Post by: Westy38 on July 13, 2022, 08:24:02 PM

The first of a brand new range of 28mm Kings African Rifle figures.

This is a command group made up of European officer & NCO, Askari NCO & Askari bugler. The officer is armed with a cane, the rest with 'long' Lee Enfield rifles. Not shown in the photo are a rifle & pistol for the officer & a Small Magazine Lee Enfield for the bugler.

Just ordered mine. I agree they look very good. I hope they get some troops to command fairly soon. Although with my painting speed it gives Underfire plenty of time.
Also I have ordered some HLBS East African Germans too. Does anyone know if they are likely to match up? next I have to load up my Kindle with relevant historical readings
thanks
Frank

Don't know if you can find it for Kindle, but try and get hold of Battle for the Bundu.  Great book.

Not sure if it’s already been covered here, I now have figures from both HLBS and Underfire. They go together really well. So much so that I have accidentally mixed up the loose heads and will have to get out the opivisor to establish what belongs to whom. F

Just released these gentlemen onto the Under Fire online store...

28mm KAR 2: Riflemen
(https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img923/886/KiHCVj.jpg)

These four figures depict riflemen of 1 KAR, 2 KAR and 4 KAR up until 1917. They wear the 1903 bandolier equipment that was introduced before WWI and are armed with ‘long’ Lee Enfield rifles. They also represent these particular battalions prior to the war where they carried out local actions against tribal raids and maintained law and order in the region.

This pack also contains two SMLE Lee Enfields for additional weapons options.

They are cast out of white metal and sized for use in 28mm games. A link to the online store, where they may be bought, can be found below.
