A second Sikh Irregular gun and crew muster off the painting desk. Figures are Wargames Foundry figures from the Sikh Wars range. Still excellent sculpting and molding even after all of these years. Newer figure ranges have nothing over these old Foundry sculpts.
With the addition of this gun, the Natives can field 96 infantry, 24 cavalry, and three guns and crew. Combined with the Russian Expeditionary Force, the British may have their hands full.
Rumblings are being heard from the frontier of increased tensions with small skirmishes breaking out in outposts up and down the frontera. Will the British and Russians come to blows soon? Will punitive expeditions be entertained to silence these increasing skirmishes?
Lovely composition and painting. I like the small footprint.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Norm! Glad you approve!
DeleteVery nice indeed.
ReplyDeleteI am working on some older foundry figures myself at the moment - their old Great War British (which I am, of course, using at Canadians) and they are lovely little models to paint.
Thank you, Tim! For me, Foundry figures never go out of style.
DeleteGreat figures and outstanding painting. Well done.
ReplyDeleteYour support is much appreciated, Mark!
DeleteVery nice looking gun and crew. What a fun period that will be to experiment with.
ReplyDeleteThank you, David! An alt-history project does look like fun. If it doesn't hold my attention, i can always use the Russians for the Crimean War and the Sikhs for, well, the Sikh Wars!
DeleteNice work as always, Jonathan. I like the little bit of green on the one figure to add some variety. You show us again why Foundry figures are the gold standard.
ReplyDeleteWhat rules do you plan on using? I hear a lot of talk about the Men Who Would Be King.
Thanks, Michael! As I noted above Foundry figures do not go out of style. For rules, we have been using a big battle version of TSaTF but I have several other sets I would enjoy giving a try. One of my favorites for colonial wars is Fields of Honor.
DeleteSpectacular and beautiful, I love this one!
ReplyDeleteYou are too kind!
DeleteGreat looking artillery piece Jonathan!

ReplyDeleteMuch appreciated, Mike!
DeleteReally great looking model.
ReplyDeleteMost of the Foundry ranges are oh so nice. This is no exception.
DeleteA very fine looking battery indeed, Jon!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Peter!
DeleteGreat work on these Jonathan Foundry sculpts are the best around for this range.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I agree Foundry figures are excellent.
DeleteGreat looking unit lovely painting and nice sculpts, looking forward to some of your fine aars involving these chaps. Best Iain
ReplyDeleteGlad you approve of the result! As for AARs, I need to get them into a game first! Rumblings are being heard of a game on the 29th.
