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.

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.

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.
