The Rorke’s Drift! battle-set may well be packed to the gunnels with superb terrain and miniatures but our Horns of the Buffalo set takes things to a different level! We’ve added to the contents of the Rorke’s Drift! set with loads more bespoke terrain to give you the ultimate Rorke’s Drift wargaming experience! You won’t want to miss out on this!

Below you’ll find images of some of the contents of this amazing set including Empress Miniatures’ Rorke’s Drift historical character pack containing Victoria Cross winners Lt.

In the Horns of the Buffalo you get these as well as representations of the characters from the film Zulu…

A key feature of the defence of Rorke’s Drift are the barricaded wagons – you’ll find two of these in the Horns of the Buffalo set!

The Horns of the Buffalo collectors edition of Rorke’s Drift contains the cookhouse and three ovens.

On of the most impressive elements of the Horns of the Buffalo set is this two part mealie-bag redoubt – another iconic element of the British defences.
