Fantastic.

So, Frontier Light Horse then......... (you've now got horses and you already had figures in the braided patrol jacket, surely you just put them together and add a slouch hat? Or something like that :D )
So many projects..... so little time.......

They are lovely, my favourites of the whole range so far.

I like the horses, but I shall not be adding these to my Zulu War collection until a few more releases down the line give me a better idea of what I might add without getting silly about this thing.

I would have prefered to see some Boers myself and, of course, some Zulus in alternate poses which didn't so much remind me of Morris Dancers when I opened the packs. Perhaps an idiocycratic point of view, but I do not feel that there is real power or menace in the Zulu sculpts.

yes I like them. They are lovely.

Now a short question for VSF fans:

Could they do a nice VSF cavalry (in European theaters) or not???
