Lovely job there, well done you!

That would take me about 7 years. Put about 20 Brits and a Gatling gun on the right table edge and you are good to go.

They look great! But what's this strange word you uttered, "finished"? grin
That really is a beautiful collection of figures. Amazing that you did it in only seven weeks. Like, Joe, it'd take me seven years. At least.

Very nice. Dervish like most colonial opponents are never truly "finished."

They really came out nice.

Outstanding work!

Blimey, it took me about 3 years to paint my Mahdists which are approximately the same size force as yours.I sometimes think I should have put all of them on similar bases to yours for effect, rather than ones with straight edges, but then I think life's too short and they're fine as they are.They do look great en masse like that.

Congrats – Excellent Work!

I've been doing my Mahdists for 20 years…

CAPTAIN BEEFHEART28 Nov 2017 4:42 p.m. PST

35+ years and counting. Now rebasing for a new system and finishing off the unpainted ones. You NEVER finish painting the Mahdists. Just wish they would look as good as Erik's!

Lion in the Stars28 Nov 2017 6:42 p.m. PST

"finished"

I do not think that word means what you think it means… evil grin

Good looking minis!

BigDan Supporting Member of TMP28 Nov 2017 7:12 p.m. PST

Very nice Giles, the Mahdi would be pleased!

Cacique Caribe28 Nov 2017 8:40 p.m. PST

Incredible results and at an outstanding pace too. I love it. Way to go!

PS. As for the Brits, some of them might dare to think/say …
