From SanderS - 29th Deccan Horse (80 Points)

During the Christmas days I have finished the first entry for my side duel with Ben from Monsieur le Rosbif and Johnny Frog. While the both of us have the Napoleonic Wars as our main focal point, I am known to dabble in other periods and for this contribution I chose one of the new sets from HäT which is of 1:72 plastic Bengal Lancers. I have painted up 4 testfigures in colours of regiments I liked and decided to go with the 29th Deccan Horse.





This contribution should be worth 80 points seeing that it features 10 figures each worth 8 points each.

For my next contribution in this challenge, I will return to Napoleonics fore I am busy on 3 Prussian gun crews.

Cheers Sander

From Curt:Cracking work Sander! It's a good year for Bengal lancers and these certainly don't disappoint. The green uniform with the yellow and blue turban is very eye catching - wonderful stuff. Now we have to see what Ben comes back with as you two race to your 200 point duel...  
Note: Sander, If possible, please come back and put up a closer detail shot of a couple of these lads as I'm sure I'm not alone in wanting to get a better look at them.

  8. Cheers Gents! I know I should make better pics and indeed some close-ups, yet my skills with the camera are a little less developed than I should like.

    3 more regiments are in the works and I hope to finish them before the end of the Challenge.

  10. Great work! The Indian military is always a cracking subject to model and paint.
