A bit of a break from Medievals....lots of red and white colonials...maybe it´s got something to do with having seen lots of people dressed in a similar fashion lately ...yo ho ho.
I´ve been
toying with the idea of making a colonial army for a while now, but got my finger out after seeing these
gatling guns and looking jealosly at
Duncan´s Blog
20mm Colonial Wargaming
This lot are the start of a "colonial" army who are getting ready to put down an insurrection in the Chocolate producing Principality of
Khandihar...led by the incontinent Kailf..
Mustapha leek
The mission has to be successfull, I mean..how will the ladies and gents back home get to sleep without thier mugs of hot chocolate in the evening ???

| The army so far. The 9-Pdr I painted some time ago, but the rest in the last 3 days :-D |
 |
| Any historical similarity to any kilts pattern in existance is purely coincidental :-P |
 |
| The red jackets..?? They look good :-D |

Heliograph and Telescope that come with the Gatling gun set. I´ve based them seperately so they can be used as signallers or spotters for the artillery.

Lovely painting, Paul! You don't half get a lot of painting done. I like the kilts...
