I have no Gurkhas. :( (save for a box of original Airfix 1/72 plastics) Dont really have a NW Frontier army collection or set up, I'm mostly Africa. Mostly. But I WANT 15mm Gurkhas! Read Byron Farwells' "The Gurkhas", BTW. Just do it. You will thank me. May have to pull the trigger on Blue Moon's 15mm Gurkha sets. Will give me a 20 man unit, a 10 man unit, plus officers and sgts, and stuff. Plus I want a "Billy Fish" for a sidekick to one of my favorite British Officers ("Colonel Evelyn Haswood") The good Colonel always has a group of retainers (A Zulu, an Egyptian, and "Sidi Bombay", a tribal south Sudanese) in my games. Billy Fish would be a great addition. You got Gurkhas? Show them to me. |

Gurkhas are good. Mine are true 25mm. |

I'll soon have a unit of Mikes Models Gurkhas back from Fernando's painting service. They'll first see service in the Sudan, even if it's not historical. |

Here is a Billy Fish for you: link I have this set, but I have not had to the time to paint it yet. |

Mrs Lumley is somewhat the patron saint of the ex-British service Gurkha's. She did a magnificent job. |

She stood up for Gurkhas' rights and made the government change its policy. |
