Just finished assembling my officer, NCO, Standard bearer, drummer and infantry man. Converted the spare standard bearer into another basic infantry man. Added a sword to one of the light infantry figures so I can use him as a Rifles officer or Rifles NCO. (all Perry Miniatures)
Fourteen figures all together. Can't see me needing any more for a little while. This has to be the least expensive force I have bought and put together in thirty years of gaming. It would have been even cheaper had I chosen to go for the French.

I've just had a look at the Victrix box sets. Looks like they come in sets of 4 (4 officers, 4 drummers etc) so a box set could be split 4 ways, 15 figs each (for the highlanders or French sets, 13 figs for the regular british) for about 6gbp each plus postage, say $15 kiwi money.

I had a look last night at the cost. The postage adds another $26.
Lets see if we can inspire anyone else to join in.

Ahhhh, hadn't looked at postage costs.
There must be somewhere to get them from that doesn't charge such a high fee.
I'll have a look see.

Wayland Games seems to be 18gbp for a box and 3gbp for postage, so there are other options.
They have to special order them so it will be their standard 4-8 week delivery time |

Interesting, when you look for the Highlanders you dont find them listed, but your link exists. Very strange.
Arcane Models would be another option, they dont have the Highlanders listed at the moment but would probably get them in if we asked, and they have free shipping. I've dealt with him before and he is good, quick delivery.
