Title: Frontier Light Horse figures
Post by: Dewbakuk on October 26, 2011, 09:20:06 PM: Just came across this. I assume they're conversions of Empress Miniatures but I'm hoping they're 'to be released' Empress miniatures...

They are Redoubt Miniatures Frontier Light Horse.

Really? How do they scale? Redoubt tend to have two different scales for their figures...

They are on the tall side, probably head and shoulders over Empress. We used my collection of Redoubt stuff in last years BLAM Zulu game. They measured up ok next to Captain Bloods Foundry Zulus.

I can bring some along nextw eek if you wish to check.

You're right, Redoubt dwarf Empress and that's no exaggeration. I had the idea of mixing artillery crews and it looked absurd.
