Bengal Lancers at the ready

Two squadron's await orders in a game played last year.


One of my all time favourite units in the collection has to be this unit of Bengal Lancers.  Beautifully designed sculpts from Peter Gilder, they still maintain the character and details within their poses and faces despite having been first made nearly forty years ago.


This particular unit was painted for me by Gerry Web of Castaway Arts fame many ,many years ago.


The Captain signals the advance. Lovely Connoisseur Miniatures available through Bicorne in the UK


Apologies for the delay in posts this year as the other blog has been a bit more active with Napoleonic's and WW2 action.


I promise that this Sudan blog will be re-entering the fray with more campaign updates and some new models relating to the railways during the campaign.

      Cheers Dave and btw, I think your Naval Brigade is simply sensational. Those towed guns bring line hauled by the lads is outstanding!

    Carlo,

    Another wonderful addition to a magnificent collection. I agree some of PG sculpts are timeless.
    Regards

      Thank you very much John and I’m pleased that we both agree on those Peter Gilder specials within this range. One wonders what he might have been able to craft out with today’s technology.

    I do like those! They're one of those units that add tone to the battlefield.

      I think you’ve summed it up perfectly AJ. You see these lancers on the table and you are pretty certain your can only be in two places - the Sudan or the North West Frontier.

    Beautiful figures indeed Carlo and greAt units. My bengal lancers have seen many a battlefield from the Sudan to the NWF.
