Indian Mutiny British Infantry
As a change of pace, 24 Wargames Foundry British hit the painting desk. After participating in one of Kevin's mid-19th century colonial games (Pasha in Egypt), I figured it might be a fun distraction to paint a unit or two for this era. While these figures are listed in the Wargames Foundry catalog as Indian Mutiny British, seeing action during the 1st Afghan War would not be out of reason. Decision on flag to carry is still undetermined but it will be one of the Royal regiments with blue facings. Hopefully, these lads will see action in one of Kevin's upcoming colonial games.

Definitely a shift in eras, but a nice looking unit regardless!
ReplyDeleteNo era shift, just a slight diversion!
DeleteI agree with Gonsalvo, where did these figures come from? :o) from Montcalm & Wolfe Campaign to Indian Mutiny British Infantry! anyway the miniatures look good!

Great looking Brits, I do love the stylish beards!
ReplyDeleteOne day, I'd love to see a shot of your lead mountain. It must be a magnificent sight.
Thanks, Monty! I like the big moustaches and overgrown sideburns on these fellas as well.
DeleteThey do look very cool - sort of "toy soldierish" too.
ReplyDeleteTheir stiff "at attention" posing does suggest a toy soldier presentation, doesn't it?
DeleteYes, but in a very "Classic" way - their Red Coats adding to the nostalgic look.
DeleteWell done! Love the style...
ReplyDeleteThank you, Phil!
DeleteThey do look cool!

Thank you, Christopher!
DeleteGreat work on giving life to these classics Jonathan! Love the detailed painting on the eyes. A very succesful distraction:0) Cheers, sören
ReplyDeleteSoren, thanks for the comment! These Foundry Brits do have the classic look as others have mentioned. I guess I did not think about it much until pointed out. I like the facial expression on these chaps too!
