The decision for bigger camel riders was the right one. I painted their predecessors and found them too small too.

To complement the last round’s Schutztruppen camel riders, I’m most excited with the Schutztruppen – Skirmishers pack:



To provide leadership, we have von Lettow-Vorbeck, in both mounted and on-foot versions:



Oooh, simply perfect Jason! Pauline von Lettow-Vorbeck is a must-have.  :D I´m looking forward so much to paint these to reinforce my little force of DOA Schutztruppe!

That's easily remedied with a bit of greenstuff...


True - one of the easier greenstuff fixes.

I just feel bad for people who, like you, bought the old ones and were disappointed.  I wish I could simply send free replacements, but I could never afford that.  What I did for one woman, however, was I paid her S&H.  That was relatively easy as she had only purchased the Camel Train though.  I also considered offering replacements of just the riders for some small sum, but my caster doesn't seem very open to partial-casting orders.

I'd love to see her added to your collection.   ;)  Just keep in mind that Hinterland minis are a little on the small side, as shown here:




I don't feel bad about this as women, especially women of the day, were simply smaller than men.  But your Brigade minis might dwarf her.

Don´t worry, they´re alright and I´m not disappointed at all.

I´ve got your Hussars too. They look alright next to my other miniatures as well. Like you say - females are often smaller and more slender than men.

Any thoughts on which company for IHMN these Schutztruppen might match?

I ordered von Letton-Vorbeck/on foot, the new version of the Camel Train and the Celebration Set last night.  Love the Hinterland ladies.  Richard
