ClintB: 28mm Mahdi Cavalry (100 Points)

Yes this is entry 2 for today. I just might get one more done. Here we have 10 28mm Perry Miniatures Cavalry for the forces of the expected one! I hope to have a couple more of these done for the bonus round but if not next week.

Even the Mahdi needs cavalry to fight the Egyptians and here are the first batch of 10. As you would hope from Perry miniatures they are all very different and packed full of character. Indeed you could make a backstory for each one if you chose.

So closer up we start with some leaders.

While I do not see these as war leaders but they could easily be religious leaders. In fact the one on the right is not even armed while the one on the left carries a sword but perhaps that's more a badge of rank.

The 4 Regular Cavalry.

They are all armed, come with rifles and some with swords and a couple have both! Some have the recognisable patches as they were sculpted on while others do not. Most of these cavalry are also armed with 3-5 Javelins including the ones with guns. After-all there is no such thing as too many weapons!

Another 4 more Cavalry.

Hopefully you can see these are another separate 4 horseman. Again they have a variety of weapons, both swords and guns but with no Patches this time. I have kept the bases very simple just desert with a tuft or two on the cavalry slotta base.

Right that's entry 2 so now just have to finish entry 3 within the next 18 hours or they will go in the following week!

From Curt:Whoa, beautiful work Clint! I like the mottled pattern you did on the side of the bases and the backdrop you've used for your photos is brilliant. I really look forward to seeing this project develop further over the next few months. Bring on the Mahdi hordes!
