Continuing with the Boxer Rebellion theme with have more from 'Redoubt Enterprises', this time my test miniatures for Dong Fuxiang's, Kansu Braves.
These fearsome Muslim warriors are wearing their bright and distinctive uniforms and must have been a terrifying sight as they laid siege to the Legations. Organised into eight battalions of infantry, two squadrons of cavalry, two brigades of artillery, and one company of engineers, the Braves were also familiar with and used modernised weaponry.
This, sadly, is all I've managed this week and although I put in a brief appearance at some of your blogs I'm looking forward to spending a day trawling around and catching up tomorrow. In the interim I just wanted to show off my new favourite gaming accessories - aren't they just gorgeous? These beauties arrived in the post this morning courtesy of 'The Angry Lurker'; they were commissioned as part of a giveaway to commemorate his outstanding blog reaching its second anniversary. A wonderful milestone indeed; THANK YOU Fran.
No problem Michael, glad you got them!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely thrilled with them.
DeleteExcellent figures, beautiful work! and the dice look very cool if I say so myself!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Ray and looking forward to rolling them in anger.
DeleteVery nice painted miniatures! Especially the pattern on their kerchieves, simple but effective! Well well done!
ReplyDeleteThank you the idea was cribbed from the Osprey title for the Boxer Rebellion.
DeleteThe "not too red and not too yellow" is a really Lovely colour combination...I´ll pinch that for some sergeants-at-arms.
ReplyDeleteCheers

I shall take that as a wonderful compliment.
DeleteGreat looking figures and dice. These might work well for a Tong faction in EotD!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea there, you could certainly have some fun with the colour schemes.
DeleteYour superb painting of these figures is going to make me reconsider Redoubt Miniatures in future figure purchases. Excellent work once again Michael.
ReplyDeleteThank you Pat, they do paint well, but I have to say that I am looking forward to more detailed miniatures.
DeleteAs always great looking figures. Love the colour and yes they must have been a sight to make the knees shake. Well done getting the dice too
ReplyDeleteIan
Thank you Ian, definitely would have been a terrifying sight.
DeleteNice job! I like the 'chinese red' and muted golden combo.
ReplyDeleteThank you, took a bit of orange in the mix to get it to where I wanted it.
DeleteFantastic painting, as usual. How do the Redoubt figures seem size-wise?
ReplyDeleteThank you Al; they actually match in pretty well, I'll try and post a comparison shot in the next post.
DeleteVery nice colour combo, a fearsome looking little band!
ReplyDeleteThank you Dave.
DeleteDang. Every one of these posts is making me want to try Boxer Recellion stuff more and more.
ReplyDeleteOr maybe even the Boxer Rebellion! ;-)
DeleteGo on you know you want to! Just watch 55 Days at Peking with Charlton Heston saving the day and you will be hooked!
DeleteLookin' good, Michael.

Enough to chill the hearts of all long-nose, round-eyes in the Legations!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the dice haul, too. I'm jealous!
Fine work Micheal, and well done on the dice!
