Mutineer Miniatures

Hi,
New additions this week more mutiny figures and a couple of battalions of Crimean Russians here are some shots of the mutiny figs.

Havelock and Sir Colin Campbell.

Mr & Mrs Harris.

Civillans are from Mutineer Minis defenders of Lucknow pack.

Painted by the war office.

I think you would get away with using these for various 19th century conflicts.

The figure to the right is another of those Tag Orthdox priests with a slight conversion painted this morning while I was adding the scenics to the bases.

I think most Christians would have been in danger during this conflict so I don't think hes too out of place.

General pack comes with both foot and mounted figures.

Tantia Topi

Again the command come both foot and mounted.

The Rani of  Jansi.
Thats all for now

The Ridge at Delhi

Hi guys,
Still waiting on the PC repair so on the daughters laptop for these pics,
 I was hoping to show off the new additions painted Samurai from the War Office and Spanish buildings transferred from John Rays collection this will now have to wait until the weekend.
 Here are some pics of the mutiny collection which has been quietly growing over the last couple of months,new Mutineer Miniatures figures to be added next week and more Crimean Russians arriving this weekend so plenty to see in the near future.

Mutineers on Delhi's walls

Loyal Sepoy's but how can you tell!

Surprisingly a large number of native regiments did not mutiny.

The British start to gather the army of retribution for the assault on Delhi.

A scene outside Delhi's walls one of many sorties.

First war of Independence or mutiny who's to say.

Big antique guns brought back into action.

Reinforcements arrive to help with the final assault.

On the ridge.

Great thing with the mutiny is the variety of figures.

Last view from the battlements all figures in these pics by the War Office!

Loads of figures arrived this week unpainted to be forwarded to figure painters one very large box off to James for the Italian war collection and the start of the Napoleonic arriving this week from Perry and Foundry  making they way down to Dave Jarvis next week so stay tuned to see the progress of these.

Barricades in the Mutiny

Hi guys,

First a very warm welcome to all those who have decided to follow this blog, I noticed quite a lot of new faces over the last couple of weeks it is very much appreciated helps keep the motivation going.

If you have seen the end of the previous post you will have seen the start of these battle field accessories. Rendra plastic barrels/ cocktail sticks and lolly sticks used to make impromptu barricades.

I think I will be able to use these for quite a few periods easy to make and cost very little.

I don't think they turned out to bad here is a few shots used with the Mutiny collection.

Sand added to the bases black undercoat to the barrels & timber.

Dry brushed with umber and cream house paint bought mini test pots from B&Q ideal for this.

Small British force behind the barricades.

i based the barricades on some flames of war bases I had spare.

I think all in these took about two hours to make which isn't too bad.

This also gives me an opportunity to show off the mutineer figures the guys with the muskets are new arrivals.

Foundry Brit shoots Mutineer mini.

Another new arrival Nana Sahib bringing up more rebels.

Foundry Old Glory and Mutineer all painted by the War Office.

Foundry limber.

The Mutineer column from the rear.

Not the kind of red coats they were hoping for!

 hope the barricades hold up!

Thanks for having a look.

Mutiny Brits fleeing by river

Hi guy's,
Having read a fair bit about the British in India I think it's fair to say the great mutiny was one of the goriest chapters in our colonial history with many horrors inflicted by both sides. These scenes I think typify that feeling of danger behind every bush which was the case for some and felt by many.

Mutineers spot the Brits on the river foundry figures.

Boat by scheltrum with some perry head swop's and foundry additions.

Passengers scurry away from the jetty as another boat arrives.

Figure's painted by the war office.

Foundry civilians.

Brit's trying to give cover.

Greenry from the last valley.

Terrain tile from TSS croc from foundry.

Scene from the British side of the jetty.

Close up of the boat I have three of these and will add a couple filled with civi's in the future.



Trying to reach the safety of the camp



The war office made a cracking job of the limber.

Birds eye view cut the river into a TSS tile quite simple but messy to do.

End of the siege the storming!

Hi guy's
The last time we visited the Sikh collection was the siege here we have the conclusion with the storming of the city.I would like to take this opportunity to thank the followers and visitors who have dropped by over the last six months,any of you who blog yourself will know that it's that sort of encouragement that keeps you posting.I have tried to leave comments on a number of blogs recently but have been unable to due to a fault with blogger,I know others are having the same problem hope they fix this soon.
Best wishes

Foremost figure is from Mutineer minis with an old glory figure behind,some people don't like mixing manufacturers but I think it looks fine.
