Sikh War Project: Beginnings.

There seems to be somewhat of a trend running here, that being that I only seem to post once a year! I really must rectify that.

I've been working quite a few projects over the intervening months, with my main one now being one I started a couple of months ago: The 1st Anglo Sikh War using Black Powder. Just for Mudki (Moodkee) alone, I'll need approximately 13 "British" Infantry regiments, 6 cavalry, and 10 artillery batteries. So I certainly have a long way to go!

I'm using Newline Designs' 1:72 Sikh War range for this project. There are still some figures missing, such a Bengal Light Cavalry, Gurkhas, command for the British Dragoons, but there are enough there to be able to play some games. Plus the prices are great!!!!

First up for the British are some Generals, Her Majesty's 16th Lancers, 50th and 80th Regiments, 24th and 26th Bengal Native Infantry and a battery each of Bengal Horse and Field Artillery:

And then some Sikh Fauj-i-ain and some musket armed irregulars:

I'm slowly adding more as each week passes and hope to have enough for a game done in about 2 or  3 months.

Flintloque / Slaughterloo Odds and Ends

Hi all,

As I've gotten myself into a flow/momentum with my recent Slaughterloo project, I thought I would take the opportunity to get a few odds and sods finished off, and a start made on my Slaughterloo division proper!

First up, Oswald Pebblekettle and the last of my Rifleorcs of the 105th:

The last couple of Rifleorcs of my version of the 60th Valonian Rifles, enabling me to field a full strength unit in Slaughterloo:

Sharke, Harpy, and a couple of other characters from the original box set:

Sharke, Harpy, and Wheeling Turn from the Sharke's Victory box set:

I have also made a start on my division proper. As I'm from a little town outside of Birmingham called Smethwick (which has been around since Doomsday, and historically was a part of Staffordshire, until they created the abomination that is the West Midlands), I thought I would base my Division on the Orcs of Stuffedshire. There are 3 Regiments hailing from my home county, the 38th (1st Stuffedshire), the 64th (2nd Stuffedshire), and the 80th (Stuffedshire Volunteers).

I made a start on the 80th, and just need to get a colour party for the regiment:

And finally, the Officer of the 38th Regiment:

Thanks a lot for looking :-D
