Fuzzy camelry have been around for a while, so that wish can be granted with ease. If you have the patience, cutting and filing, followed by glueing, creates acceptable Egyptians on camels too. But the dhow and proper Fuzzy riflemen would be worth having.

I'd be interested in more stuff for the Mahdist Wars.

What about Abyssinians to fight the Battle of Gallabat.  200,000 men can't be wrong!

I've got an Abyssinian army; converts from Masai, Rugga Rugga again, sundry ancients; they're pretty good.

I second this. I'm not keen on the pose of the current dismounted camel corps.

Now that mine are finished, I quite like the single pose.... Just call me Mr Fickle and evidently Mr forgetful, I already said this earlier... :-[

Some additions to the Sudan line I'd like to see:
British Hussars
Black Sudanese infantry for the Egyptian army
Bashi Bazouks

And I'll add votes for gardener guns and for another paddle steamer. I think the current one looks a bit meh (that said, I'm curious to see pics of it painted up)
Title: Re: Colonial Sudan requests
Post by: Maenoferren on 21 May 2016, 10:09:03 PM
Bashing Bazooka can be found in the Turkish range RT7... I  used Zouaves in the turban for mine ( I didn't realise RT7 existed) as for Sudanese in the earlier periods they were dressed as the Egyptian troops.

I would also be interested to see some pictures of the paddle steamer painted up

Also the dimensions would be useful

I've used some of those as Landsknechts. The pose is more animated than that of the pukka renaissance figures.

Since the Mahdists don't really change from the beginning to the fall of Khartoum and the later period Brits are largely covered in the Boer War and NW Frontier, it would be nice to have Egyptians from the later campaign. In particular, something like:

1. Egyptians in tunic with neck scarf.
2. Sudanese in Jersey.

At 10mm scale, it seems you could switch them around just by the color of flesh and Jersey and puttees.

Since it's a new year, here's my current Sudan requests:

British Hussars
Gardner gun and naval crew
Gardner gun and Egyptian crew
Camel Corps command figures, mounted and dismounted. And maybe an alternate pose for the dismounted camel corps.
Egyptian Camel Corps
Egyptian cavalry command
Mahdists in long jibbahs
Fuzzy Wuzzies with rifles
Characters (The Mahdi, Osman Digna, Gordon, Wolesley, Hicks Pasha, Col. Burnaby etc)
Another, bigger steamship (one can dream!)
Gordon's Sudanese/irregulars
Egyptian civilians
European civilians (unless victorian civvies are in another line that I simply missed?)
Title: Re: Colonial Sudan requests
Post by: FierceKitty on 02 January 2020, 03:24:28 AM

We've got the Sudan civilians, would they be much different from the Egyptians?

(https://pendraken.co.uk/_img/products/1542/SC13.jpg)

And then we've got the new British civilians in the Indian Mutiny range:

(https://pendraken.co.uk/_img/products/4810/MUB25.jpg)

Maybe mix and match a bit with the ACW civilians?

Well; I'd like to add my vote to all of the above although I believe a bigger steamer would better be done in laser cut mdf?
If there is still some some room left: Bazinger irregulars would be nice as well as Egyptian infantry in the long Galoubieh smock and with turban/scarf for headwear... asking for Egyptian cuirassiers might be stretching it a bit...? ;-)

Cheers,
Rob

Marching British infantry wearing kilt, a conversion of BW41 British foot, marching would be fine.

I was looking for Gordon in a fez as a depot Arab monarch figure -  a King Farouk type   
Title: Re: Colonial Sudan requests
Post by: FierceKitty on 25 February 2020, 11:28:25 AM
Gordon was a front-line type, not a depot clerky sort.

SORRY - MY TYPO - My despot Arab ruler will be a front line type-  always interfering with his subordinate but competent commanders.  No bad thing as the opposition are not really geared to defence against his T34/85s .   It will all be in the dice.

There's always the Sudan Egyptian officer

(https://pendraken.co.uk/_img/products/1533/SC4.jpg)

or the WW1 British High command with cane (with possibly an added head from an Egyptian type)

Hi Victor - belated happy new year to you!

Thank you very much for the job you do as "scrounger".  If I was ever a POW I would want you in my hut!  :)

Yes, looked at the Egyptian -  I would have to amputate the sword which runs into the fez.  Yeah - might work.  Tunic looks kind of spartan.

I also looked at WW1 Turks - Sevki Bey - but his hat appears to be - fur ?

Best wishes

James

It would be a minority sales figure, I'm sure, but a mounted Victorian lady (side saddle of course) would be a fun addition for scenarios. Right now I'm GMing a Sudan mini campaign, and Sir Percy's...ummm...special friend Lady Priscilla has no figure to represent her. There were historically a number of rebellious women who did their versions of Richard Burton's adventures (there was even a strikingly dull movie about one a few years ago).

Post by: Ace of Spades on 11 May 2020, 11:10:36 AM
don't forget some of the Turks from the Russo-Turkish wars. I added some to my Egyptians; especially the command packs. And some of the Zouave style dressed Turks for the Sudan as well.
for staff officers I got some French 1870 style officers. Reshaping the kepi into a fez should be managable.

Cheers,
Rob

I must admit to not liking the dismounted Camel Corps miniature as well ,I mean why would he be marching and where's the camel ,surely at ready would be a more realistic pose for him .
