Colonial Sudanese. (Part 1)

With the weather good and it being nice and light in the morning I have made good progress.

I started these 12 Sunday night.
As I am sure you realise they are Sudanese infantry of the colonial period or Victorian if you prefer. I believe the figures are Wargames foundry and are 28mm in size.

2 different main poses today, marching and firing. But a couple of variations in each pose. Little things that are not noticed at first. Things like the tassel being in a different place. So if you thought they were all the same 2 poses you are forgiven.

Yes they are painted for Matt and will fit into his colonial armies. I painted the white trousers cream instead of grey as I feel it best suits the desert and the grey contrasts more. As always there are more to do.

Another 10 are currently in prep and they will be undercoated today as well, giving me a fresh start tomorrow.

The last pic shows them all together (so far) and is at this stage as close as I can get to a group shot.

I will do another group shot next time and when I finish the flag bearers as well I will show all 24 figures. But for now just 12 finished.

  2. Oh wow, Clint. One of your best posts imho. They are fantastically painted and based, and the group shot is breath-taking. Marvellous brushwork :-)
