For the Mahdi

I eventually got around to sorting out the first of my Mahdist force. I don't have any completed units yet as I'm just putting them together 1 sprue at a time. I've also gone with an idea I had based on the 3-2-1 basing for irregular troops. Instead of circular bases I went for more irregular shapes. A bit of a pain creating them, but meet my needs.

First up is some tribal warriors, all Perry plastic miniatures.



Just another 6 to add. I went for a mix of cream and white for the clothing. The second batch is the start of some musket armed troops. These are a mix of Perry and 2 Darkest Africa figures from Foundry.




Pretty happy with how they turned out. Kept to a simple paint scheme as it is how they look as a mass that works for me. Just another 78 to go

      I recently picked up those rules with an eye toward using them for the Spanish-American War.
