What are these?

After painting a very few figures with a very basic look, I am more firmly convinced 15mm is not the way for me to go. 

I do have a sizeable collection for the North African theater . These US, British, DAK and Italians will duke it out in my Lilliput Blitz campaign. Lots of vehicles and only a few figures to paint.

 

Which begs the question----what do I do with these?

 

Small figures,  15mm from the 1990's.  I think the army represents from somewhere on the Indian subcontinent.  Could be Essex?  Perhaps even Mikes Models?

8 Elephants are included.  Two hundred plus foot. At least 100 mounted.  So I want to decide.  Paint and play?  Sell?

You have a good puzzle to solve. I cannot identify any of the figures with certainty. I don’t think Essex but some remind me of Freikorps 15 style although the metal looks too soft.

No idea what they are Joe, sorry! As to what to do with them, I would be inclined towards selling them off, personally.

Jonathan, thanks for the look. They may even be a mix...freikorps could be a source. Just not sure I want to start another period now, especially in a smaller than 28mm scale.

Keith, thanks for looking at 'em. I was guessing it will be a sale situation my self. Both the size and lack of knowledge in the era/area reduce the likelihood I get a lot of use from these. Hmmm.

Joe, the majority are Freikorps 15 "History of India" figures (HI code) later produced by QRF. There are some Mikes Models / Essex (separate horses).
The FK15 have Indian cavalry, elephants and possibly native inf as well as some Sepoys - Maharrata if I'm not mistaken..
You could do something like DBN with them or VnB - anything with low figure density and use or play against Napoleonics?

Neil, you're awesome! I remember now the idea behind the project. There was a mythical campaign from one of the wargaming magazines, the article said it was based on the war of the roses with names sounding like the sub continent. Now I think I might just keep the lot and follow an abridged form the original idea. Thank you.
