How about a little tweak to the Sudan range?
MAHDIST CAV, UNARMOURED WITH A SPEAR OR SWORD
FUZZIE WUZZIE ON A CAMEL
FUZZIES WITH RIFLES
Seconding all of those. :D
Also, a Gardner gun with naval crew would be nice.
Yes please
maybe some Newspaper Correspondents
like the set from perry minitures ( Melton Prior sketching, Frederic Villiers mounted, Bennet Burleigh standing plus servant with standing horse)
Plus have a look at Army Hospital Corps set from Perry Minitures. ( 2 stretchers and injured, 3 orderlies,one doctor and a medical chest)

We've got some Colonial stuff being done by a guy as I type. I don't have an exact list of what's coming, but we might be seeing him at the Edinburgh show.
Ooo excellent news! ;D
So any updates on what is being worked on for Sudan?

The guy popped by and had a chat with Dave while I was away getting us some lunch, so I'll ask Dave when I speak to him next, and get some more info.
I asekd Dave about this, and the guy is actually doing Middle East WW1 at the moment, Turks and Arabs.
:-[
Hi Leon, not all bad news as the Turks could use a revamp, what figures are planned?
Please do not forget the Fuzzie Wuzzies & Co please ;)

I've got the Requests down, but unfortunately couldn't give you much idea of what's to come. The last time we saw the figures, they were all half done, and the guy didn't bring them along to the Edinburgh show.
Leon - could you post a pic of NEA2 Rugga Rugga tribesmen with rifles please? I'm curious whether they'd be passable stand-ins for Fuzzies...
NEA2 (bit blurry!):

Thanks Leon - I think they'll be fine as Fuzzy /Beja stand-ins - some as they are, and some with a bit of hairiness added...excellent! 8)
One thing that I'd like that'd be easy in all the colonial ranges (Sudan, Zulu, etc) is British foot officers in a separate pack so we can more easily vary organisation without ending up with lots of spare infantry. Just the existing figures in a pack of say 5 or 10.

We can do those for you, no problem. Odd numbers of any figures in our ranges can be done, just let us know what you need.
So are there any new colonials in the works?

Not at the moment, just the Turks and Arabs for WWI. I've got some stuff from the requests though, which I'll be trying to fit in before the end of the year.
Just as a point of interest, I'm using some of your Mahdist swordsmen as Iayalars in my Ottoman Turkish army. Helped by the fact that I've never been able to find any record of what the chaps actually looked like. ;)
"We can do those for you, no problem. Odd numbers of any figures in our ranges can be done, just let us know what you need."
Lovely jubbly :D Been thinking ahead to 2011 and wargaming plans and was looking at the lovely FIW range. May well go this route for POW rules but was concerned that I would have large surpluses of foot as only nine figures are needed per unit.
Good to know i can 'request' this ;)
Just adding my vote for :
1. A Gardner gun
2. Fuzzy-Wuzzy camelry
3. Fuzzy Wuzzy with rifle
Also, in addition : Camel pack artillery (NW11 with camels instead of mules)
I am using the Zulu gardner it works. I am going with the thread suggestion earlier for the fuzzy's with guns. But would love to see some fuzzy camelry.
Hi I just like to second Big Pauls suggestion of dead & wounded. Possibly some generic to the colonial period as I'm doing the NWF and I would like not to leave my tommies to ......
"When you're wounded and left on Afghanistan's plains,
And the women come out to cut up what remains"
Cheers for those requests!
