Richard P - 28mm 18th Century Sepoys (130 Points)

It's been a bit quiet on the painting front here for a few weeks due to a recurrence of a blood disorder which has completely knocked me for six. However things are returning to normal, well as normal as they can be at the moment, and between the large doses of antibiotics I have managed to finish some of the stuff I had been working on earlier in February. 

First up a force of 18th Century Sepoys that were to be used in a Sharp Practice 2 campaign weekend set in the fictional Indian Ocean island chain of the Woebetides in April 2021 but that has had to be cancelled so it will probably be September before they see the table. Figures are from the Golconda Rising range from Eureka. Nice figures, although some had a ball of metal between the hand holding the musket stock and the body of the miniature which were an absolute nightmare to remove. I eventually decided to disguise them as pouches as I was afraid of damaging the rest of the miniature. 

Good to finally get some more stuff done! So that's 26 x 28mm Figures = 130 Points. 







Another century-plus entry - you guys are treating me well today! I can't see the ball/pouch you mentioned - perhaps the angle you've taken the photos from has hidden it.
