Great idea to use the zouaves as Bashi-Bazouks.
Nice and colourfull bunch!

Cheers,
Rob

Very nicely painted Bashi Bazouks. Don't know how many you'd actually have seen on the battlefield, though. They'd be too busy plundering and cutting throats in the rear areas, I reckon.

top work keeping the colours totally random and no obvious repetition between figures.

Very nice indeed, M.
Is the pic before a 'selfie' ?.....I think we should be told.

Eeeek nope it ain't me...you wouldn't have got that much of me in the photo 

[Poggle]

Nice work all round, sir! I like the technique of using the different poses for different units. 

[Maenoferren]

Thank you for your kind words chaps

[FierceKitty]

Nah, I think just the one hump for a camel's enough

Don't say that - I've been wanting a few Bactrian baggels for my Indian and Chinese armies for years.

At long last the first lot of Dervish are finished. 20 bases of warriors, 8 of rifles and a sort of command stand

This only the beginning.....I am not sure how many more I will have to do but roughly:
24 bases of warriors and two of rifles
4  bases of cavalry
10  bases of camelry
3 guns
plus...

next to paint....Hadendowah reinforcements

Very cool so far.

Nice use of colour to differentiate the warriors and rifles, if you can afford a rilfe you can afford more dyed cloth 

[fred.]

That's a horde and a half!! 

I'm glad to see that you have 2 stands of British ready to face them all (back 2 photos on PB)

[Womble67]

Very nice

Take care
