"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.

Ah, addendum to the above posts -- this special Young Winston mini was released in 2017 and made available as a prize by Wargames Illustrated magazine (so the figure was produced by whoever published that. They sent these out to folks on their mailing list, I assume, who could send them photos showing them posed with their mags. I think it helped if they were vintage enough to prove loyal readership? Anyway, I hastily dug out a couple from my stack and put on my khaki drill tunic (not sure why I didn't grab my sun helmet) and got the wife to take a snap to submit. Sure enough, little Winnie arrived in due course, to my delight.

I've been looking for that miniature ever since. If anyone has one and they to sell or trade!!! Please!!! lol

Still looking. I will follow up with Piper's suggestion. SgtGuinness if you find a manufacturer please post here or PM me.

I have exhausted all my bookmarks and generic web searches. I found one that would work great but it is 54mm. So I guess I am resigned to use some generic British Boer War figure. I may be able to adapt some pulp figures I found. Surprising that Copplestone or Pulp Figures didn't have it. I am doing the skirmish that got him captured by the Boers and thought it would great to have a Churchill figure.

I got one! Thanks Rick!
