1st Afghan War new range by Studio miniatures
« on: October 04, 2015, 06:00:28 PM »
Studio Minaitures have announced on their Facebook page a new Kickstarter project for the 1st Afghan War coming soon.

I believe their Sikh Wars range has been popular, so those looking for something else besides the Usual NWF stuff may find this interesting.

I find the First Afghan War more interesting by far. I had a book on it once. Hmmm ... maybe I can borrow it back from the fellow I gave it to. I just couldn't any miniatures at the time!

Oh. Oh dear. I wanted to do that, skirmish-style, ever since I first read Flashman, but managed to avoid it on the excuse that I couldn't find figures I liked. But Studio Miniatures... oh dear.

I look forward to seeing what Studio Miniatures come up with.
I have a few books on the war.
They are somewhere out in the mess of my garage.
Lots of interesting ideas on battles.
In  the early 1990's I purchased some figures of this period from Richard Houston.
Limited to 100 sets of 50 figures.
Not great figures, but not bad.

I could have sworn that I'd posted a reply!

Sounds like a great project and Stuart is good at this sort of thing so they should be great looking mini's.

I'd do the First Afghan War (probably at skirmish level given current commmitments) that's for sure :)

Interested, I do prefer the earlier wars. How about a figure of Dr Brydon on his knackered horse.
