New Zulu War and Modern US packs
We have added new figures to both our Zulu War and Modern Combat ranges.
Firstly we have 'historical' versions of our Rorke's Drift characters - Bromhead, Chard, Colour Sargeant Bourne and Private Henry Hook. These are based on their appearance at the time of the battle.
Next we have Nguni cattle in our Terrain and Accessories section.
Coming right up to date we have two new sets of American special forces in our Modern Combat range. Special Forces in light equipment and Special Forces 'Delta' in the latest 'high-speed' kit.
Small Update: SCW Heads Sets
Just a small update this weekend, but we have added five new head-sets to our Spanish Civil War range. There are some very useful sets there including bare heads and Assaltos Caps.
Available in our shop now.
Modern US Soldiers Now Available
We are very pleased to announce the release of our 28mm Modern United States infantry figures. These highly detailed miniatures carry the latest US military equipment and are available with a useful range of support weapon options such as the M14 rifle, the AT4 and M240.
Whether deployed in the world's 'hot-spots' or cutting their way through the zombie horde, these figures make a fantastic addition to a modern figure collection.
We will be adding to this range regularly, with US specific special forces figures due very soon and additional head/helmet options (NVG etc.) to come.
New SAS Quad Bikes and Modern US Infantry Preview
We are very pleased to showcase the next expansion to our Modern Combat ranges. For the SAS we have two quad-bikes, ideal for transporting operatives and mission critical equipment across the worls hot-spots.
Both riders are designed to pair up with dismounted figures in our exisitng SAS range to add extra realism and continuity to your forces. The bikes come with a host of stowage and accessories to give them an authentic 'in the field' look.
We are also very excited to be able to show off the first of our modern US forces which will be available very soon. Most of the infantry utilise a seperate head system for added flexibility.
These will be suported by SpecOps teams etc.
There are a lot of images available in our 'Workbench' section right now.
New Rules at Empress
We have new rule sets available for ordering right now in our shop.
Firstly we have the new Triumph and Tragedy Colonial rule supplements.
The T&T Colonial Supplement will provide you with new rules and army lists for the Colonial Age and will enable you to play small skirmishes as well as larger battles set in the zenith of colonialism, the 19th century.

Although this book is primarily designed as guideline to recreating the battles of the British Empire and its adversaries, you can easily adopt these rules for any colonial conflict on every continent.
This publication represents a great step forward for the series and is a packed full colour publication. Stock is due during the week starting 24th May, but we are offering customers the chance to order now for swift delivery.
Socondly, we have the last of the 'Very British Civil War' Source books - The Fall of Empire. The last volume looks at how the Civil war plays out in the Empire. As well as the usual faction rivalry, a weak Empire invites the attention of Independence movements, Dictators and ambitious Imperial Powers. India, the Americas, Middle East, East Africa and the Far East are amongst the areas included.
We are also offering a deal where you can purchase the three current VBCW source books at a special price, with combined postage! An ideal way to introduce yourself to this fascinating 'period'.
New Zulu War British 9pdr Guns Sets
Our latest release is the British 9pdr gun on kaffrarian carriage. This beautifully detailed kit is available with two different crew options - aiming and firing. Both sets are available in our online shop now.
We currently have some very exciting releases planned for all of our ranges, the first of which we will be showcasing soon!
Spanich Civil War Republican Command Group
Continuing our run of weekly releases, we have added an impressive Republican command group vignette to our Spanish Civil War range. It shows members of headquarters staff gathered around an improvised map table (complete with someones lunch) and includes useful figures such as dismounted cavalry and a field telephone operator.

As you might expect, we have many new releases coming soon for all of our ranges!
New Zulu War Figures
We are very pleased to announce the most recent expansion to our extensive Anglu-Zulu War range. We have added magnificent mounted and dismounted models of Colonel Anthony William Durnford, one of the most colourful characters of the period.
We also have a set of ensigns for the regular British infantry complete with finely detailed poles on which to mount your unit colours. 
As you would expect, we have plenty of new releases lined up for all of our ranges over the next few weeks and months.
No Pasaran!
We have just added a new pack of Miliciana female militia to our Spanish Civil War range. They can be found in the Republican Forces section and include a light machine gun team (one of whom is modelled on one of the Empresses herself) and a standard bearer.
New Auxiliary Cavalry.
We have now released the last of our auxiliary cavalry packs representing those units that were present at Isandlwana.
We planned to cover these units in relatively small numbers because the historic units were small in the campaign. The figures released so far give the gamer twelve troopers plus a command figure which is fairly standard to many of the Colonial rules currently available. We will now look at horse holders for these units.
In the area of cavalry next in line will be Imperial Mounted Infantry, Natal Mounted Contingent and Boers. Not necessarily in that order. Looking ahead we will focus on other Auxiliary cavalry and then the regular cavalry, the Lancers and Dragoons.
Lots of new Terrain Scenics including Spanish Church!
We have just added lots of new items to our Spanish Civil War Terrain and Scenics shop. There are lots of handy wall sections which would do for many periods and genres of game. We've also added our new Spanish Church. This is a real 'Wow' piece, with lots of extra details and a very tall separate tower - all including removable roof sections and additional metal details such as doors etc..
Just Released - Italian LMG teams for Abyssinia and SCW Armoured Truck
The new releases are coming thick and fast at the moment. Today we have released the Abyssinian Invasion version of our Italian LMG teams. 
We are also pleased to announce the return of the Tallares Rio-Tinto armoured truck. This strange beast is typical of the improvised armour found during the Spanish Civil War.
Rorkes Drift Characters (part 1) - The 'Hollywood' version
We are very happy to show our latest Zulu War release - the 'Hollywood' versions of some of the most famous personalities of the Anglo-Zulu War. Bromhead, Chard, Colour Sargeant Bourne and Private Henry Hook.
These will be partnered very soon with a set that shows these famous people as they really were. We've had so many requests for both representations that the only option for us was to do a pack of each!
These and all of our new releases will all be available at Salute this year. We will be on stand TA26.
