Can You Hear The Drums?

Ahh, nostalgia! I have great affection for and memories of this mob, my first glossy toy soldier army. (My first 54mm armies, even the  Britain's recasts, that I did in the 90's were all matte and detailed.)

I'm glad now that I listened to the little voice that said "you've done enough damage already, put them aside until you understand what you want and what will be practical going forward."

They are almost ready for battle again. I even went out and bought some Polyfilla (spackle) to use on the bases instead of glue and sawdust. The end finish matches the table top better.

The Faraway Forces.

Only the Queen's Lancers and the General are relatively new additions, four or five years old and in 1870's tunics then. The rest are from 2007/9

Kyuquoit forces.

The Dark Lancers are a hasty repaint of Oberhilse's short lived Lancers, the White coated regulars and most of the irregulars are a few years old but the foreign volunteers including Brigadier Zinn with a new hot weather hat, are from the old days (well, not that old, 2007/9)

I need to finish the basing, add 4 more irregular skirmishers, make a few buildings and I'll be ready for a game.
