Heritage Miniatures - British Colonial range- 1882-1898

Review taken from 'New Releases Part 1'

The massive 60mm Colonial range from Heritage Miniatures has recently branched into three hand-to-hand combats between Naval Brigade figures and their Hadendowa opponents. Here, we see a Hadendowa warrior moving in for the kill against a Camel Corps officer who is trying to pull a felled, wounded trooper to safety.

It’s a nice touch to get height into the piece by putting the warrior on top of the fallen camel to assert his ascendency. The camel is nicely posed and his raised head gives additional animation to the set, the facial expressions are entirely appropriate and the difficulty of this particular rescue is well depicted and captures the desperation of the moment. Both bases are good and detailed and varied weaponry is on show.

I’ve said before I think that some collectors may prefer a bit more blood and gore than is seen here but The Rescue is a nicely executed and well thought-out vignette which holds tension because the outcome could go either way. There are bags of other complimentary figures of both sides in this range to build around this vignette.

The Rescue costs £80 painted. Castings are not available.
