Picking up those brushes again.

Hi and welcome to the occasional mutterings of Dave Doc, a military modeller and some time gamer. Gaming and model making has given me a real education, History & Geography(obvious really), Artistry, Politics, Economics, Logistics, Project Management -you try building miniature armies without the last 3.

I will use the blog to record my creations & the odd occasion I actually do some gaming.

I have always been inspired by the aesthetic side of gaming. Playing on well constructed terrain using excellently painted units is always a joy.

Sudan - Thundering Hooves!

I have finished up the remaining mounted troops for the Mahdists that were in the lead pile. This consisted of 12 Baggara Cavalry , and 12 rifle armed Beja camel riders - both lots by Perry. This take the total mounted force to 80 figures altogether  - not far of the original intent of 100. I might go for 50 Baggara , and 75 camels.

All the mounted out for a ride...

the new camel riders

the new Baggara.
The lead pile for the Sudan is steadily shrinking  -  may need a top up!

Next up some Indian army or Sudanese I think..

    You never do things by halves mate! Absolutely glorious. If it were up to me I'd add more Baggara horse.

    Fantastic stuff - I'm still amazed at the pace you can get piles of miniatures this well painted and on the tabletop. I shall try to be inspired instead of despairing :)
