Taiping Rebellion Project 15mm scale

Carthaginian Spanish

 Carthaginian Spanish infantry from Lancashire games

Carthaginian African Spear

 African Spear for the Carthaginian army in 15mm, they are Lancashire games figures and quite good casts.

Carthaginian elephant

 This is a nice new carthaginian elephant from Irregular Miniatures (RC62)  Its a full cast model with no need to fiddle about sticking stuff together and paints up well.

The figure is part of a comission if I get time I will take some more pics of them.

boxer rebellion legate forces

 British marines defending the legate

 British Imperial troops ready to march on the capital.  To be honest I dont like the uniforms much, we should have worn red.

 Indian troops supporting the British march on the capital.  Indian troops made to the balance of the british empire contingent.

 Americans, well at least they turned up.  In actual fact the american troops fought very well during the rebellion but it dosent defent the tarrible atrocaties carried out by them after the rebellion in china.  Although I should point out that most of the occupation troops were infact not the same marines who defended the legate or fougfht in the rebellion, they were new arrivals after the rebellion.  Mark Twain wrote quite alot about the subject.
