I will use the Too Fat Lardies' Dawns and Departures to build the campaign. I haven't decided which rules for fighting the actual battles that will be set up, but am looking at Fistful of Lead Bigger Battles (and possibly standard FFoL for skirmishes), Bolt Action, and The Men Who Would Be Kings. Who knows, with the second edition of Chain of Command coming out soon, I might add CoC2 into the mix. Hanging on in the background there will still be GDW's Soldiers' Companion and the venerable Sword and the Flame. Most likely I'll plan games with each of these rules.
I already have established armies for both the Djelli of Jhamjar and for the British Raj. However armies are never complete! In addition to his uniformed army, the common people of Jhamjar may get involved in the fight. Inspired by Indian activists like the famous revolutionary M.N.Roy, groups of insurgents may appear to ambush the Imperial forces.
These figures are from Pulp Figures. I did careful research on their clothing (aka I rewatched RRR) and decided to add a bit more colour, plus use of red highlights with turbans, belts and sashes to represent their revolutionary inspiration. The lady on the end is from Eureka Miniatures.
Now if I can only find a suitable mini of these two!
Very nice Will. I really like the colours and pattern on the Eureka figure's sari.
ReplyDeletethanks, Codsticker! The pattern looks best at arm's length, no need to zoom in ;)
DeleteWe're doing Star Wars skirmish in our group, too, but on a much smaller scale. Look forward to more on this. Oh, and I love the North Star spears, as well. I like living on the dangerous side, though, and keep the points on! When playing my Picts, I count the number of times they stab me in a game...
ReplyDeleteCheers, Mike! We've used Galatic Heroes (Fistful of Lead in Spaaace!) for skirmish games, it's great for Star Wars. for Jhamjar, I'm still in the planning phase, but over the next little while I'll start putting up some blog posts with campaign background and ideas.
