For the Mahdi

A little more progress on my colonial project. First up is 6 more irregulars with rifles to complete a second unit of Nile Arabs for the Mahdists.



I have also made a start on a 3rd unit, this time some Beja warriors. The first 3 warriors are complete. I have another 7 on the painting table, where I'm thinking of adding a little more variation to the clothing.


At some point I will have to decide whether or not to add some suitable tufts to the bases.

On the club front we have a potential move on the cards to a smaller premises, which is cheaper and we have our own lockable room, allowing games to continue over a number of club nights. Just need to see how the rest of the members think.

    I'd definitely add some tufts

  2. Nice work on these and I agree with Peter, a few tufts here and there would enhance the bases

  3. I would think the tufts should be mostly on the tan/brown side "winter", "autumn", with a few greenish ones

  4. Looks like excellent progress to me, especially when you add up the numbers over three posts!
