We've moved one of the sculptors away from Napoleonics to give him a bit of a break, so he's been working on some WWI expansions instead.
In this batch we've got:
British - Firing, tropical dress

Good to see Leman making an appearance.
Tre stumps with maps... ooh, yes... 8)
Now there's a command base necessity if ever I saw one...
Crikey, the Grand Duke is about 15mm sized to the Tsars 10mm :D
And yes, nice to see you getting some fame there Leman ;)

Eh? Wha? Uh? :-\
My moniker is from the Belgian General Leman, Lem, and now he has his own figure :-bd
Maybe one day Belgians in shako and feldmutzen and a Minerva armoured car.
What Leman/the artist formerly known as DP/Andy said :D
Or if it's the Archduke size comment, look at the photo's - compared to the Tzar he appears to have been manufactured in a larger scale ;)
Is Lem taking time out of his busy day, or is he a member of the NUT, sticking it to the "public school" establishment and shoving a plum where it really hurts!
It was breaktime!
;D
NASUWT... :P
Thanks for the comments!

Not sure, I'll have to ask the guy to see what he's using... :-\

Ah yes, the happy crew to which I belonged. Found the other lot a bit too militant for my taste. Down tools infrequently and only when it really matters for maximum effect.
Very nice Phil
Hello Leon
Nice sculpts again :). Saw the infantry in tropical dress and helmet. Are we expanding the wolseley wearing infantry at all with this (or a later) expansion?
Cheers

We've got some Lewis guns and gun crews coming in the wolseley, and possibly a couple of infantry figures as well.
OooPPS sorry Phil I thought they had let you out to a real period not those dammed spear chucking Gauls
Nah !!
Not me, Matey. ;)
Cheers - Phil.
Those dismounted uhlans are very nice, I need a lot of them. Thanks.
Just wondering when these, and the High Command figures from the later thread, are likely to be available?
Sometime in October I think, we've not had the rest of the sculpts through yet so we've not put them into the master moulding queue.

Well given my painting pile that'll be fine. ;D Thanks for the prompt reply.

Great news as in November the 10mm WWI Germans and Belgians will be getting some paintbrush attention. I'll be needing a break from 3mm ACW by then.
Lovely figures, with the British firing poses, I didn't realize the the steel helmet was worn on tropical service, will the figures also be posed with the Wolseley tropical service pith helmet?
Really looking forward to any possible Mesopotamian additions.
cheers
