IHMN: The Mad Mahdi's Navy
Fifteen Beja on a dead man's chest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of holy water that the Mahdi washed in...
Upon hearing that the 'Turks' had a new steamboat the Mad Mahdi commissioned his own naval force by 'acquiring' a trading dhow from the river Arabs.
The model is scratchbuilt in plasticard from a plan off the Major General Tremorden archived colonial warfare site.
It will carry about twenty Dervishes at a pinch provided they don't whirl too much.
The Mahdist flag.
Smashing job John!
