"1898 Churchill in 28mm" Topic

I am looking for a 28mm Winston Churchill figure. Should be in khaki uniform for the 2nd Boer War. Hertzog use to make one but they are apparently no more.

I'm sure any figure of the era would do just as well.

Yeah but it wouldn't be the same.

Reading Churchill a Life by Martin Gilbert, it's very good
And agree it won't be same

There was a special miniature made specifically for Young Winston (as per the movie) about ten years or so ago, it was a promotional release by one of the UK companies -- trying hard to remember who it was. They published a magazine as well and offered this freebie mini to the first bunch of folks who could send a photo of themselves with backissues of the mag. Let me go see if I can find my submission pic on another computer. Meanwhile, here's a picture of my Young Winston award, as I painted him, along with another mini of his older counterpart!

I've often stuck Young Winston in a colonial game as a special character; he gains points for doing deeds to get him mentioned in despatches, but woe to the player who gets him killed or captured! Makes for some interesting game twists!

Why doesn't someone make a mini of Old Winston with a submachine gun? That would offer similar possibilities for alternate history WWII games, or Pulp scenarios.
