A quick update today, with a small batch of Beja finished over the last week. A bigger batch would have been more efficient, but these were all ready to go a week ago. This puts the 'Mahdist count' at 39 - I'll take a group shot at some point.
I've another larger group that I prepped at the same time and are just ready to be started. Once they're finished, I should have broken the back of the initial Mahdist forces, which will be a relief!
Update:
I didn't think these merited a post of their own, but It feels worth marking the end of my recent rebasing. These Beja camelry are now on 'pill' bases rather than the square ones before (cut with a saw, no less).
I did quite a lot of damage as I was rebasing them as I took the opportunity to pin them onto the camels (heaven knows why I didn't do that in the first place!). So a lot of tidying was required and I also tweaked a few of the colours to make them match my more recent Mahdists.
Perhaps there is something in the air at the moment as Mr Awdry has also been rebasing old work.
THey really look good.

Cheers Seb!
DeleteAnother cracking job, which reminds me that I've still got a dozen or so of these lurking somewhere!
ReplyDeleteOnly a dozen Mr Awdry?
DeleteWell maybe a couple more, but now I want camels! These are gorgeous Sir - oh dear I can feel a visit to the Perry website coming on.
DeleteAhh I know the feeling. Every time I take a look I find new bits that I'd like. I should perhaps just buy the whole range!
DeleteLooks good although I am a little worried about the long term game play on these sculpts after losing a number of spears and rifles in transport and game play.

Interesting, the only one I've lost is a bent standard, which I was going to replace with a wire one anyway.
DeleteThe paint jobs are more durable, being plastic though.
Luverly camels Phil. You can almost sense them getting ready to spit...
ReplyDeleteIndeed, but perhaps it's the riders one really needs to be wary of...
