Ah ha … the risk of my tragic demise by what is known to wargamers as ‘death by loss of lead mountain’ (see my previous post) may have been averted. This is because Perry Miniatures have just announced the release of British infantry who look like they’ll be perfect for the 1860s campaigns of the colonial New Zealand Wars. Buying a few of these may form the foundations of my replacement lead mountain.
Here are some pics from the Perry website:
And this is me (in Confederate uniform) with a British infantryman in campaign dress, taken during the British Intervention Force into the American Civil War … well, maybe!
DRESSING THE LINES 
I agree Roly, these are very tempting and should match well with the Maori figure from Empress.
My initial order for these has just this evening been submitted. My lead mountain is officially re-instated!
They are lovely minis saw them at a UK show a month or so ago, Always wanted to do an intervention force and had planned on it using French etc from Maximillian War a good few years ago. I nudge Perry on Facebook to no avail on doing some bush rangers 🙂
