Head Swapping

Good Lord, what a dreadful performance I've put on recently. Well, I've been painting models non-stop, and discovering new techniques and paints and all sorts of splendid things to apply to my Colonials.

Take a look at this chap. Basically, I've taken the head off a regular Indian infantryman, and the body of an officer, and stuck 'em together. Presto! Indian Officer, in this case, of Rattray's Sikhs.

Custom model of an Indian Officer.

And we have more exciting news! We are in discussions about the next planned figure release, and it's going to be a good one, because we're hoping to get several different heads on the same model! We hope to get the "British Infantryman Reloading" with a couple of different headpieces, an Indian, and maybe some others that have been suggested in the Forum. If you've got some ideas about this (for example, which uniform would be most adaptable for this venture, if any!) then get yourself into the forum soon!

Rorke's Drift
01 December 2004

The infamous battle of Rorke's Drift is recreated, where 40 men and officers of the 24th South Wales Borderers face 120 Zulus. This game is rather different from previous games we've played, because the British do not have to advance, and the terrain is much more open, allowing for some good shooting while the Zulus make their initial charge.
