'First Look' at the new Napoleonic French!

[Leon]

We've just got the first few masters for this range, with a lot more to come, but I thought I'd give people a bit of a peek as to what to expect.  We'll be storing these figures as they arrive for a big release to start 2011!  Remember, patience is a virtue!

Very nice indeed! Good detail, raised a bit which is nice for painting, and good choice of poses - looks like we'll get at least two variants per pose type? It's great to see a couple practical "march attack" and skirmish poses with some character, likewise the command set - the two officers in particular have a lot of a personality. It also looks like there is enough texture to the coat and trousers to take an ink wash pretty well. Good choice on the mix of "campaign" trousers along with some full dress details like the shako.

Looks like I better finish my ACW project this Fall and get ready for 2011!

Cheers,

Christopher

Cheers Christopher!  We're going for a couple of poses per pack, as a compromise between the gamers who want loads of poses, and the accurists who want them all regimented.  Hopefully this will please everyone!  The 'march attack' poses seemed the best ones to start with as well.

I'm holding off Napoleonics at the moment because these are coming.  Nice to see they are a reality now.  What nations are you doing.  Yes, I know French...

[Leon]

Starting with French and Austrians, plus some of the Allies for Wagram, then moving onto the British, etc.

vey nice sculpting indeed but what is the soldier doing with the musket between his legs 



As for the mounted officer - most likley for he sake of casting you chose that the end of the boots are on the same level as the belly of the horse?

[Peeler]

  Well. Looking good!

[Captain Verbeek]

I will buy some nice work.

He forgot the drill manual position unfortunately as people were firing at him...

I may buy just a few- just to keep your company going


Tres Bon, mon Ami, Cest magnifique!!
(didnt nar a cud tark French did yu??)

[von Winterfeldt]

This has nothing to do with forgetting the drill regulation, a most awkard position to load your musket, you would knock out your front man as well, the construction of the musket demands a certain way how to load it.  :

Yeah, I was just joking...!

Do people think it's enough of a problem to need the figure resculpting though?
