Wargaming with Silver Whistle

The following pictures show 'Empress Miniatures' mounted and dismounted Buffalo Border Guard and Newcastle Mounted Rifles that were used by the British during the Zulu War.
Apart from the British Lancers this is the last of the horse that I need for my Zulu War collection, so my next post I will show the cavalry arm in all its glory.




I recently sold some figures on ebay (see last post) and to my pleasant surprise the name and address of the buyer for the Earl of Moray figure was non other than the family of this famous Earl and the address 'Darnaway Castle'. Do a search on the web for this castle and it gives you the history of the Earl of Moray. So I guess you could say that this little figure is going home.
  

This resin building was given to me by my good friend Steve Hall from 1066CAMPAIGN blogspot/Hallmark painting.co.uk
 I am not sure but I think it is a TM Terrain building and it is a lovely little model with lots of detail. Once again, I painted this up using household paints and a fairly big brush with lots of drybrushing, so it was nice and quick to do.

I had a few unpainted Lord of the Rings characters spare and unpainted which I thought would be ideal to use for Robin Hood and his Merry Men.
Scale wise, these fit in well with Perry or Foundry HYW figures. Some of the pictures also include Perry plastic War of the Roses bowmen.
I just need a suitable Little John figure now.
