British Empire Redcoats (1 Viewer)

Here is a suggestion for an addition to the WB Redcoats line:

THE EAST INDIA COMPANY'S EUROPEAN REGIMENT AT THE BATTLE OF CUDDALORE, 1ST JULY 1783

The Battle of Cuddalore was part of the 2nd Anglo-Mysore War:

The Second Anglo-Mysore War (1780–1784) was a conflict in India between the Kingdom of Great Britain and the Kingdom of Mysore. At the time, Mysore was a key French ally in India, and the Franco-British conflict raging on account of the American Revolutionary War helped spark Anglo-Mysorean hostilities in India.

It would also be nice to see another WB glossy Classic Series: "Enemies of the Empire"like the Mysoreans shown in the illustration.We already have enemy figures in the Classic French & India War Series. We could add Sepoys, Zulus, Dervishes, Boxers, Afridis, Pathan tribesmen, Ashantis, Abyssinians, etc.

I hope your voice will be heard.
A great suggestion.

Gentle Friends,

I wholeheartedly agree with Randy and Konrad. I think this could be a terrific series!

Warmest personal regards.

[craig1985taylor]

Until new "British Empire" Redcoats arrive, here are a few pictures of some troops of the late 19th century that I do like very much.
In addition to Randy's suggestion of the East India Company's troops I would welcome any further "mounted" troops.
Konrad

And one more mounted one.
It would be nice to get an officer of the 21st Lancers to go with a few of this one.

If I didn't already own all 3 of these Sudan figures your splendid photos would make me run to the store and get them ASAP!

Randy that is a very good idea

Very nice pictures of your Camel Corps and 21st Lancer Konrad.

For the painters among us who'd like to model the European regiment, maybe All the King's Men's new 1812 militia can serve as a starting point. Ken has a post here this morning to show his latest figures, but here is a link to the page at his website, too:

The "Militia Infantry" and "Maryland Militia" include figures with the stovepipe, they might be converted relatively easily to the East India Company's troops.

Prost!

I collect only WWII, but I have admired this 21st Lancer from the beginning. I will probably get this guy. Can anyone tell me what scale it is 1/32 or 1/30?

The glossies by WB are 1:32

Nice photos Konrad. These are my favorite figures in that line. John

Very nice figures Konrad I hope we see some more lancers (perhaps 17th ) and maybe some hussars or dragoons.
