These highly trained soldiers turned their weapons and Western-drilled discipline against their British masters in a desperate bid for freedom. Combining European military precision with fierce local resistance, the mutinous sepoys (regular and irregular alike) fought a brutal and relentless war, striking at British civilians, garrisons, and columns across the dusty plains of Northern India.
This set includes infantry typical of the mutinous Bengal Army and other rebel forces during the Indian Mutiny of 1857–1858. Depending on head and body choices, these figures are also perfect to represent native infantry, local militias, or civilian rebel forces throughout the 19th century across the Indian subcontinent.
This sprue will give you enough parts to outfit eight 28mm infantry with weapons including Pattern 1842 muskets, swords (tulwars), shields (dhal), and a bugle.
