The third infantry battalion to join the Army of the Pendawar Presidency is the European battalion, the Pendawar Fusiliers. The figures are from Perry Miniatures of course, as are the MDF bases from Warbases. The flags were made for me to my specifications by good chum George Anderson. These complete what will be the army's second brigade of infantry, supported by No1 Battery of the E.I.C. Foot Artillery. The Brigade is commanded by Colonel Crump, a doughty servant of the Company over many years ~
I plan to switch now to painting some artillery and infantry for Typoo Bhyka's army which I hope will provide some light painting relief after the discipline of all the uniforms. Well, I can but hope...! In the meantime here's the whole Brigade laid out on the table in GHQ ~
Nice flags!

DeleteA beautiful unit...with a gorgeous hat, looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for the encouragement Phil.
DeleteVery fine Sir, a splendid array.
ReplyDeleteWill they do though I ask?
DeleteThey're a cracking looking unit, make no mistake and nice to see the troops on 'parade' at the end:)
ReplyDeleteThank you SteveJ, that's most kind.
DeleteLooking good David, with the silly names thing one would almost believe you were making up these historical regiments and characters?
ReplyDeleteThanks Robbie! That's reminded me, I forgot to mention Captain Roddis of the No1 Battery, E.I.C. Foot Artillery.
DeleteThis is coming along quickly. Well done!!!
ReplyDeleteStrange to say John it appears anything but quickly to me.👳🏽♂️
DeleteThese look very smart!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jonathan, I'll take that!
DeleteVery nice, looking forward to seeing the 'baddies'.
ReplyDeleteThanks George! I've put paint on the first gun and crew for Typoo Bhyka's army this morning.
DeleteVery nice David, clean new uniforms as they march out of the barracks I do wonder given the climate and dust how long they would have stayed white !
ReplyDeleteThanks Matt! Not a fan of the campaign look myself on the whole even though I tend to agree with your statement. But, only toys in a game so let's not worry overmuch. Anyway, I'm sure Col Crump is a stickler for the chaps' turnout, impress the natives you know!
DeleteThey look superb, and by all means, chaps, let us wear full dress when meeting the enemy!
ReplyDeleteStandards must be kept up of course, benefits of civilization and all that! Glad you liked them though Gonsalvo.
DeleteThese are all great David...it's a very attractive era to game in.
