A Few Moderns

Image
Here's some pics that have been sitting on my pc for ages. I took the last 2 on my phone. A British patrol gets ambushed. Figures by Revell and Ceaser miniatures. An "In-Game" shot, showing my hidden units. Their locations were noted on a secret map and they were only revealed when they opened fire or when a British unit passed close enough by them. It was a good game with the British wiping out 75% of the insurgents but also losing 2 landrovers a few men and the town minaret got destroyed. Some JB models m113acav's. Lightly converted to be used as multi-purpose APCs.

Egyptians and Russians

Image
Waterloo 1815 Egyptian Army Infantry with a Hat Anzac officer. A little larger than most 1/72 but nice figures. Strelets Cossack infantry and some Grenadiers. These figures are actually from their Crimean war range, so they're a little too early really but they look the part and are great figures. They'd also be good for any "Great Game" scenarios across central Asia or maybe a Russian invasion of India (Flashman and the charge scenario?).

The "Natives"

Image
Waterloo 1815 Dervish infantry, mix nicely with some of the figs from the old ESCI set, now renamed Arab Infantry from Italeri. A Ghazi cavalry rider from Jacklex. Hat Bedouin and Italeri Arab warrior with a French ww1 infantry rifle. Redbox Afghans and ESCI Muslim Warriors. Some more Redbox Afghans.

Indian Army and Naval Brigade Artillery

Image
My Indian Army pics. Made up of very old Esci Indian figures with an Injured strellets British Infantryman painted up as an Indian soldier. The NCO is by Jacklex reproduced by Spencer Smith Miniatures. Strelets Bengal Lancers, come with too few actual lances for my liking but still very good figures full of character. My Naval (or American) artillery unit, armed with an Airfix RHA quickfirer. The figures are converted from an Atlantic Goldrush set.
