'First Look' pictures of the new Napoleonic British!

[Steve J]

I think the Light Infantry should have a kneeling figure a la the Centre Company figure on the right, as this would really allow for some varied basing as well as individaul figures for skirmish games. Just my two penneth.

Would it be possible to have a "Master List" of the intended new models in the style of the 1809 range please?

Leon, I am very interested in the extra 1815 French you have mentioned. Can you give an idea yet of what you are going to provide, please. You already have the French Lancer but will their be any more?


Cheers, Rob

It's not something we've really discussed properly at this point, so I couldn't give you much of an idea unfortunately.  We have had a request for some later Carabiniers, so those will probably be getting done.  If there's anything which you think would be essential, let us know and we'll make sure it gets included.

Hi,

Excellent on the late Carabiniers. Not necessarily 1815 specific, but filling some of the gaps in the 1809 French range would also come in handy for 1815, including generals and marshals, guard chasseurs a cheval, polish lancers, 12 pdr guns, and the loading figure for the firing line!

Leon, you said "With the Waterloo anniversary coming up soon, we'll be concentrating on getting everything done for that period....."  Does this mean we'll have to wait until 2107 for Peninsula types?

[fsn]

No. It'll be the 198th anniversary.

Hi Leon,

Anything you do for French in 1815 will be completely compatible with 1812 so you will be killing 2 birds so to speak.

The French in 1815 will be the equipped according to the 1812 Bardin regulations.

They affected all arms but you can probably get away without changing the cavalry other than producing types available after 1809 such as the French lancer and the change to the 2 Carabinier regiments. These types all being present at Waterloo.

Infantry and Young Guard are visually most affected. The infantry has a different look to earlier types so if you're only a tiny bit of a purist you will prefer the infantry in the later dress regs.

There is no difference that I can see between the 2 young guard types, so a simple young guard type will suffice. They also seem to be exactly the same uniform as the light infantry elite companies.

Nobody to my knowledge does a correct young guard figure for 1812-15 in any scale. It would be fantastic to get some. I need at least 2 divisions of young guard for my 1813-14 army.

Cheers, Rob

We've got a couple of months worth of sculpts here, completing the majority of the foot and cavalry in our initial lists.  We're still aiming to get these moulded and released in the summer, so not too long to wait on this lot!

Next month should bring the artillery, and maybe some personalities...
