Title: Empress Rorkes Drift character releases
Post by: Paul @ Empress Miniatures on April 15, 2012, 06:26:57 PM: We are very proud to show off our latest Zulu War releases. These great figures represent more of the defenders of Rorke's drift including both historic and, perhaps, more Hollywood versions of some very famous personalities. The first new pack includes British defenders dressed in a rather casual interpretation of dress regulations. The urgency of battle has obviously caught these fellows out!

The second pack contains historical depictions of Chaplain George Smith, Corporal Friederich Schiess of the Natal Native Contingent, Acting Assistant Commissary James Langley Dalton, Surgeon Reynolds and Private Hitch.

We have also added the 13th Light Infantry flag sheet to our growing list of AZW colours.

These packs are available on the Empress site and will of course be at Salute. ;) Pre orders for the show most welcome.
