Finally started solo play testing an attack on Khartoum's defenses by the army of Mohamed Ahmed, The Mahdi. Here are a few pics of the Dervish host, which is a mix of Mikes Models and Gallia miniatures. I resorted to movement trays to facilitate movement but as the attackers reach the sand berm I'll remove them from the trays. link |

Looks good. What rules are you using? |

Thanks, guys. Rhingyll, I'm using The Men Who Would Be King. Razuse, the trays are plastic Petri dishes. Very cheap. I made about 30 trays for less than $20 USD, including the spray paint. I already had tons of flock. The lips around the dishes are taller than I'd like but overall, and for the cost, I'm pleased with 'em. |

I always love seeing your photos, Ragbones. The Mike's Models/Gallia figures are absolutely charming (I almost said "cute," but wouldn't want to offend them) – there's real personality to those old figures. As ever, your table looks splendid, and the movement trays are brilliant. Great solution to a problem we all face. |
