Nineteenth Century Mahdist War in 10mm

A while back, a friend had to deal with the estate of a wargamming collegue. Amongst the figures were a selection of 10mm Pendraken Sudan figures, mostly Anglo-Egyptian, some painted, some not.

Extra Anglo-Egyptian forces, quite a few of them.


Starting, of course, with two more units of Sudenese.

Side on


There's something out there


It's getting quite a large force now, but quantity doesn't equal quality (I'm looking at you Comrade Stalin)


An extra unit of Egyptians painted up like the original owner did them


Fire line


Will use them as Turkish or Garrison troops, as opposed to field forces


'Tiz a simple paint job, but I like it!


Bangs


Prussian supplied limbers


Supplied by Leon and team


Do like a limber team, gives an army depth


Escorted teams too


Think of running these in a campaign, so had better get on with the Mahdists


I predict a LOT of camels being ordered and on my painting table soon
 
Another unit of Egyptian infantry, Sudanese infantry and three artillery batteries


It's a lot of shot

Advancing beyond the guns


Pushing on


Ready to fight
As soon as I posted the previous post, I realised that I really should have my units at the same strength in bases as those I inherited, so extra bases done.
Egyptian Cavalry


Looking on


Still waiting


Extra Egyptians and Sudenese units


Gets me four more strength units. Now need to decide how many figures and bases for the Mahdists


Advancing, covered by fire


My view


Ready to go

 

I rebased the originals and added some in later uniforms for the reconquest period. There are more to come, firstly to take my figures up to five base units.

Soldiers of Napoleon - French Imperial Guard vs Austrians - bad day to be a hussar.

Whilst down in Wiltshire for the Devizes comp, Nigel very kindly gifted me his 10mm Imperial Guard division from FOGN (Field of Glory Napoleonics), and although I had rebased the cavalry and generals (including painting some), the guard themselves were not finished. I scrabbled together a 900 Soldiers of Napoleon list (which turns out to be illegal, read the rules Will), and fielded it Vs Mark's undefeated Austrians. My army, including reserves, was twelve units and Mark could basically do that in two brigades! My list : Two brigades of two five Old Guard infantry, with two twelve pounders and full cassions. Guards Heavy cavalry brigade. Five Grenadiers a Chevel. Five Guards Dragoons. Three batteries of 8lber guns. Guards light cavalry brigade. Four Guards lancers, four Guards Chasseurs a Chevel. Three batteries of three 8lber guns. Mark had: An Avent Guard brigade with hussars, artillery, jagers and two infantry units, two dragoons with horse artillery as his cavalry brigade,An in...

The random miniatures in my lead pile thread

Hi all, As the months go on, I am finding more random stuff that does not fit into any catagory is creeping it's way up to the surface of my lead mountain.  I decided a few years back, rather than just throw it back like one of Nobby's escaped socks, I would actually paint some of them   Thought Sharke needed some support, so when I ordered terrain from Alternative Armies, I added a certain Sergeant. He's a BIG unit! Thought it was only a few months back painted Sharke, but I checked back, 10th December 2022!    Claudia the animal handler, Bowie and Marcella the Monster Hunter from Bad Squiddo Back view Side on     Mimic from Bad Squiddo Gribbly Sushi? Catch of the day!   Another Grenadier 1984 from Brian's collection - possible Flesh Golem? Pants! Quick job, ...
