Third Afghan War

However, I probably shouldn't be speculating on such things in the midst of Ignatieff's thread about his own forthcoming NWF range, which I'm very much looking forward to 

One always need hero figures. I am sure I will buy whatever he produces.

Is there such a thing as too many anything when we're talking good-looking figures. 

Incidentally, I was sculpted by Bob Murch.

Slightly puffed up and cartoonish then?

Gender ambiguity is also often mention in association with Pulp Figures

Sorry Ignatieff... Going to stop derailing your thread now...

Please, dont.  Its what makes this place special.

As regards 'charging afghans attacking forts', what kind of poses would work best chaps?

[Earther]

Charging and/or attacking.

  You're not far off actually... I don't have that hat.

Or at least the members

I think a couple with the rifles over their heads running madly/uselessly could work but the general 'attack' pose would work but with a bit more forward motion if that makes sense

Gotcha!

Another good book, or better excellent, is
the Frontier Scouts by Charles Chevenix Trench.
With lot of great pictures.

For the new range I' m on that list , I'll buy tens of them.

I would heartily welcome any new figures for the North West Frontier. In fact I'd give someone else's right arm for them.

I was talking to Empress about 12 months ago and at that time they were planning a range for Chitral. Also whilst I'm not usually a fan Old Glory do passable Pathans including some armed with magazine rifles - a few odd poses but nowhere near as off as many of their ranges (the Indian regulars appear to use the same old dollies though).

Excellent book, seconded.

[Paul @ Empress Miniatures]

Hi All,

Well to put you all out of your misery, especially Ignatieff who has been desperate to say something, we can announce that we are working on this range with Steve.

Paul Hicks will be the sculpter.

First up will be a unit of tribesman, many of which would be suitable for earlier campaigns.

Figures will start to be worked on in August so should be available October / November. 

Lots of plans for this and other linked ranges in what will be the beginnings of a range called 'Jazz Age Imperialism" covering many other Interwar conflicts.

Kind regards,

Paul and the Empress team
