New 19th Century Italian Range

[mollinary]

Hi Leon,

Any news on when these are likely to hit the casting queue?

Best,

Mollinary

[Leon]

We're still waiting on the artillery pieces to arrive for them, and then it'll be into the queue behind the WWI extension, the Nap Brunswickers and the last two Warband armies.

WWI extension

the last two Warband armies.

You can't just sneak that kind of stuff in on the end of something else. 

Do tell more

I didn't think I was sneaking anything, the WWI sculpts were previewed here months ago!

And the two Warband armies have been mentioned several times, it's the Eldritch Vampires and the Samurai Apes.  These are both almost production moulded, just 2 moulds left to be done.

[fred.]

Ahah! Those figures.

Well it will good to get them available.

Keep a close eye on those Italian greens, they might run away !

[Ithoriel]

They won't be able to, the Germans will have stolen all their transport!

[holdfast]

Well I can fully understand why a miniatures firm with great commitment to historical accuracy would want to put the Italians behind the Samurai Apes in the casting line.

[Leman]

It's probably to keep the children quiet by giving them their toys.

As I said above, because we've not got the artillery pieces yet so there isn't a complete range to release?  And even if we had the guns here, we'd need two master moulds and about 10 production moulds to get them ready. Whereas the Fantasy ranges only need a couple of production moulds and that's them finished off.

+ 3  (read it out to some friends)

Very recherche, can you explain.

[FierceKitty]

The friends agreed with the implied attitudes.

[cameronian]

Ah.
