Is he missing a hand?
Good job on the horse, I hate painting them.

Actually, not seen this figure before. Was he a Salute release that's not on the site yet? I've just had a look and can't see him.

Yeah, just noticed in the other thread. Apparently the new figs just aren't on the site yet.

As he did in real life. An Assegai wound to his elbow left him with a paralysed arm which he would support by sticking it in his jacket.
He's a lovely figure, the dismounted version is great with his revolver hanging by a cord. Paul Hicks has captured the look perfectly with his long drooping moustache.

Really nice figure... forgive me if I'm thick but did the actual, real life, character had is hand amputated or not?

I don't believe so. I've been told he did keep it tucked into his jacket though.

:o Oh my God! So Paul Hicks isn't perfect? I'm shocked! lol

Once again, that’s a really nice figure… as always with Paul’s stuff… My wallet really hate him ;)

No he's not. If he was perfect there'd be a head sprue wearing slouch hats to convert the other troops...

Nice work David on Dunford. Paul has scupt a lovely looking miniature.

How are you incorporating the single figures in the rule set you developed? Counters for some reaction?

Cheers,

Helen

Hi David,

Wonderful paint job....

Did Durnford carry a sword after Bushmans Pass, when it was so bent that it would not fit in to its scabbard?

Also I believe that 'Chieftain' (his horse) was a grey.

No idea about the sword, I'm afraid and hate painting greys period! ;)
