Empress Miniatures: "Heroes of Rorke's Drift"
« on: August 30, 2016, 11:48:05 PM »
Hi all,

I thought I share with you pictures of my first ever attempt painting some Victorian era Miniatures. I was given some Sets from Empress Miniatures depicting 1879 Anglo-Zulu War British. Compared to the Front Rank Figures I painted in the last few months, they are really slight and a lot more realistic in regards to poses and facial expressions. I just loved painting them. In particular the "Heroes of Rorke's Drift" Group, were my favourites.

I wanted to create a small Group of stubbon looking Defenders of Rorke's Drift and these figures represent that perfectly, in my opinion.

Please click on the links or visit my website for a lot more pictures of all the figures: http://www.sascha-herm.com/

Here is the whole squad: http://www.sascha-herm.com/AZW-Squad01.htm

Lieutenant Bromhead: http://www.sascha-herm.com/AZW02.htm



Private Henry Hook: http://www.sascha-herm.com/AZW03.htm

I hope you like them. Any comments are very welcome.

Kind regards

Sascha

Excellent work.   :)

Not sure about the eyes though.  If you look at painters' that "don't do eyes" they seem to use a much thinner line.

Only a minor point though.
