The Tyger's Claw

 The first of three regular infantry regiments, the Tyger's Claw Regiment, ready to join the army of Typoo Bhyka. The figures are from Foundry Miniatures and the flag was made for me by chum George Anderson from a design I found on the web. The colour scheme is deliberately unfusy, mostly Foundry Boneyard light over Arctic Grey shade with turbans in Foundry Ochre. As ever, the MDF 40x50mm bases are from Warbases and the basing materials are from the remains of my Mutiny basing mixture. There may be enough for the other two Regular Regiments, but it will be close ~

 Hopefully they and their sister regiments will pop on the tabletop all sporting identical clothing shades but with vibrant coloured turbans ~

Next unit up will be the second regular infantry regiment, the Tyger's Blood Regiment, again by Foundry Miniatures but these armed with talwaar/sword and dhal/shield and sporting vibrant red turbans. In the meantime I'm also working on a three figure command base to lead the Regular Brigade in Typoo Bhyka's army.

    1. Thanks for the kind comment m'lord! The canons are very good I agree. The basing material is fine dust bulked out with some Woodlands Scenics fine buff ballast and little pebbles.

    1. You are right there Aly, but it's less of a chore since I abandoned the three layers for just shade and highlight. Foundry Arctic Grey shade followed by Boneyard Light.
