Uniforms of Dahara 5


 

UNIFORMS OF DAHARA 5

2nd Lancers

The 2nd Lancers were formed at the behest of the Junior Deacon of the Order of the Prophet.  These lancers were recruited from the Capital city of Konigburg, and were taken from third sons of wealthy merchants.

 

Their uniforms are based on the colors of the ceremonial robe of the Junior Deacon.  It consists of white coats and breeches.  Facings were of light blue shown at collar cuffs and turn backs.  They also had a light blue stripe on the outside of each leg of the breeches.  Saddle blankets were of Daharan Blue with white striping.  They wear a light blue topped  czapka with white edging and a white cross on the top.  Solid light blue plumes are worn at all times.  Trumpeters wear reversed uniforms, with light blue coat and breeches with a white stripe on the legs.

The regiment is currently a part of the Army of the South.  This army is currently inside the border of Fuddland, as it prosecutes the current military operation.

    Sensational! The Kardeef has a keen eye for colour!

 UNIFORMS OF DAHARA !st Battalion of the 1st Regiment of Foot 1801-1803  Finally Server J Error returned to the Capital City with an image of the 1stBn/1stReg of Foot.  This unit was instrumental in the famous Battles of the Bridges, which took place in the newly won Northern Territory of the Imagined Dahara.  For these actions the 1/1 Foot was given the honorific of "The Pratorians" by the Master of Dahara Benjamin Kardeef. This unit was the first to receive its colors in recognition of meritorious service.  The color is Daharan Blue field with the Daharan Compass of the Light on the Obverse and a Crowned Stylized K for the House of Kardeef on the Reverse.

  TRAITOR EXECUTED Server J. Error was executed on the orders of Major General Ruelle Pressman.   Error, was formerly the esteemed mapmaker of Dahara.  He was unveiled as being an agent of Fuddland after his maps for the current offensive were seen to be wildly inaccurate. He intentionally turned the maps for the western part of the offensive 90 degrees to the west.  This caused the 2nd Field force of the Prophet to become hopelessly out of position in its march towards the objectives of the campaign. Pressman officiated at the execution which was carried out by riflemen of the 1st Light Battalion assisted by gunners of the 1st Battery of the Imperial Artillery.  Pressman hopes that this will prevent other traitors from attempting to hinder the armed forces of Dahara.

Plans for 2024

  PLANS FOR 2024 Back in 2022, I decided to formulate a plan to deal with my "Pile of Shame/Opportunity" that  had accumulated over time.  I made a list of all of the minis that I had unpainted at the time.  I then divided it up into project lists.  These would be final unit numbers.  For example, a project could be a unit of 12 infantry figures, or 8 cavalry figures etc.  To my surprise, and shock, it  totaled 205 units.  Not daunted, I made the goal of painting 1,000 minis.  Well, I ended up finishing 1,050.  Would be more but I count a cavalry figure as one not two. Fast forward to 2023.  I have added considerably more to the "Pile".  Then real life got in the way with my knee getting replaced in January.  Not feeling much like painting what with a rigorous PT schedule. I have completed only around 125 so far.  I knew I needed to set out to make another plan for next year. This plan will not be based upon a total number of figures.  It will be instead based on fi
