British 24th Foot

Lt. Gonville Bromhead: Sixty! We dropped at least 60, wouldn't you say?
Adendorff: That leaves only 3,940.

 

First Legion is extremely pleased to present our newest figure range, the Anglo-Zulu War!!!   Part of a larger plan to cover the wars of the British Empire, we are launching the range with the iconic Great British 24th Regiment of Foot.   Elements of the regiment were heavily engaged in the desperate and heroic defense at Rorke's Drift where less than 150 British soldiers held off a Zulu force numbering close to 4,000.   In this action, the 24th Foot were awarded more Victoria's Crosses than any other single regiment in a single action in British military history.    Around the same time, the bulk of the regiment was decimated at the Battle of Islandawana where over confidence led to the annihiliation of the British and allied forces.  With the stunning sculpting and hand painting that is our hallmark, these wonderful new figures can be used in a wide variety of dramatic displays.    Zulu Warriors will follow up soon after the initial release.   We sincerely hope you enjoy them!
