Do you mean Box Set One? That is H. M. Stanley

Post by: Frontiersman on 18 January 2017, 08:12:17 PM: I thought it was strange for Foundry to give me a miniature that wasn't part of their DA range, but his head will probably go onto an Old West or Weird war 2 conversion. Cheers for the help.

With a reasonably large order last year, I got a witchdoctor. I thought that was a pretty good result, as I didn't fancy paying £12 to get seven witchdoctors :D

And a Zulu figure came with some crocodiles I bought after that.

Sadly I still haven't won the lottery though, so my luck isn't all good.
