Ready for action these Connoisseur Fuzzy Wuzzies storm down the slopes! |
"We fought with many men across the seas,
An some of em'was brave and some was not:
The Pathan an'the Zulu an'Burmese:
But the Fuzzy was the finest o' the lot."
After what seemed an eternity I finally managed to get my elf organised and away from other projects to reinvigorate the Sudan collection. This is a constantly moving feast for me with many figures awaiting painting, basing and/or replacing or touching up.
These particular fellows are from the wonderful Peter Gilder designed Connoisseur Sudan range from the shelves of Bicorne Miniatures
The lads en masse |
Though it is very, very easy to recycle them through, I do like to have some massed formations available for games with friends purely for "dramatic effect"!
As always, these are based seven to ten figures a base as originally detailed from Peter Gilder in order to get maximum bang for your buck. No matter how many figures care actually on the base, they still represent 100 men or ten figures.
With such big formations possible in these games, the ability to move 80 figures with the push of only eight bases is a wonderful time saver!
Roughish painting style but effective enough in large numbers |
Never toss out the front door mat if you can help it. It always comes in handy! |
I also will make every effort to start to post a couple of small scenarios to be played through and get some feedback from before the major publication of the Campaign rules and a scenario book later on.
This post is one lifted from my other "Pyjamas through the Desert" blog which is dedicated to the Peter Gilder rules from the WHC which were never published and have now been printed as The Sands of Sudan. Pop over if you would like to have a look.http://withpyjamasthroughthedessert.blogspot.com.au/
Until next time.
Nice work on the rebasing. I also prefer the use of multi-fig bases.
ReplyDeleteThank you Dean - it certainly makes it mch easier to move figures.
DeleteReally nice Carlo, they look great all based up!
ReplyDeleteThanks Paul - it only took a year! How hopeless however I am able to be distracted easily!
DeleteVery good looking wild fuzzy chaps . I don't call that painting "roughish" at all.
ReplyDeleteYou are very kind Chris-,much appreciated.
DeleteBlimey Carlo, I can even see the whites of their eyes.
ReplyDeleteSuperb painting and basing.
Thank you Pat - those lads at DPS did a wonderful job on these figures for me mate.
