Assembled Bullock carts, not sure if they be included in the next or a later batch, will have to see how I go for space 

First coat of first side done on most of the bases for the next batch
I sit the bases on old Humbrol tins so I can paint the edges as well as the side but only have so many old tins. I'll have to do another batch of base painting

6 Bengal Native Infantry Unit commanders
Under Volley & Bayonet the BNI units would not normally have unit commanders to reflect their historically reduced tactical flexibility.  tactical flexibility is required.

Cracking work once again Paul .

Looking good!
  

Another great looking set of units. I do like the look you have for these troops - I think its a combination of the painting, the formations, the labels and the basing. All come together to give a great end result. 

Ohh very nice indeed

Very nice indeed. When do you anticipate these will get their first game?

Not sure when they will get their first game

First, I need the weather to settle enough so I can get them varnished

Next, I need to find a slot in our regular groups schedule, I'm guessing late October or early November

That should give me enough time to add some more Indian cavalry and some undrilled troops; Nowabie, Zemindars, Badmash & Levies

Have you tried brush on varnish? It's quick to apply, gets better coverage than spray on, and you can use it year-round (so when it's -30 outside in winter, or 40 and humid in summer, here in Toronto).

I know it works well for some people, but I've had trouble with brush on varnish in the past:

• clouding
• reactivating the PVA and dislodging flock during brush on

Finished painting most of the bases for the next batch

Started painting the rest of the bases for the next batch, plus a few extras

Base coated the horses, bullocks and carts of the next batch

Always good to see a project progressing quickly!
