From GregB - More Afghan Regulars (60 points)

Another unit of 28mm Afghan regulars for the late 19th century - metal castings from Perry Miniatures.

As we get down to the short strokes on the clock, I have one more unit of 28mm Afghan Regulars for my Second Anglo-Afghan War project. These are metal castings from Perry Miniatures, sporting different head coverings from the last group. As with the previous such entry, this group is meant to represent a unit of infantry in the Osprey game "The Men Who Would Be Kings".

Opted for Khaki colours on these lads...

Some different head wear to capture the variety to be found among the Afghan forces of the period.

I opted for more of khaki look for this unit - still a bit of colour on the red facings and straps, but on balance not as bright as the previous unit of regulars. This choice was made in part to create some variety, but I also wanted to practice painting khaki tones so I could come up with a paint "recipe" that I like when the time comes to paint some of the British units.

Officer and musician to rally the troops!

So that makes four units for the Afghan side of this project - still not a complete force, but getting close. Not bad for a new project started from scratch!

A couple of the riflemen.

Afghan regulars ready to resist the British!

So, for points, we have another 12 different 28mm figures, which should be good for 60 points. Thanks for reading, and good luck to everyone in these last few hours of AHPC XIV. Thanks!

Terrific work on these reinforcements to your Afghan Regulars, Greg! Your khaki recipe for these fellas looks pretty darn solid to me, especially with that vibrant red accent with the cuffs, sash and shoulder boards. Very sharp. I look forward to hearing what you think of the rules once you have enough of these lads (and the Brits) ready for a game. Lovely stuff my friend!
