Plastic British Infantry update.

[joroas]

We received the first shots of the command frame from Renedra at the weekend for the British Infantry 1877-85 Afghanistan/Sudan. They will still need a little tweaking but just about there and Renedra have again done us proud! The intention is to release them at Salute (16th April), so fingers crossed. We’ve included a few pictures of them hurriedly stuck together over the weekend.

You’ll notice that there is a Free metal figure that we’re giving away to customers buying 3 boxes of the Brits.

Michael’s also started on some metal Afghan’s to complement them. These will be part of a range we’re calling ‘Victoria’s Little Wars’ (VLW) and include occasional dips into various smaller wars of her reign. Any figures from other ranges that would overlap will be pointed out, for example, some of the shell jacketed infantry we’re producing for the up coming Cape Frontier Wars range can be used with the jezail armed Afghans for the First Afghan War.

Very nice! Liking those Afghan's too, hope we see a box of those in plastic at some point.

Nice.  I like the pose of the officer with his hand behind his back having a pop at the natives. 

Looks like it'll be a very versatile box (though, God only knows how Richard will fit these into GoT...). 

With these, the cape war range, Congo and Tmwwbk it looks to be a bumper year for Africa!

The afghans are superb

[traveller]

Perry Afghans!  look even better than the great ones they made for Foundry

[Prof.Witchheimer]

The Afghans are gorgeous. No excuse any more for me not to start a NWF project.

Dam you Perry brothers.
Another way to get more money from me.
Love the figures.

[Captain Blood]

Splendid. And finally some more companions for the best figures Foundry ever made 

[OSHIROmodels]

I like this, rather than do full ranges, just fill in gaps here and there

[Brian Smaller]

Apart from the puttees, is there any real difference between the uniform and that of the Zulu War/First Boer War period?

[abelp01]

Plastic Pathans!!

[fastolfrus]

Tmwwbk

? Some kind of East European (or Welsh?) company that I've not heard of?

[khartoum2]

These look interesting - maybe something late this year that can pop up in the 11th LPL
