From DaveD - Sudan , Kordofani and commanders - 400 pts


One of the supposed projects for this challenge was the Sudan Nile tribes for a commission job , these have been a bit of a background project . I have completed the guns for this lot earlier in the challenge . This lot makes up a lot of the command and skirmishers . 

They are based as open loose skirmishers with captured rifles and then as a closer mob style but various size of bases - the bigger the base more men obviously . Plus 3 mounted emirs . 





These are all Perry stuff a mix of plastics and metals , the flags from The Armchair General 


I had wanted to get the other half  done shown below  - but I guess that’s next weeks job ! Bolsheviks kind of got in the way 😁

I’m not finished yet posts on the production line. 

74 foot - 370pts  . 

3 mounted - 30pts . 

Those Dervish hordes look like they mean business Dave, great work here.  The mass of foot is effective, I like the variable base sizes.  I can't get a close look at most, but that command stand is mighty fine indeed.  I'll look forward to Bolshie hordes to follow.

  3. Very nice indeed - I like the variable basing as a way of distinguishing between the different troops.
