Iron Duke Miniatures Basotho Wars range

[Mike1879]

First sneaky peak at some of the figures in their New Basotho wars range.
Mounted Basotho warriors and Infantry of the 43rd (Monmouthshire regt)
on show. Loads more to follow. Superb sculpts from the very talented Mr Paul Hicks.

Lovely sculpts

Outstanding work from Mike and Paul 

I've been glued to the Iron Duke Facebook page of late. I'm there three or four times a day!

Some of the detail that Paul has pulled out of the hat for some of the helmet work is unbelievable.

Visit the site myself several times a day to check on updates. Agree the detail on the helmets for their Sikh wars range is outstanding!!

You must be more excited than the rest of us!

My word, but those British infantry are superb. Mr Hicks has excelled himself with those

Oohhh nice miniatures. I hope there are some Sotho-Tswana warriors on foot coming. I'd really like to convert them into Sebetwane and his Makololo.

I can;t wait.They had warbands of as many as 6-to 1o thousand cav..Will go well with my Perry Cape frontier units. ..also Gov.Cathcart from Iron Duke.

Absolutely stunning..... word fail

Thanks for the heads up! The Cheshires for Scinde are superb. Whether I would ever run to making a full Baluchi army is another matter.

I do hope ID does some greated coated types for Gandamak, I’d happily buy some to replace the rather lacklustre Studio Miniatures ones I have. The really odd thing about that range being that Paul did some excellent personality figures but someone else did the infantry.

These are just lovely, aren't they.  I think there are some mounted Africans in my future.

What on earth is that cavalry chap in the 3rd picture up to. I’m no expert in 19th century weapons, but I’m reasonably certain the barrel is usually pointing the other way.

Hello
I’m not expert on early 19c British Army ..but those minis are nice ..as I already have some Afghan/MWF tribesmen and even some few Xhosas ..do you think those British infantry could be used also against the above mentioned foes? ..in fact I’m looking ,as a distraction for my late 19c colonials projects , a British infantry type for a pair of units that could be fielded possibly against xhosas, afghans and in case also against early boers ..could those ID beautiful minis do ?
Thanks

Great looking minis.Mike Snook does some great ranges and you can be sure it won't be just a pack or 2.I could probably spend 10-20,000 thousand dollars on all the great miniatures out there.

Andy Tee ,the fellow on the horse is reloading thee Musket on the fly,while riding..common practice.They were poor shots .But they were not inclined to dismount ,like their Boer counter parts,The boers fired from and reloaded in the saddle ,but were expert shots  and in the early years used a very large caliber slug,
