These look great figures and what a smart looking diorama. I just need the three mounted Boers and a nice Perspex case as I have the base, wagon and Scottish troops. So I hope TG does not mind me copying?

Dear All
Welcome to a preview of some new figures for our Boer War series. For those of you on the look out for new Zulu War releases, these are also imminent and should be here in the very near future.

I like these new Boer Mounted Troops, however not something I would buy unless some Aussie Troops were produced for this conflict.
Do Gunn Minatures intend to make some Aussies for the Boer War range?
Yes the idea of these mounted Boers was so that could be in combat/being chased by mounted Aussies, which will make an appearance next year.

Like Breaker Morant
Terrific, another Aussie range to add to my collection.
Would be interesting to see a Breaker Morant figure.
Matt, what troops would you like, Colonial units or Australian from post Federation?
Then there are the 'British' units like Bushveldt Carbineers (with Breaker Morant) which was 40% Aussie .....!

All of them John :wink2:
Yes, and if they looked much like the troopers that are sculpted for our own Boer War Memorial in Canberra, they could most useful.
Here are a couple of my pics taken in 2018.

No need for a particular unit be labelled, just Australian just 'Mounted Rifles' or 'Imperial Bushmen' or 'Bushman Regiment' and then the individual can prefix that with the name of the Colony. Then following federation they could all be 'Australian Commonwealth Horse'
This site has heaps of information, images all about that conflict from an Aussie pint of view, so check it out here: http://www.bwm.org.au/index.php
