Title: Zulu War British Auxiliary Cavalry dismounted
Post by: Brian Smaller on March 27, 2016, 08:58:31 PM
Hi all

Finished the lovely Empress Miniatures dismounted auxiliary and volunteer cavalry to go alongside the converted Perry ACW plastics I used for their mounted versions.

Hope you like them. More pics of the various units over at the Woolshed.  They got their first taste of action in a big battle held over Easter - report to come.

A stolen idea. Like all the good ones.

Great stuff.

Do you think that the Empress Zulu War Brits in kneeling firing poses would fit on 18mm washers? I ask as I like a tighter formation for the infantry and would get the sabot bases custom made.

It might be a squeeze to be honest. I have seen them based on 20mm rounds so they may fit with a bit of luck.
