Perfect, especially for battling hill tribes.

Seeing the man himself https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Warburton the miniature actually looks like him.

Outstanding job on this one Neil. He will surely be targeted and cut down in his first battle.

Beautiful job creating a figure to play the part of one of my favorite real world characters from NWF history!

Here’s a link to Warburton’s autobiography, “Eighteen Years in the Khyber, 1879-1898,” which was finished by his wife and published soon after his death:
