I've just been looking at Empress Miniatures' site and they are working on Natal Police figures

http://www.empressminiatures.com/page3.htm

The horse is absoultely superb! One of the (if not the) best horse sculpts I've ever seen

Plans apparently include four variants in each unit, including both mounted and dismounted along with horse-holders, officers etc.

There's also a Col Durnford on the way as well as far too many others to mention here

Outstanding!

Happy first birthday, Empress

Superb, and yes that is a lovely horse

I think the NMP and The Natal Carbineers are amongst my favourite looking colonial cavalry units.

I have to agree. The Osprey (name forgotten

) about the Zulu War irregular units is a great source of inspiration for all these units. If Empress can manage to model them all, I for one will be a very happy bunny!

They will also be very useful for fictional Darkest Africa campaigns, of course

Guys that book is currently out of print and so very difficult to track down. However if you look at the usual places such as Ebay you can still find it. Well worth getting a copy

Also nag Osprey to re release it - we have been

OMG GM, I didn't want to see this news!

Project is now next year sometime

The Osprey book on the Irregular Units is one of my favourite books by Osprey. Beautiful artwork an a joy to read.

Excellent figures,Any clues to your next release?

chicklewis · « **Reply #11 on:** May 30, 2009, 04:09:16 AM »

?Why would Osprey reprint 'Zulu War Volunteers - - - " when you can still buy brand new copies for under $10?
