The next up coming plastic set for perry is for colonials. Now where is their british napoleonic cavalry.......

The plastic Mahdist Ansar are almost here! So if you like, you can pre-order them. They will be available mid-late July.The box contains 40 Mahdist Ansar, who fought the Eygptians and British between 1881-1885. They include command, six flags, info and painting guide, plus sand-colored unit bases. They're designed to be assembled as Beja tribesmen ('Fuzzy Wuzzies', early or late war) or the Kordofan and Nile Arabs, although customers might be able to use them for other Northern African peoples.

Heads and arms are separate, as are shields. There are options for rifleman as well as spears, sword and 'throw-stick' arms.

An appropriate change of headgear and weapons would make them usable with many north African armies of the past 5,000 years up to the late 19th century. Even after that as villagers/tribemen irregulars.

'allo there my sexy new plastic Tallarns.

Or are you my Sexy new plastic Tallarns?

Maybe both of you.

**Clang**

Those Beja 'fros do look odd, unintentionally like furry hats - not the fault of the sculptors - i'm glad they've gone for detachable heads.

Presuming the scale's ok, they would indeed make a great Tallarn or other hot climate IG.

**cpt_fishcakes**

Been looking forward to these, they will be perfect for making "Arab" slavers for Darkest Africa skirmish games.

**CURNOW**

I'm thinking those first heads will look great on my elisians !

**RiTides**

I'm not a fan of the heads on the first set, but overall these are quite nice. And with detachable heads that's no problem

**Ventusgermany**

Finally some support for my Dark Eldar and Skaven!

**kenshin620**

Arise my topic! According to TMP, these fellas should now be available for shipping

There are two command sprues and three infantry on which are 40 Beja heads, and 40 bare-headed and capped ones as well. All arms are separate with a mixture of spears, swords, throwing sticks, and eight rifles. The 36 shields are intended for the Beja. Also provided is historical background by the esteemed author Lt. Col. Mike Snook, six flags, and sand-colored unit bases.

**Kid_Kyoto**

Darn only 8 rifles.

Zouaves it is!

**Chibi Bodge-Battle**

What is that twixt the booklet and sprues please?

**Saruus**

It looks like the sand colored bases. Maybe you pop them out?

**fellblade**

All this is fine and good, but where are my plastic Napoleonic British Cavalry?

**Chibi Bodge-Battle**

Thanks Saruus
looking at the models that would seem to be it

Maybe they are taking a leaf out of the US Cav book and waiting until the last minute?
