The stretcher party is amazing! Can't wait for that one!

Looking forward to those lists Rich! I'll continue painting Xhosa in the meantime  ;)

Quote from: Perry Miniatures Facebook Page
We have a few more new releases for the Cape Frontier Wars and WW2. There has been a bit of a backlog of codes at the mould making end of things but they are starting to come through now. There are three more packs of British infantry wearing shell jackets and forage caps which could also be used for fighting the Afghans, Chinese, Sikhs and Maoris in the 1840's or as the British Auxiliary Legion in Spain.

For the Cape Wars there's a Cape wagon and Xhosa command made and in the queue and of course the second volume of the book that should be in on Wednesday.

CAPE FRONTIER WAR BRITISH
CFB 9 Infantry marching, shell jackets and forage caps
CFB 10 Infantry advancing at trail, shell jackets and forage caps
CFB 11 Infantry Command wearing shell jackets and forage caps

That's a good excuse to get some of those Perry Afghans  ;)

I'm no expert so perhaps some of you may know, but isn't the head dress wrong for the Sikh Wars. I only ask because in the "blurb" it says they can be used against the Sikhs.
If Im wrong then I'm going to have to get some for my Sikh War collection ( oh the hardship).

Boers are next in line :

Also Michael has been adding to the Cape Warriors range with Boers, there are two codes pictured. There's another dismounted code finished as well as two mounted codes and one of women and children. All of these aren't out yet but should be in production in a few weeks. Michael has also made a Cape Wagon which can be used for settlers or the British army which will make an appearance about the same time.

Looks like I picked a bad time to read Mike Snook's book on the Cape Wars .... with illustrations by the Perrys .... and then find this thread.

Bum.

Excellent poses....after all these years, the Perrys still get better....
There seems to be something wrong with our bloody ships today...turn two points to port.
