A short, but hopefully useful, post for those of you who fancy doing the Sikh Wars in 15mm. Three manufacturers provide the neccissary. Shall we have a look?
QRF carry the old Steve Shaw range. Three command figures, two variants in the rank and file. Lovely sculpts. These were my introduction to the period.
Irregular will do you an officer, a standard bearer and drummer. There are two infantry variants. Advancing and firing. Nice figures and they will work with both QRF and our next offering.
Gladiator. They pushed the boat out. A command group of 5 figures. Khalsa firing two variants, one is loading. Khalsa advancing, three variants. Initially, I didn't much like these. Now I very much do.
I use all three offerings. Irregular will work with either of the other two, even on the same base. In my opinion QRF and Gladiator don't quite make it on the same base. I might consider making an exception of the Gladiator mounted command figure.

There now, job done. Whatever you choose you wll be getting a nice product.
All the figures look great. Which is your favourite?
ReplyDeleteThey all have their charms Ray. For sheer elegance it would have to be the Steve Shaw sculpts. I'll take the opportunity to wish you and the family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteYou've done a great job and they all look super.
