… Did they use helmets at all , or were they too "macho men" for that? I'm asking it , since the miniatures for the aussie infantry in the Free Nations book seem to be repurposed Vietnam minis , with Bush hats instead of helmets… |

Does anyone make a 28mm Egyptian Cuirassier suitable for the 19th century? I'd love to have such a unit for my 28mm Egyptian colonial army. |

Gentlefolk! Who couldn't agree that these troops look wonderfully exotic and Romantic, desirable for their "personality" in any Egyptian Army? But there were very few of them--not even a full squadron--with Hicks, and there is no evidence they wore their mail on the march--or even in battle. It was a lovely touch to show them in the film "Khartoum," but I fear the film makers unintentionally put this image into the minds of early figure sculptors, and thence into the popular notion that they were somehow more than an inconsequential detail in the actual events. …And, "Yes!," I had some too!

There are a couple of companies that make 15mm Sikh cuirassiers in 15mm that you could use as Egyptian cuirassiers. Black Hat link but these figures have a musket across their back. Lancashire Games link Good luck. |
