Here we have the arrival of the last major cavalry unit for the imperial forces - the 10th Hussars. These are my old favourite 28mm Connoisseur Miniatures on a mix of various manufactures horses. The 10th had more grey horses when first deployed so I have added in more than usual. They provide a nice contrast to the 19th as these have khaki tunic and blue pants with yellow belts. One figure had a spot of casting trouble with the right arm and I have remade that with the soldering iron and added a pistol into his hand as if firing the starting pistol. 24x28mm Cavalry
So that gives me the 9th Bengal Lancers,19th Hussars and 10th Hussars, so i thought you might like a group shop.
That leaves a small 12 figure unit of Egytian Lancers and a company of 6 figures of Mounted Infantry left to finish all the mounted elements.
I have also just topped-up the Mounted Mahdists lead pile as they head toward their final total of 100 camel...... now has anyone seen the Mahdi...
Beautiful work Mr. D! It's wonderful to see 'The Chainy 10th' (their nickname due to their unique chainmail epaulets) getting some love. The brigade shot is terrific - you can't argue with the majesty of that mob.
As we can all see Dave has begun the saturation bombing in earnest now as I see we still have two more entries of his on the horizon. 240 points with another added for the starting pistol. Magnifique ! :)
Not bad at all mate. I'd let them play on my table any day of the week. :-)
