Master lists for the Napoleonic French and Austrians!

[Hertsblue]

When you say "not compatible with the current Peninsular ranges" is that because they're bigger, smaller, bulkier or just better sculpted?

The older figures are nice sculpts when you consider how old they are, but they're a bit taller and thinner than these new ones.  I've not got any to hand to compare though, I'll see if I can get some shots taken.

There's some pics of the current Peninsulars in Nik's batrep here: http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=117.0

"For releases, I'm estimating sometime around July or August I think.  I've got a load of odds and ends to get released in March, then Sci-Fi in April, ACW in May, and I'm leaving June spare just in case!"

Would it be possible to get an idea of what will be released this year and approximate times for the Napoleonic ranges please?

This would be great for planning what can be achievable this year. Thanks

I cannot find the list of what the 1809 ranges is eventually going to cover, has this been pruned?

Cheers, Rob

I've only got rough estimates of what we'll have and when unfortunately, there's no master list of what we're releasing each month.  The French artillery are hopefully going to go into the March releases, which fills that particular hole.  After that the next Naps release will be the Austrian Cav, which would be somewhere in the next 6 months.  Beyond that I couldn't tell you, it all depends on what arrives from the designer and how much time we've got for getting things moulded up.

The Wagram list is here: http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,4400.0.html

Leon, any chance we can get some photos of the Austrian artillery from the 1812 Moscow line?  And does the 1812 artillery represent 6 or 12 pdr artillery?  I know I am going to need Austrian artillery within a month or two and the 1812 Austrian artillery may fill the immediate needs until the new artillery is available.

There was a pic posted recently which I think is the 1812 gun, although it's hard to tell from the distance in this pic:

Dave reckons it's a 6pdr.

[Rob]

Thanks for the info Leon.

I presume the 1812 ranges will not be replaced in the near future, so could you put up some pics of these ranges please? The same type as you have for the 1809 range. It would be particually useful to get some pics of Austrian limbers and guns.

Cheers, Rob

We've been chatting with the designer about some of the outstanding items on the French lists here, but the main delay at the moment is the time required to research all the Guard types, to find out the differences in uniforms, and whether a single sculpt would cover two or more types? 

So, do any of our more knowledgeable Nap afficionado's have any info they can share to quicken up the process?  These are the ones we're looking at:

Guard Tirailleur Chasseurs
Infantry
Drummer
Standard
Mtd Officer

Guard Tirailleur Grenadiers
Infantry

Guard Fusilier Chasseurs

(PS, We've got Guard Grenadiers already, but I need to check on whether they are the Guard Fusiliers or Guard a Pied type.)

Have you been supping of the tincture of the Blue Lotus, which all men know cause many hours of wakefullness? If so, beware! The azure libation give but short term advantage, those who drink too deeply are oft found wandering mumbling incoherently sad tales of loss or frightful tales of demons who writhe from the shadows to judge souls and take to the very outer gates of hell those that displease them. For the lucky, there may be a long sleep, riven with dark dreams in which one's nethers are always uncovered, and impossible tasks are repeated again and again for a fruitless eternity. For those less fortunate, there is only descent into chaos and madness in which friends appear as fuit bats, and family as horned bison - except for 2nd cousins whose ghastly form is that of a Portugese Cacadore, about 1810. Beware then, good Leon, beware and thrice beware! The Blue Lotus is like the hag who plies her trade in the seediest of watering holes (I'm sure you know them) who covers her ugliness with artful artifice and who can entice men into an embrace that offers but little comfort. Then comes the awakening, the realisation of the evil that you have wrought upon your own person, the terror of uncertainty, and the inevitable collapse into foulness.

Or was it just the bladder playing up?

Sorry. What I meant to say was "do you have any plans for the Engineers, Marines and Gunners?"

[Aart Brouwer]

Superb Nice to see the lesser states being covered too

Seconded 

Cheers,

Wow - I have the osprey range, but that is a comprehensive list!

Blue Lotus wouldn't smell of petrol, by any chance, would it?

Blue lotus is fine with a dash of lemon, but I think I missed the obvious answer. Leon arrives at show before the cock crows and does not depart until tye last radiance of the sun has faded. He has never been seen to eat a mini garlic chicken kiev.

I cry NOSFERATU!

Sorry. What I meant to say was "do you have any plans for the Engineers, Marines and Gunners?"

If I am not mistaken Engineers (http://www.pendraken.co.uk/NPF12-p5662/) and Marines (http://www.pendraken.co.uk/NPF11-p5661/) are already out? As to gunners of the guard, the line horse artillery fellows (http://www.pendraken.co.uk/NPF28-p6366/) would actually do better as Guard Horse Artillery because they all come with a colpack. To my knowledge only the guard had that. The line horse artillery had shakos (otherwise they looked the same).
