Title: Baggage and camels for the Sudan
Post by: Maenoferren on 10 May 2016, 09:34:50 PM
I have decided I need more baggage camels for my  imperial forces. I am going to add in the baggage horses from the Mongol forces, anyone got any bright ideas. I was considering the pack mules with the Maxim and artillery, but I  am not after the gun parts.

Somewhere I have seen a picture with mule/ horse drawn wagons in it. So I am trying to find that too. Basically I want a fair bit of baggage to cause the imperial forces a headache :)

The Fantasy range has some very useful bits in it.

No picture on the site I'm afraid but I think the ones shown here are the right ones

Cheers Ithorial, I have a couple of packs of these, which I forgot to mention and sadly they are huge, too big to use with the historical scale figures, nice though they are.

Hello Maenoferren

Other options you could look at could be the wagon drawn by oxen from the Boer War range:-

or maybe try hitching up the riderless camels to the wagon a la:-
