The 11th Sikh regiment was an infantry regiment, which served in the Western Desert campaign during WW2. The Warlord Games 8th Army infantry box includes six Sikh heads per sprue. This gives a nice opportunity to build a Sikh squad for Bolt Action.
I wanted to have an engineer squad for my British Army of the Western Desert campaign, so I decided to make ten Sikh soldiers as engineers.
The engineer squad
I gave pickaxes to a couple of them and US Rangers M1928 Haversacks to other six. I also added shovels to the British backpacks of the rest three.
I gave a flamethrower to the tenth Sikh soldier. The weapon is made of various spare parts. Although it looks like a fantasy weapon, I am more or less happy with the result. Anyone who sees it, understands that it is a flamethrower!

And finally, a Boys anti-tank rifle team of two Sikh soldiers.
That's it for today! Stay tuned for more!
