What I'd like to see:

Another steam paddler, and an Arab dhow or similar.
Fuzzy Wuzzy camelry
Egyptian Camelry
More dismounted Brit Infantry
Fuzzy Wuzzy rifles
Gardner Guns and Nordenfelt guns
Naval crew for the above
Mahdist crew for the above
Egyptian crew for the above


Cheers!

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.

Patience? Bah! I have no time for patience! :D

Camel corps firing would be good too.
Sometimes I wonder - why is that frisbee geting bigger - and then it hits me!

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

Once I painted mine up I really like them.

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)

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
