From Ians, 10mm Mahdist, 355points

Hi All last scheduled post of the challenge and something slightly different. I plan well ahead for each challenge and have been collecting and printing figures all year. In July the family went on holiday to visit Hadrians wall and while there i was working on what figures i would need for Haradarim army in 10mm. I decided to get a couple of packs or Madhist from Pendraken and only when my son joined us from Middlesbourgh did i realise that was where they were based. So we decided to pop in to their shop to pick up the figures. The figures were just what i wanted so i asked for loads more packets, the answer was we have no more in stock, followed by if you can wait for 15 minutes we can cast them for you. Now that is customer service. Unfortunately i did not check figure sizes with the ones i was printing and as the Hadarhim army was the last i planned to do for the challenge i was stuck. So i have always fancied armies for the Sudan so i have used the figures for what they were orginal designed for. First up are 8 bases of 5 cavalry figures all pemdraken figures
Next the Ansar foot, they are a mixture of Pendraken and some printed figures from the Henry Tudor Sudan range. 13 bases of melee troops each of 10 figures
4 Bases of Ansar riflemen each 5 figures
Now my favourite units the Beja or if you are a Dads Army fan the often mentioned by corpral Jones as the Fuzzy Wuzzies. 7 Bases of melee troops each 10 figures
3 bases of Beja riflemen each of 5 figures
The army so far
So total points for Madhist 235 x 10mm infantry at 1pt each = 235pts 40 x 10mm cavalry at 3pts each = 120pts Total 355pts

From DaveD . Mahdists - an excellent choice sir . Great to hear of your positive experience at Pendraken . I think I might have made those for you . Lovely work on this lot . You have had a great challenge and all that planning has certainly paid off. 
355 it is
