Hat Indian Colonials

Like many of their latest 20mm figures I think the Colonial War Indian Infantry are simply a joy to customise and paint.

I moved the standing figures heads, who are loading their Martini's, 90° to the left to get the effect.

The Officers are from the Waterloo 1815 Anglo-Egyptian Army...

...fortunately there is an excess of officers in the set, which although could be seen as an issue works very well with the officer 'less' figures of Hat.

I wanted my infantry officer to have Gauntlets I borrowed a few arms from Italeri´s set of Confederate Cavalry
