Saw these Sikhs on Ebay and couldn't resist them. I think they are circa 1980s and actually designed for the Boxer Rebellion. When I saw them in the flesh I was a bit shocked by the size of their heads! I think they look fine and make an ideal Punjabi Irregular Force. I had some officers (mainly Wargames Foundry Franco-Prussian), a couple of old QT Miniatures ACW drummers and spare standard bearer knocking about. I painted up the little drummer boys as Anglo-Indians.
In all there are four companies of 10 men, plus the eight figure for the command. The flag is speculative, but probably close to the real thing.
