First Batch

These days my patience gets inpatient when I convert and/or paint more than a few figures at a time so I'm going to do the Mamlukes in 3's or maybe in 4's depending on what unit size I settle on. (4 or 6)

Anyway, the first batch of recuits have been hastily converted and are ready for priming and painting.

1 w carbine, 1 blunderboss, 1 sabre.
(All Prince August, 2 Cowboys, 1 SYW Hussar)

I think 24 Mamlukes would be a good goal though18 (3x6) or 20 (5x4) would probably do. These three will bring my total to 9......... still some work to do then.

  3. They're coming along nicely. I would be inclined to look at groups of 12 - gives you 2 6s or 3 4s...

    1. Looks like they'll be mounted 2 to a stand, probably grouped into 6 stand groups. (the single bases were for joining an existing force of such but it is now solo so I'm going for the simplest approach for a multi-player game.
