'First Look' pics of the new ACW range!

[Nosher]

These look great

Not quite sure on the kneeling/sitting figure and what he's doing? Its a bit like running figures. I always think they look out of place in units

I'll check the designers notes, but I think he's 'waiting' or something along those lines.  We were just wanting a nice variety of poses so that the firing lines could have that random feeling.  As always though, if people didn't want that one, we'd just supply a pack of the other 3!

those look great, ACW is definitely on my list for 2012

Looking good  now we need to see some Cavalry figures for both sides and Generals

Woah, slow down, we'll get there!   

Cavalry/artillery probably won't be seen for a couple of months yet, as the designer will work through the foot types first.

Nice stuff. You can put me down for 25 packs each of the marching and advancing for both sides. I can’t wait to see more.

This just is not fair! I had pushed the ACW figs to the back of the cupboard. I thought 'out of sight - out of mind'. Then you pull this one on us......
The're pretty damn special looking and I'm going to need lots.
Bugga.
Bang goes the savings for the Aston Martin!

Just when I start thinking of doing ACW in 10mm I see this! Any idea when the new range will be released? I suspect sometime in the new year...

[Leon]

As a rough estimate, we'd probably be looking at March/April time, as we want to have a good bunch of codes in the first batch.

Here's the latest batch of masters from the designer, with both standing and advancing varieties of command for both sides.  Plus, we've got the first set of Zouaves, which we'll be converting into different headwear further down the line.

Union:



Confed:



Zouaves:

The Confederate pikemen look interesting.

[maciek]

Not bad, not bad ...

Could we see the back of zouaves ? Designers tend to underequip them very often.
One must remember that they must be equipped with cartridge box, bayonet in scabbard, cap box and canteen at least, to be able to fight. Haversack also was the personal item - I mean the thing that was not left somewhere before the battle as happaned with backpack.

I WILL resist the temptation to re-do my 15mm ACW armies, just like I'm STILL resisting (only just) the temptation to re-do my 15mm ECW armies. But all these shiny new sculpts is making it hard.
