Starting in the Sudan - finally some 10mm!

[Count Belisarius]

Inspired by recent discussion on the Sudan (and reading River War) and by Maenoferren's excellent project I have finally painted some 10mm. Over the years I've bought figures for several projects and never started any thing! On my blog is discussion on base sizes etc. but here are my first samples painted.



Few more pics and basing stuff on my blog: http://blog.belisarius.org.uk/2014/12/on-the-workbench-2.html

Cheers

Anyone know if the Boer War kneeling British are OK for Sudan? I want to do a nice firing line!

Boer War British troops will be wearing puttees.

Would really like to see a pic. They would probably do for the later Sudan. But paint job might work in 10mm.... And kneeling they might be less easy to spot the difference?

And thanks for the kind comments all!

Puttees would be right for Camel Corps. . .

Ever tried putting putees on a camel?

Essential; tie the ankles together before attaching all the other gear, tackle, and trim.

Never one to speed along with projects I've finally returned to the Sudan! The unit started above is STILL not finished but thanks to the ever generous Slugbalancer sending me some of his painted Sudan Brits I've finally for the project moving again!

Martin sent me two batches of his painted Brits. I just applied a wash to them, based them and painted the few extra needed to get them up to my proposed unit strengths.



I know the two lots of Brits.



But this last few days I've been painting up some opposition for them having seen an excellent tutorial on a blog. Full details are on my blog: http://blog.belisarius.org.uk/2017/07/a-warm-fuzzy-wuzzy-feeling.html but I now have some natives painted.





Just need to keep the momentum going!

Great job!

If you plan to dawdle, you need to be doing the first campaign so you can get to Khartoum too late! Let's see some red coats there.

Looking good Andy!

What rules are you using for them?
