I just got the coolest resin bits and had to share with the other Pith-Helmet
fans!

I found this guy on Work in Progress. He was billing these as Zulu War and Boer
war cavalry bits but once you saw the pictures you KNEW they were praetorians
as true Zulu war uniforms did not have an Imperial eagle on the tunic or
shoulder boards with fringe!

I ordered 10. I got them 4 days after sending my pay pal payment. Only 1 piece
had a bubble and that was easily remedied with a dot of glue.

They fit perfectly on the horses made for the Empire Pistoliers. I did not
order any arms as I had enough spares. He does not have pith helmet heads YET
but he says many folks are using the ones from the plastic colonials. He is
workign with a sculptor to get some "lancer" arms made. Right now he has gun and
special weapon arms which when combined with Cadian legs would make stunning
Praetorian Infantry.

Also for heads, Ramshackle Games makes Pith helmets with gas masks (I own some
they are cool! And their customer service is GREAT! They had to hold my order
due to a molding back log so they sent me extra bits as way of I am sorry
offering!)

They also make turban heads which would make cool Bengal Lancer auxillery or
perhaps some Ghurka type troops to fight alongside the Praetorians

Hope this helps stir the creative juices
