Group shot and last 3 (for now)

Well as "promised" here are the latest Burpas.
 Just 3 extras finished and they will be returned to Matt on Sunday.

The figures are of course Foundry 28mm and have been painted by me to represent cavalry of the North West Frontier. While they are thought to be of the Victorian period they could be earlier, First Anglo Afghan war or much later up to 1930's back of beyond. I am sure they could be used later than that as well given the right game and scenario. They would work in Indiana Jones games so up to WW2, beyond that you may be pushing credibility a little but that is what we as wargamers do at times.


 We  can see these three are all sword armed with the middle one probably being a leader due to the amount of armour being worn. And that is why I gave him a black shield as I knew I was not going to give very many a black shield so it is just another way to try to make him stand out. It may or may not work, only time will tell.

 The Last 3 pictures show these 10 all together. hard to get them all in focus at one time so you may need to use your imagination somewhat. I would hope that these and the previous painted figures might get an outing reasonably soon as a unit. Perhaps in the men who would be kings. But as for when I cannot say as the are Matts figures and not mine.















Thanks for looking to day and a big thanks to the good kind hearted bloggers who have joined with me to create a group submission for the AHPC this year.

A sunny day today so I will be out in the garden planting Onions later on.

All the best Clint

    It's not just the armour thant makes the 'leader' type stand out, but those fetehrs too!
    This last lot will fit nicely with the others as your group shot shows.
    Matt is one lucky guy!

      Thanks Joe, yes the feathers and maybe even the vivid colours of the clothing might also suggest a leader of some degree.

    Excellent work Clint, and a terrific group shot too - I love the guy flourishing his scimitar and staring into the camera at the same time [bet that scared the photographer!!] ;-)

    Looking forward to working with you on the AHPC too!!

      Thanks Matt. The veg patch has been well dug for a few weeks blood and bone has been added as well so they should be a good crop (famous last words). You can even plant up to Christmas so get out and give the garden a good dig this weekend.
