'First Look' pictures of the new Napoleonic British!

How are we looking, Sir, any word?

I'm really looking forward to sending you a bunch of my money

We've been waiting on a delivery of rubber to arrive so that we can mould the artillery carriages.  Once those are done, we'll launch the first 70% of the range so that it's out there.  The remaining odds and ends can follow on in a separate release. 

Too many shows at the moment, by the time you've unpacked and restocked from one, you're packing the van again for the next.

200th anniversary is iconic!

Every other figure manufacturer has made a huge effort Baccus started 5 years ago
It's almost as though someone at the company didn't want to produce british and Prussian figures
and when they turn up a couple of years too late they can say no one wanted them any way.

All this year clubs will be putting on games of :-

Quatre Bras, Ligny, Wavre and most of all Waterloo.

Rules produced like Blucher just in time but there aren't any 10mm figures that look right.
I know one group who are using 6mm. but the would have preferred 10mm.

Leon,

I appreciate the response, thanks a bunch, but I'm with Ian: hurry up!   

Do we have any kind of timeline, i.e., any idea when you might receive the needed supplies, then how much longer after that before the 70% hits the street?  Sorry to keep pestering, but the desire is burning me up right now; gotta strike while the iron's hot

Dragoon - "200th anniversary is iconic!"  Is that really a big deal to folks?  I don't suppose I've ever let 'real life' dates/anniversaries factor into my gaming life, other than the fact I look at every holiday as time off work I can get more gaming/painting in   But I've never sat down and thought, "I need to wait until 2020 to run my 1940 Fall of France campaign on the 80t anniversary of the event."  Man, I'd never get anything done!

V/R,
Jack

To be honest the only "anniversary" game I'm aware of for this year is a couple of friends intending to do an Agincourt game on the 600th anniversary in October.

I THINK they were joking when they said that for the 600th anniversary it should be done in 1:600 scale

Looking after my father for two and half years trumps making moulds for toy solders, no matter what anniversary comes up.

Well said Dave. Family first.

Well said Dave

Bigjackmac, you may have missed the thread that explained that casting new masters had been delayed due to Dave's Dad suffering from dementia and the extra load this had put on Dave and all the family.

I can't find the thread at the moment or I would link to it

201st anniversary next year.  That"s time enough.

[bigjackmac]

Dave,

I hadn't seen the thread, sorry to hear about your familial problems; I read it and it seems like, and I hope, things are better.

I am still interested in figuring out if there is a timeline on the release?  I'm not complaining, don't care about any anniversaries, just curious when I can look at getting me some more 10mm goodness. 

V/R,

Thanks Michael & Bigjackmac

It should be within the next 2 weeks, the majority of the moulds are all done apart from the artillery carriages, rocket troops and high command, so we've got the foot, command, cavalry for people to be getting started with.  I just need to find a spare day to cast them all off and blackwash them for the web photos.  With the 3 shows in 4 weekends, there's just no spare time for anything at the moment.

there's just no spare time for anything at the moment.

Can I use that excuse, so I don't have to do the figures that Dave's just sent down ? 
I'll squeeze them in.  ......Somehow !!
