New Scruby Miniatures (1965)

Sudan War 1880-98

by Donald Featherstone

There are newly designed figures standing 25mm in height 15/16th inch) which match the British "20mm" scale as sold by Alberken and Hinton Hunt,

Scruby Miniutures intends to specialize in this period, and new figures will be continually added of various armies of this period during. the months to come.

The models listed below are only the first to come. These models are troops of the "River War of 1898," featuring the British and Egyptians versus the Sudanese. Future figures which will become available, will give you a "balanced" opposing force of natives and white troops for good wargaming.
