Sudan collection
Finally got around to taking some photos of the Sudan collection after the El Cid game today. I have yet to play a game as no one seems to have the time for a little jaunt in the desert. The figures are based so that they are able to be used with numerous game systems. I have been looking again at Piquet Field of Battle (FOB), especially the rules for company actions as my collection is based on 10 figure companies (4 bases each). The British figures are all Black Tree Design, I know they are not that accurate for the early Sudan but they are close and they were also cheap. The well painted red companies have been done by Leroy Simpson (thanks mate) as I hate doing red units. The khaki companies have had green stuff trousers added, I have 2 companies to do yet which Nathan Vinson kindly gave me (he always gives me stuff, thanks mate). The lone cavalry base are Black Tree Design figures on Perry ACW plastic horses as the ones provided were s.......t. The Fuzzy Wuzzies and Ansar are mostly Old Glory except for 2 units of Castaway Art figures painted by Nathan. The kneeling camels are made by Gerry Webb of Castaway Arts and are the best camels on the market (I feel). I have a couple of camel trains to paint yet and I need to buy some mounted camel corps figures to put on the camels I have from Gerry (I have 40 Reboubt figures on foot, 4 companies). I hope you enjoy the shots, I have loads of Ansar figures which I haven't taken shots of yet (104 50mm x 50mm bases done and 16 bases to go). Cheers Scott

Scott,
You have a great little collection now Maate. Can not wai to see them on the board at the Brisbane Muster. El-Cid game looked grea too. Not much gaming up this end saving ourselves for the Australia Day weekend.
Cheers
Vinnie
Thanks mate your stuff is looking great as well. I will only be able to do one day at the Easter Muster this year but it will be enough. I wondered are you bringing more stock down this year, some more early Napoleonics would spark some interest I feel (Prussians and French). Talk soon Scott
I am thinking of selling my Successor Pike (176 foot) and 20 Essex Companions, are you (or John) interested?
Scott,
I'm OK for the pike I already have eight pike blocks painted up. I will ask John for you as he may be interested. What price would you be asking for them?
I will be bringing down a lot more figures then last year and will bring down the early ranges for you. Prussian, French Russian etc.
Vinnie
excellent mate, some real nice stuff there
Cheers Matt, are you coming up in the near future or will you do Australia Day weekend at Nathan's. Why don't you come up over the Easter Weeekend and bring the Missus and kids, they can shop and see downtown Brisbane whilst you play games in style at the Chifley at Gerry Webb's convetion. Cheers Scott
Great to see so many figures ready to go. You have some fine armies on this site!
Cheers for that Legatus, are you the person who does the Iron Mitten Blog which has to be one of my all time favourites? I find the whole Blog truly inspiring, and wish I could draw half as good. Cheers Scott
Sorry Legatus checked your Blogs and found that you are the author of some other great sites (but not Iron Mitten). I really like the way you have done your Sudan stuff using Perry Miniatures, I just couldn't afford them (you haven't updated for awhile). Cheers Scott
