New WW1 Australian and Indian cavalry in British Service.
Some new additions to our new range of Australian and Indian WW1 cavalry.

There are now more dismounted types in different poses for each range. These have been packed together but can be order by poses separately by email. TMP link
The packs work out a little cheaper to buy and are all available at shows from our self service racks. TMP link
It is our intent to not carry any or very very few loose or separate casting to shows. We rarely, if ever get asked for them as people seem to TMP link

These look great. Loads of great detail. I think the Aussie Light Horse may make up another VBCW unit! |

Definitely some of the better sculpted 6mm figures I've seen. Congrats! |

Whatever the scale, what are those cure little weapons on bipods and things sticking out the sides? |

Strictly speaking the weapon is a Hotchkiss automatic rifle, not a machine gun. The latter was a tripod mounted weapon that was larger and heavier. The Hotchkiss automatic rifle was also fed using a metal strip that held the ammunition. It was used by cavalry and light horse in place of the Lewis gun, which was issued to the infantry. The manual for the automatic rifle refers to it as the Hotchkiss machine gun. In WW1, the distinction (at least in the British army) related to the fact that tripod mounted MGs could be fired in indirect mode, for example in MG barrages on hidden targets. Bipod mounted weapons like the Hotchkiss automatic rifle could not be used in this way. Robert |
