Another week and the sense of unease increases. Luckily we have bought a lot of stuff, with reinforcements also being sent for
1st up the 60th rifles in their distinctive green uniforms
Continuing the units not in redcoats. The Naval Brigade
With the artillery in need of transport there are 6 limbers, ordered some more drivers - oddly the best figures for this are WW2 german wagon drivers. I also need to paint the artillery
All armies need supplies and mine has 10 ox carts, more drivers needed. Never make 200 individual meanie bags and glue them in the back of 10 wagons. Just a tip for sanity
The most unusual units were the rocket batteries and mule pack horses
3 gatling guns
Finally 5 hippos to disrupt river crossings
Scores on the doors
16 x 10mm vehicles = 96
61 x 10mm infantry = 61
9 x 10mm crewed guns = 29
24 x 10mm gun crew = 24
12 pack mules = 12
5 hippos = 5
Total = 203
TeemuL: I'll take your sanity tip and try to remember it! Your maths a bit off, I get 225 in total, which puts you nicely over your target. The question remains, two weeks left, how much more you will get?
These look great again, and hippos are a nice addition. I heard the Zulus are getting stronger and stronger, the British are happy to see some much needed reinforcements and equipments.
Great work again. I very much anticipate a photo of all these forces and all the extras. Well done.
ReplyDeleteCheers
DeleteWonderful additions. Love the hippos
ReplyDeleteCareful what you wish for - he picked up a Rhino today!
DeleteThanks, yes to the rhino today.
DeleteCheers Teemu. Not going to finish them all, but will be close. Will get them all out for a photo before the 3n
ReplyDeleteLoving this project Martin. Really like seeing that you’ve included transport and livestock.
ReplyDeleteCheers, me too. All the weird stuff adds to the fun, and chaos
DeleteSome excellent looking figures Martin.
ReplyDeleteCheer
DeleteSome great work Martin
ReplyDeleteBrilliant work Martin. You've sent me off to the Pendraken site to get some of those bullock carts (at a minimum) for my Sudan project.
ReplyDeleteThese are great Martin, I cannot wait to see the final Challenge shots with the whole force arrayed on one table, it will look glorious for sure!
ReplyDeleteGood work, love the hippos!
