Hi, just curious as to what codes others have used for Bengal cavalry and Indian infantry in the Sudan. I suspect something from the Great War range?

?

I don't game the Sudan but am very familiar with the Great War range. GWE13 would be a good proxy IMHO. Robert

Are the WWI sculpts compatible with the colonial range? They look quite different in the photos.

They are absolutely perfect for the British Colonial Armies... lack of Gurkhas was in due time solved getting some Irregular Minis... and Egyptian Camelry (OMDURMAN) needed Turner 3D resin alternative (just because Baccus does not anything I would be able to convert!).

Sometimes it is complicated.

Likewise I use the Great War Indian range for Sudan and they are perfectly fine to mix in with the colonial range. I've also used WW1 British vickers mg as maxims and I used the Egyptian infantry with fez filed down a little for Gurkhas. I sourced artillery in fez from Turner but as per Ironass only because I couldn't find a suitable Baccus proxy

Now, I am sorry to say i posted that same pic in another thread by mistake!... will delete once this one published... I guess it is SUDAN (OMDURMAN) related enough. Those are 3D resin 6mm TURNER minis (painted by the talented Robert Jackson aka GREG... it took me a long wait to finally locate someone who did the alternative for lack of suitable BACCUS proxies. Of course the rest of units are BACCUS!
