For those of you who don't regularly frequent that sinkhole of depravity that is Frothers, you may have missed this little beauty from Black Scorpion:

(http://www.blackscorpionminiatures.com/images/workbench/workbench_57_large.jpg)
Initially a limited resin run for Salute, but will be available in metal soon after.
I wants one. :-*
Edited to include picture - more on the linky!
-
Very nice!!!
-
Oooh. Nice.
First the Salute giveaway piece, now this... Do we think these are just dabblings, or are Black Scorpion about to do a Zulu War range as well?
Funny how these things go in cycles isn't it?
BUt the real question is who will be first with plastic Zulus? My bet is on the Perrys ;)
-
Darth Bob,
Would you like me to pick one up for you at Salute?

This looks like a very nice miniature, but my guess is it will be much larger than Empress miniatures when they release theirs.
It's always lovely to see this period in fashion an a real treat for gamers and collectors.
I suppose at the end of the day you can't have enough Bromheads! 8) If you lose one in a game you can always replace him with another - that's Hollywood!

NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW THAT

That figure will look absolutely cracking with a spike added to the helmet.

Just what I was thinking.. Perfect for VSF home service.He would make a very nice hero figure :)

Darth Bob,

Yesss, my maasssterrr....
If you could mate, that would be brilliant. Don't go out of your way though, I think they are very limited. Vey good of you. :)
Oh, and Helen, accordng to the post on Frothers, he is 29mm to the eye, which I guess will make him about 35mm to the top of his hat. So yes, he is a big lad.

I'll see if they have any left when I swing by their stand, whats your max budget for him, I see they haven't put a price on him? ::)

You go back to throwing those mud pies.

Gorgeous fig. Now we wants one, preciouss... we does....
Of course, the problem is that most of my thin red line are Ral Partha, which are beautiful, but will be positively dwarfed by MECHA-BROMHEAD there;)

Outstanding! I've been wanting to do a Black Scorpion order for a while, but this has made it a top priority after Salute. Thanks for the heads up.

I'd be a very poor lead adventurer if I didn't know that, wouldn't I? (It is from Zulu, isn't it? :?)
Since most BS metals go for about £3.00, I reckon a resin piece should be about double that, especially for a limited run. I assume, anyway, I don't usually but stuff like that. But don't fret if you can't get one, if they are going to release him in metal anyway I can always wait if I have to.
Thanks again for the offer though.

I'll see what I can do old chum ;) :)
I'll be there at the start( I like to drive through London before the traffic builds up, then get myself a nice double Espresso and a croissant before the show opens.So will head straight for their stand then and pick up one or two. ;)

Sorted. :D
Although, it really should be tea and a muffin or something, you're getting dangerously Continental there. Oh, but you don't like tea, do you? Bovril and Marmite toast? I suppose we could accept that stalwart of old Empire, Camp Coffee instead of the Espresso. lol

Yes my dietry requirements have been worrying me of late, I think I'm staring to have Frenchie tendencies for example I am preferring fries to chips and I like my fillet steak Au Poivre... :o
