Full speed
Massed camelry
If camels can mass
Mobile but not great fighters
Get in there!

Four British mounted officers to use as Brigadiers in Black Powder
Think they would do better on their own?
Study in horse flesh
One for the Thelwell fans
Since I bought the Warlord Games Black Powder suppliment, and it came with free Colonel Brumby, he had to be done!

First Mahdist units done. Had a lot of fun researching these, composing units and painting them.
Most units will be designed to be used by all tribal groups, so you will see some of each figures in each unit, but there will be some specialised units.
Three Hadendoa/Fuzzy (etc) units
Top view
A lot deeper than the European regular troops, on purpose, to make them more hoard-y
And going the other way
Ansar units (think central government units, without centralisation, maybe). Shooter unit and turbaned unit.
Top view of these.
Packing shot
Had a lot of fun with the flags
Big guns - not quite, but the idea was there. Artillery will come, I'm sure.
Final unit of this batch and generals
Sneaky sneaky
Blending in a bit?
Get 'em!

Mahdist cavalry and camalry next, then British units.

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

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.

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.
The batch I painted
Top down on the full patrol
