So, continuing with the Beja contingent, I've added two more sword/spear units (each 33 figures); a unit of camel warriors (11 figures - should be 12 figures but I stole a figure to use on a command stand); A command stand (3 figures, including a camel mounted 'Emir'); a Krupp gun with captured/slave crew.
I've photographed them on this hill because someone sent me an email asking why I had used 'cliffs/bluffs'. The reason is clearly shown here: Where two sections join (under the gun) they can join at a cliff/bluff so that the hand cut slopes don't need to match up.
Spear and sword unit #5.
Spear and sword unit #6.
A Krupp gun with captured Egyptian gun crew and Beja guard. I've based this gun on the diagonal because this system will be useful when it comes to British guns that might need to sit at the corner of a brigade square. I'll measure the 90 degree fire arc from the rear corner. Base is 60x60mm.
Beja command stand #4. I stole one of the camel warriors from the camel unit beyond to make this stand.
A unit of camel mounted warriors. I'll need another of these at some point. Bases are 60mmx75mm: the extra depth allows the camels to be staggered for the 'irregular look'.
....next up, the last two units of Beja warriors to empty the lead pile of them. I'm painting them as a batch of 60 figures - they are very easy (if a bit boring) to do!
