Figures from Wargames Foundry.
HUZZAH! I have finished my first Infantry Unit for The Men Who Would be Kings (TMWWBK). As previously mentioned I'm basing my Imperial Chinese Field Force on the Imperial forces that faced the Second Relief Expedition led by General Sir Alfred Gaselee, GCB, GCIE.
Imperial Army lieuntenant with the Qing Dynasty Banner. Banner can be purchased from North Star Military Figures.
The recommend size for Regular and Irregular Infantry units in TMWWBK is 12 figures. I decided that the first unit would look more "traditional" with primarily the classic Manchu hat and uniforms.
Another banner bearer, the commanding officer and a drummer (duh!).
They are ready to repel enemies internal and external.
They really look good, must admit I like those miniatures they are very characterful and you have done a great job on them, lovely looking unit.
ReplyDeleteThanks Donnie. That’s been one of the appeals for me while doing this project.
DeleteI am following your project with interest. Theses troops are looking great. My own figures are for a later period, that of the Pulps and the Warlords
ReplyDeleteI love the Pulp era and I’m thinking of building a Warlord force.
DeleteLovely figures and brushwork! The flags finish them nicely!
ReplyDeleteThanks and I really love flags.
DeleteOutstanding! Great work on the blue and red banner - cutting that and fitting the outlined halves together looks like it'd be a serious test of patience.
ReplyDeleteI cheat and cut out the flag as a rectangle, pre-fold the flag on the banner pole (and carefully) fold the flag together. After it dries I do the fine cutting with my small scissors. The nice thing is is that the flags line up very nicely making the cutting easy.
DeleteVery nice work Neil, I like the flags too!
ReplyDeleteThanks! You can’t beat a good flag!
