Sudan - Mounted Officers

Despite having to attend the hospital for an entire afternoon and a routine clinic vist this last week I did manage to finish off the six English Mounted officers for my Sudan project.
The six officers are all Perry miniatures and all are British, three regulars and three commanding Egyptian forces.
The three Brits commanding regulars.

Chap in the centre is meant to be General Hicks
They have a mix of British and Egyptian equipment, as is fitting imho.
 I managed at least an hour's painting each  day over the last week , which has meant that the rest of the cavalry is well underway to being completed too and I should have either the Egyptian Lancers or the three Dervish command group figures finished by next week too - 'yay'.

In other news:
Saturday saw my friend take on the wilds of Jimland on Saturday in a very entertaining game, which I'll be posting about sometime in the near future, hospital and Clinic appointments allowing and of course all the other real-life impediments to our hobby not getting in the way either.

Thanks for taking the time to visit and hopefully you'll have found something of interest.

That's it then for this week, as always your comments are both welcomed and truly appreciated.

      Thanks dave, given the limited amount of time I actually can painting (I need natural, bright light) I'm just pleased to get any painting done, but finishing
      anything is really joyous to me.

    1. Thanks Micahel, I'm pleased with how they've turned out - a good wargame standard I reckon and the allied forces now have the commanders they need!
