The Tyger's Blood

 The second of the three planned regiments of regular infantry for Typoo Bhyka's army are the Tyger's Blood Regiment. All the figures are from Wargames Foundry, in the Tribal Warriors packs from the Sikh Wars range. As a contrast with the first regiment these are armed with talwaar and dhal. I chose one pack in advancing pose and one in charging pose just for a bit of variety. The command figures are three of the six from the Tribal Warriors Command pack. As is usual, the bases are from Warbases and measure 40x50mm ~

The third infantry regiment in the Brigade of regular infantry, the Tyger's Eye, are in a mix of firing and standing ready poses, again from the Tribal Warriors packs from the Wargames Foundry Sikh Wars range. At present that will conclude the infantry additions to the Army of Typoo Bhyka and I can move on to the cavalry additions. Horses! Dozens of them! Oh joy, oh rapture...not!

  4. What an eye catching unit, the balance between the red and white is strangely perfect.

    1. That's very kind Norm, thank you. The white is Foundry Boneyard Light over Arctic Grey Shade. I find it gives a less in your face look more suited to clothing, although I do sometimes use the White for officers.
