Typoo's Tribal Horsemen

 I have completed the first unit of irregular tribal cavalry for the army of Typoo Bhyka, the Tygre of Pendawar. The unit comprises three bases of three figures each. Unarmoured horsemen armed with the lance, a wicked talwaar, small dhals and a few with pistols make up the bulk of the unit. They are augmented by some officers wearing mail and helmets. The figures are from Wargames Foundry's Sikh Wars range, venerable figures certainly, but just right to fit into the project I thought. The MDF bases are, as ever, by Warbases while their standard was made by good chum George Anderson ~

The next  to be underway here in GHQ will be Typoo Bhyka himself, together with his standard bearer and hornist, again Foundry figures from the Sikh Wars range. Alongside these three will be his renegade French advisor, Alphonse de Bykli, fifth son of the Comte du Merde, the runt of that litter of military incompetents! He is a Perry Miniatures mounted French colonel from their AWI range. I hope these will be finished over the coming May Bank Holiday weekend, we shall see.
