Empress Miniatures: Gorgeous 1840 sailors and artillery!


Announcement from Empress Miniatures: We are delighted to introduce the next releases in our 'Maori Wars' range, with the arrival of theBritish Naval Shore Parties! These wonderfully characterful figures capture the spirit of the Victorian sailor brilliantly, and are dressed in the earliest 'official' uniform of the British Navy. For this reason they are not only useful for New Zealand, but would be equally at home in the Crimea or Indian sub-continent.




The infantry packs retail at £7.00 while the gun and crew retail for £17.00, a bargain considering the additionnal firepower you buy, say goodbye to that Maori Pa!


This release includes command, personalities, ratings and a colossal 32-pounder naval artillery piece with full crew. This huge gun was brought ashore and used in sieges against Maori Pas and makes a unique addition to any mid-nineteenth century army! Absolutely gorgeous, what do you think?
