Saw on warlords site today new minis to go with their Rorkes drift set, not bad renditions (holding out for the InDuna and witch doctor as a separate pack) but it got me wondering, whatever happened to the warlord/Empress miniatures collaboration?

It used to be you could get metal empress stuff packed in with warlord plastics and then they just topped with no fanfare and repackaged them, also I recall empress announcing new packs a little while ago but nothing since.

Pics for your delectation.

For Empress I recently did Highlanders and Naval Brigade. Those were the sets that they had advertised doing.

Empress Miniatures agreed over two years ago to stop our working relationship. Nothing dramatic we just both agreed to work separately. Different companies different styles.

Since then our range of metals has continued to grow with various wagons, Naval Brigade, Highlanders, personalities etc.

We would love to grow the range a lot quicker but despite the skin grafts the extra sets of arms we put on our sculptor Paul Hicks just did not take.

However more AZW in the pipeline.

Cheers, Paul

Ooh, these look very nice 👍!!!

Hopefully they will release these as separate packs and not just part of the Rorkes Drift set at some point !!

Thanks for the info all, it's a shame as I quite enjoyed being able to combine postage on empress/warlord stuff, the naval stuff I loved and i recall a vague mention of some day doing commissary officers...although tbh what i;d really like to see is some colonial civvies.

I'm hoping for them as a separate pack too, I recall the badly photographed warlord display had a few rorkes drift characters we haven't seen yet as well as a NNC-looking officer with sword a a nnc trooper with a knobkerrie so here's hoping too.

I am tempted you cheeky fellow, if you don't mind me saying I find that your miniatures are sometimes too finely detailed for me, lots of bent swords/bayonets as I am a clumsy git....that said it hasn't stopped me from buying them before...

Cool! But I don't think that's quite all the Empress Rorke's Drift figures. You need to show us the rest, too.

I really like that Warlord inyanga/isangoma (or whatever it is meant to be). Lovely pose. I already have a Foundry inyanga I need to paint, though, so I guess he'll have to wait.

Here you go Plynkes, you can pick some of others out amongst this lot !!

Thanks, Mike! That was a fast response.
