Over the weekend I finished painting 8 Camel Corps and 5 Dervish cavalry, bringing those forces up to 24 and 25 figures, respectively. I am halfway in building up both units. I currently have 4 more camel corps on the painting table, work in progress at this time. It should take a day of painting to finish them. There are three more boxes (4 per box) of CC yet to be painted.
I did a little rearranging of the game table to set up a vignette of the Camel Corps riding out of Khartoum. I know, the Camel Corps was never in Khartoum, but they look cool emerging from the town gate.

Let us not forget the Dervish either. Bad things can happen in the Sudan when one forgets the Dervish.

| The Dervish cavalry now has 25 riders after the completion of 5 more figures. |

| I have to place an order for three more boxes (5 figures per box) so as to build the Dervish cavalry up to 40 figures . |

| The Camel Corps is probably my favorite unit in the Sudan Project. I like the Egyptians too, because no one seems to use Egyptian or Sudanese allies in their colonial games. |
OTHER NEWS AND UPDATES
Richard Ansel sent me pictures of the greens for the AWI Morgan’s Rifles at Saratoga. These are really nice looking figures that can be used for Saratoga and other AWI theaters of war. I will post the pictures within the next couple of days.
I primed my first 38-figure Saratoga British regiment yesterday and will get to them after I finish four more 54mm Camel Corps figures. It will be the 21st Regiment in blue facings. Flags from GMB Designs are on order.
