Any good books/ web pages for painting Afghan Pathan Tribes and Regular army for NWF Campaigns? Thanks! |

Osprey has a book for that. #219 – Queen Victoria's Enemies (3): India. Also, check Foundry web store for well painted minis. |

And the old Foundry "Victoriana" catalog: selection of images which are the same as in the online store, but with brief notes. Allen |

Mostly grays, off whites, browns and tans. A bit of colour in sashes and turbans. Maliks and khans would have more colourful coats and pants. |

Thanks guys. Picked up Queen Victorias Enemies #3 and North West Frontier 1837-1947 from Osprey. |

In addition to the whites and off whites,
Afridis wore blue angarkas (a long, loose robe)
Waziris wore dark brick red or dark blue turbans and lungis (cloth worn as a sash, turban or over the shoulder)
The Bunerwals (subdivision of the Yusafzai) wore blue and black
Orakzais wore pearl gray robes, rather than white
Mohmands often wore faded blue turbans
Mamunds--another tribe that often wore blue angarkas
That should help to differentiate different tribes
