Switched to some Colonial Sudan figures for some variety and while I waited for some more WWI Austrians and Russians from Dave at Pendraken. I am working on a Khartoum game with what I normally use, a hex battlefield with 3 inch hexes. The steamer was designed to fit that size. The Dervish figures painted up nicely though the pictures do not reflect it. I used a earth colored undercoat and two drybrush coats of white (for the Ansar) and bleach bone (for the Beja/Fuzzies). I used the NW Afghans for cavalry with a few mixed in Arabs from the Dark Age range (all Pendraken). I am working on some Egyptian cavalry lancers which will need to be a conversion since Pendraken does not make them. Fortunately, I only need one unit for my Khartoum game. Currently, working on the Khartoum fort and some Dervish vessels for ferrying troops to land in the rear of Khartoum. Lots of fun and great 10mm figures from Dave make this any easy range to work with in this scale. I wish the Dervishes had a few more poses and some Fuzzy rifles but maybe I can get more creative with some conversions. The standard bearer was an easy conversion to a Fuzzy, just a head swap.
