In case abyone is wondering about the hat on the musket/rifleman its called a dastar bunga. A tall conical turban, usually decorated with fully functional chakras, knives, etc. A speciality of the Nihang (a Sikh military order). Photos here.

And that's far from the strangest of their armaments. I'd nominate the ribbon sword and the chakari for that honor.

Very nice pack, good work

 

[Balam-Agab]

Thanks, all.

Yep. I'm working on some for the Rajputs and Delhi Sultanates.

I felt I needed to include at least one Nihang, to add a bit of spice to the outfits...

Wonderful units as usual! Thank you so much!

Any chance of a mounted guy with a gun?

Hope you don't mind so many requests and please feel free to ignore them or let me know if you don't want so many requests.

Once again really appreciate all your hard work!

imperator1961's Asian gunpowder era series includes what looks very much like a Sikh cavalry using both sword & gun. Unless you meant something like a Zamburak.

It's possible. I'd have to create some animations for it, but I was thinking of doing that at some point anyway.

Don't worry about annoying me with requests. It tends to motivate me more knowing someone else is looking forward to them.

I wondered about the same. A "Turban" Cavalry firing a rifle is really missing.

This would be great - and of course Balam-Agab, thank you very much for your great work!

What did you have in mind different from the unit mentioned? "More South Asian units" always gets my vote, but having them as unique as possible counts as well.

and how about some women? Saris are distinctive & could easily accommodate civ-color. There are several distinctive weapons such as the katar that would be nice to see wielded.
