June 2020 Figures (2 Viewers)

[NZGary]

Unfortunately I couldn't resist this months releases and have reserved all but the dead Zulu. Really glad TG has gone for the Boer War. It was a gap in my collection with only a few old Britan's figures to my name. Then Team Miniatures came to the recue this month and now TG. It will be great to expand my collection for this conflict that has been rather overlooked in matte for far too long.

It was a bit of a rush yesterday and some photos were not added to the forum due to bad internet and lack of time. Here are some more of the Rudel set which really is an excellent piece IM humble O. Still working on the quality of the photos from the office studio - apologies in advance for some of them!

I agree, it's great to see the Boer War being covered in Matte. Both Thomas Gunn and Team Miniatures are doing a nice job covering it.

I think these 2 will be seated in my man cave next month. Photos are fine, certainly rather have these earlier than supposedly some better quality ones in the distant future. Robin.

The Rudel set looks fantastic (love the sitting figures), and I really like those display mats! {bravo}}

Victorian Wars (New Series)

The Second Boer War was fought between the British empire and the Boers who were settlers mainly of Dutch origin living in the South African Republic and the Orange Free State. Initially the Boers were successful and won some notable victories which galvanised the British government to send more troops to the troubled region.

Soldiers from all over the British empire took part in the long bloody conflict including Australia, New Zealand and Canada. Eventually through conducting a scorched earth policy, the rounding up of civilians into concentration camps and overwhelming military numbers on the battlefield, led to more and more Imperial victories and eventually the British empire forced the Boers to the negotiating table in 1902. All is fair in love and war as they say.

Our first figures are from the Seaforth Highlanders, who fought in South Africa during this campaign. For those of you who collect this era these troops could also be used in the Sudan and Afghanistan. We will be expanding the series next month with more Highlanders including some epic twin sets and Boers. To follow later in the year will be Australian cavalry and Canadian artillery.

A big thank you to Marco from Italy who helped with the uniforms and equipment for this series.

Hi,
Excuse my ignorance, but does anybody know if these figures are compatible with the Sudan in 1885 or 1898 or neither? I've never seen 'slouch hats' in any Sudan war's pictues. Just wondering.

The slouch hat figures will not be compatible, the others will. However we will more than likely make B versions with headwear suitable for Sudan later on.

I love the idea of the slouch hat and the helmet. TGM has always been good with the A and B options. I know it's rarely said but, "electric in the air" with the Boer War series.
