Some images of units I recently completed for my Fescennia campaign. They are for the forces of the Amir of Augeas, a country somewhat like early 19th Century Afghanistan, which lies within the Southern Confederation area of the continent of Fescennia. The Southern Confederation is a "work in progress" part of the campaign, being made up of several small states, each with an individual character different from the three main powers - Nemea, Arcadia and Erymanthia.

An irregular tribal unit. I have now finished three of these units. These are 24 figures strong, but with only a third of the figures armed with muskets, the rest being equipped with swords, daggers and shields for close combat. I intend to give them a bonus for hand-to-hand fighting. The flag is from that ever-useful site, Warflag. The figures are mostly 25mm hard plastic Afghans from Atlantic, a bit fiddly to put together with my big fingers, but a lovely range of poses and easy to paint. A few metal Wargames Foundry Afghans are amongst them as well.

The Amir of Augeas' Bodyguard Regiment. The idea is that the Amir, anxious not to get left behind in terms of military tactics and technology, has raised some regular troops for his army. These are his guard unit. The figures are 28mm metal Ottomans from Trent Miniatures (acquired from Arcane Scenery, a very efficient site for sales and delivery). I have given the Amirate a light green/yellow/purple colour scheme for their regular forces, in keeping with the idea that each power has a particular colour, or set of colours, e.g. Nemea is red, while Erymanthia is blue.

The Amir himself, a rather splendid figure!
