The Fighting Cook, sometimes known as the Butcher of Rorkes Drift!, 24th Regiment of Foot, Anglo-Zulu Wars--single figure wielding two knives and large cooking pot
Company Cook turned defender, but he is certainly not befitting the ‘Thin’ red line title of our typical Redcoat.
Our latest Zulu War release is a big lad, but then again, never trust a thin cook, so the saying goes!
In the excellent film, "Zulu", the Cook, named Bryce, doused the camp fires with the ingredients from his cooking pots, and was later killed with an assegai spear in the back, while distributing ammunition. Our version of Bryce shows him giving the Zulus as good as he gets..
The Zulu War
A return to the Zulu war with a vengeance, with over 15 new figures planned for this year! A long time ago in a far off universe we made some Redcoats firing downwards from a British wagon made by Britains, these were very popular and sold out very quickly. Since then, JJD have added their excellent looking wagons to the mix, so we now decided that it was time for a makeover, and have remade these figures; this time with improved painting and in shirt sleeve order, which means they can be from just about any Regiment or branch of service that fought in the campaign.

Due to be released in JUNE 2026.
