouks.
Nice and colourfull bunch!

Very nicely painted Bashi Bazouks. Don't know how many you'd actually have seen on the battlefield, though. They'd be too busy plundering and cutting throats in the rear areas, I reckon.

top work keeping the colours totally random and no obvious repetition between figures.  :-bd

Nice work all round, sir! I like the technique of using the different poses for different units.  :-bd

Don't say that - I've been wanting a few Bactrian baggels for my Indian and Chinese armies for years.
