NWF/BoB - Afghan tribesmen

 I have been doing a bit of commission painting recently- mostly 10mm Naps , so it’s been nice to have a few days to do some bits for myself. I picked up some Old Glory North West Frontier stuff a few years ago so I am chipping away at it to add the collection . This time another 26 tribesmen. The OG figs  have lovely lot  of life to them. 

I started with a straight white base coat and then it’s various shades of light brown , a VJ flesh colour was also used . Didn’t take to long to knock em out .

This takes me to 50 foot figures and 10 mounted . I have a few more to add over the winter 

This is the current army of the “Lion of Khulm” - Martins rebellious province 😁

Back of Beyond - Forces for the Lion of Khulm

 I needed to do some Afghan types for some up coming  campaign games to bolster the other guys collections . In the lead pile I have about a 100 Old Glory Pathans , so I have pushed some through . As ever with OG figures they look a bit meh in the base metal l,but come to life with paint .

I went with white undercoat and used some Vallejo Xpress paints . They did a job and will do for now ,though I think I need to revisit the colour palette for the rest of them .

Sudan - Egyptian Camel Corps

I have completed one of the more oddball units for the collection this week - the Egyptian Camel Corps. It was first raised as an irregular unit in 1883 and served throughout the period.

The figures are by Old Glory - and have a lot of character - even if they have the odd unusual pose to them .

There are 24 mounted , 24 dismounted in close order and 6 skirmishing . I also completed 3 Perry mounted Egyptian commanders as I have a number of the Egyptian army battalions to be painted soon

Overall very pleased how these came out. - and another large unit completed.
