Description
Wargames Atlantic Sepoy Mutineers 28mm
Build a force of Sepoy Mutineers from the Indian Mutiny of 1857-1858 with this 28mm infantry kit from Wargames Atlantic. WAAIC004 provides enough parts to outfit 24 infantry representing troops typical of the mutinous Bengal Army and other rebel forces that fought across Northern India.
These figures depict highly trained soldiers who turned their weapons and Western-drilled discipline against their British masters during the uprising. With different head and body choices, the miniatures can also represent native infantry, local militias or civilian rebel forces across the Indian subcontinent during the 19th century, giving the set useful flexibility for historical wargames forces.
Weapons and Infantry Options
The box contains a selection of weapons suited to the infantry represented by the set. Options include Pattern 1842 muskets, swords known as tulwars, dhal shields and a bugle. These choices allow the 24 figures to be assembled with varied equipment while retaining the character of the forces represented.

Versatile 19th Century Figures
The choice of heads and bodies expands the potential uses of these miniatures beyond regular mutinous sepoys. Different combinations can be used to depict native infantry, local militias and civilian rebel forces from across the Indian subcontinent during the 19th century. This makes the kit particularly useful for building a varied force rather than repeating a single infantry appearance throughout a unit.
Assembly and Painting
The models require assembly and painting, providing plenty of scope for individual finishing across the 24 figures. Bases are not included, and product contents may vary from the photographs. The miniatures were sculpted by Thieu Duong, with research by Willie Bogaerts and miniature painting by Chris Hindmarsh.
