The plan is to have the entire project finished by November this year ready to begin a series of campaign games as detailed in the book. The rules I will be using are Blitzkrieg Commander IV from Pendraken Miniatures.
First two units complete are both Iraqi Police using the 10mm Pendraken British from their Colonial Zulu War Range as a proxy as suggested in the Guide. A total of 18 bases (16 rifles and 2 HQ) giving a total of 54 miniatures.
What a unique little project! That region of the world has certainly seen its share of challenges, but yours will be quite a different take on it to what we usually associate with Iraq.
54 figs for points points Sir!
Wow, as Paul says, what an absolutely unique project and great painting too. This is a campaign I know almost nothing about, so I look forward to seeing more entries in the future.
ReplyDeleteThanks Curt, it's a really interesting project and a great way to use some of the more unusual ranges by Pendraken (Colonial, WW1, WW2 etc)
DeleteThat's certainly an unusual project - great work Richard :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Tamsin :-)
DeleteVery cool - as others have noted, very unique and original. Plus top-shelf brushwork on 10mm - lovely stuff. Pendraken is fantastic, and you do those little castings justice!
ReplyDeleteThanks Greg that's very kind :-)
DeleteToo small for my aged eyes - that's why I stand in awe of anyone who can make a go of the smaller scale figs. lovely work!
ReplyDeleteThanks Evan :-)
DeleteSuper work on your teeny tiny coppers!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks Iain :-)
DeleteWow great to see this campaign getting gamed, I’ve been tempted myself. I do hope you’ve got some vintage interwar air support in this pipes, from what I understand it was the reasons that the rebellion failed.
ReplyDeleteOh yes there is the opportunity for all sorts of weird and wonderful in this project :-)
DeleteImpressive!
ReplyDeleteThanks :-)
