Connoisseur Bengal Lancers. These were painted for me many years ago by the clever Gerry Webb from Castaway Arts |
As you can see all the figures are from the Connoisseur Sudan range from Bicorne Miniatures. Some of the horses still need to be replaced as they are still Old Glory figures from the old days when it was hard to get your hands on the originals. These will be replaced in coming months.
Carlo,
ReplyDeleteclassic figures and they still look damned good and the business.!
Thanks Graham - I do love those Connoisseur figures mate. Very much looking forward to seeing your 15mm armies though - Peter Pig??
DeleteCarlo,
DeleteMainly PP although my Bengal Lancers and Indian foot are Blue Moon. My friend also gave me a bit of a horde of two dragon miniatures which I think are now o.o.p. Not keen on the regulars but some nice Ansar so I'm basing these ready for painting - another 15 or so bases :)
Looking forward to seeing them march out to take on the Mahdi!
DeleteGrand stuff...got to love a nice big unit of lancers
ReplyDeleteThanks Dave - they look the business en masse that's for sure.
DeleteAmazing stuff and on such a grand scale!
ReplyDeleteLove 'em!!
Darrell.
thanks Darrell and thanks for your kind words. The scale is just perfect for this old chap! Love the big units.
DeleteThese lancers are splendid, great job!
ReplyDeleteCheers Phil - they are such lovely sculpts that have truly stood the test of time.
DeleteSplendid indeed!
ReplyDeleteThanks AJ - I am hoping to eventually replace the Old a Glory horses with Connoisseur horses this year, especially if James at Connoisseur starts casting up the horses which Peter Gilder made moulds for years ago but have lain dormant for a decade.
DeleteGorgeous work Carlo. Everything about them is just wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Millsy. They are a favourite unit of mine and hey do tend to get a run in most games we play because if it. Very exotic unit that everyone recognises.
DeleteEverybody needs at least one unit of Bengal Lancers! Superb looking unit.
ReplyDeleteThanks Matt. They certainly look hood battling the brave Hadendowah in the field of battle. Agree with your thoughts on everyone should have a unit, no matter what the theatre.
ReplyDeleteI love these guys and I have just ordered another pack from Old Glory Miniatures. Champion stuff Carlo keep them coming.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nathan - they are great figures and the Old Glory range is excellent.
DeleteLovely painted figures for a great period.
ReplyDeleteThanks Pat - greatly appreciated mate.
