A slight change from my normal posts - here are some shots of very recently arrived EBOR British Crimean War Infantry. You might think that after my recent experiences in this era, I would be keeping right away from it, but I am semi interested in creating a brigade or possibly a division for a planned upcoming Crimean game. A friend had already purchased Ebor Russians and reported that they were terrible - he calls them the Russian Dwarfs (or could be gnomes!). The pictures of the British looked OK on the Ebor website, but you can never be sure, so rather than jumping right in with a purchase of multiple packs, I bought one of each, 6 command, 6 centre company and 6 flank company - coincidentally exactly the number required for the basing protocol we are using in this era - 3 bases of 6 figures each. Anyway, the figures arrived recently and they look pretty good, so I will paint these up and then look at purchasing some more.
These are the six figures comprising the Crimean War British Command pack

Here is a comparison shot of Ebor Crimean War drummer on the left and a Perry Carlist War Spanish Drummer on the right

These are the three figures comprising the Crimean War British Centre Company pack  - there are two of each figure in the pack

These are the three figures comprising the Crimean War British Flank Company pack  - there are two of each figure in the pack

Another comparison shot - Perry Carlist War on the left and Ebor Crimean on the right

Final comparison is an Old Glory Sikh War Sepoy on the left and the Sergeant from the Ebor command pack on the right
