Amongst the figures that I recently purchases on eBay were some Essex Miniatures figures in the khaki drill-coloured uniforms worn by the British troops in the Sudan. I decided that they would make an excellent basis for a Belle Époque Commonwealth of Britannia expeditionary force ... and they have!
The following units form what I am calling the Britannic Expeditionary Field Force (BEFF), which currently includes two infantry regiments, ...
... a field artillery regiment, ...
... and a supply column.
It also has its own general/commander:
The complete BEFF looks like this:
I would like to add a machine gun unit of some sort to the BEFF although this might be better added to the existing naval brigade as I have several suitable figures in naval uniforms as well as a very nice model of a Nordenfelt gun in my box of Belle Époque-related bits and pieces.

Hello Bob,
ReplyDeleteThey look just the ticket! Will they be acquiring a mounted contingent? The more I see the 3 figure bases the better I like them - I shall be using the same convention for the Mike’s Models collection (amongst other things!).
All the best,
DC
