Empress Miniatures Latest Cavalry releases.
« on: April 17, 2010, 09:51:06 AM »
Empress have now released the last of their auxiliary cavalry packs representing those units that were present at Isandlwana.



We planned to cover these units in relatively small numbers as the historic units were small in the campaign. The figures released so far gives the gamer 12 troopers plus a command figure which is fairly standard to many of the Colonial rules currently available. We will now look at horse holders for these units.



Buffalo Border Guard



Newcastle mounted rifles.



In the area of cavalry next in line will be Imperial Mounted Infantry, Natal Mounted Contingent and Boers. Not necessarily in that order.

Looking ahead we will then look at other Auxiliary cavalry and then the regular cavalry, the Lancers and Dragoons.


There will be other new releases announced before and after Salute covering all of the Emppress ranges. We are on stand TA26 at Salute so come and say hi.

See, now I know you're just teasing me! Change the helms to hats on the Buffalo Border Guard and you have Frontier Light Horse...

Clearly I need to sit down and work out how to sculpt upturned slouch hats. The last couple of attempts I wasn't happy with at all.
So many projects..... so little time.......

Very nice figures as usual :-*

@ Dewbakuk, why not use spare hats from Perry's plastic ACW sets and start from there?

At last, an officer, and with a splendid beard too!  ;)

I have just sent a preorder for Salute, so need to finish my other Zulu War figures this week now.
