Dark Africa at dixon Miniatures
« on: September 19, 2012, 04:58:46 PM »
Yes, you read it :

quote Dixon :

DIXON ZULUS - METAL
It is our intention to add certain types of more unusual figures in metal(and eventually more regular types) to support the Warlords plastics and add interest to the range.


and the first reference is :

Non combattants
Zulu Girls and Udibi Boys (4 pack)

look very interesting !   :-*

Nice paint jobs on those, they will be useful figures for any collection. :)

Lovely figures but despite Millies statement I have no use for them. Very pleased to see new stuff from Dixon too.

Dixon.  Wow, suddenly woken up and realised people like Warlord, Empress and the Perries create new ranges now and again...

They're excellent!  :-*

To be honest I think Dixon has some great ranges and I think it was quite tough for them to release new miniatures as the other companies as stated above are a bit bigger (with the exception of Empress) than Dixon Miniatures IMHO.

But the miniatures look great!  :-*
