The Pendawar Fusiliers

 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 ~

    They're a cracking looking unit, make no mistake and nice to see the troops on 'parade' at the end:)

    Looking good David, with the silly names thing one would almost believe you were making up these historical regiments and characters?

    Very 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 !

      Thanks 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!
