Anglo-Danish Warlord

I saw this Gripping Beast model on eBay and decided to paint it for fun.  Nicely sculpted, no flash and no visible mold lines.  It is a high quality figure.

Warlord Games Metal Faschirmjagers

I have now painted Black Tree and the plastic Warlord Games Faschirmjagers.  I have not tried Artizan Designs yet but so far my favorite figures are the metal sculpts from Warlord Games.  Here is their Faschirmjager squad blister pack:

More Sikhs

If it is not apparent by now, I love the range of figures for the 2nd Afghan War from Artizan Designs.  Here is my second unit of Sikhs; this time with Sikh officers.

Devils in Skirts

Khasi of Khalabar: They think they're so powerful with their... st-starched uniforms and their... stiff upper-lips, and their dirty big flags hanging out! They think they OWN THE PLACE!!

Bungdit Din: [flatly] They do. 

 One can never have enough of the "Devils in Skirts!"
