Hi all,

Its been a long time since I've had new stuff to post here, but Leon contacted me with a forum member request for an add-on to the AWI range, and I had the time to do it. They are British infantry in skirmishing poses. Round hats, short coats, overall trousers.
I think these are the first 10mm I've done since maybe the LoA dragoons? When  I broke out some old greens to get the size consistent what struck me was "Damn these things are tiny!" I actually doubted I could sculpt something this small again. After about half an hour I got back into the mindset for it, and it was pretty smooth after that.

Hope you like them.

Let's tick it off shall we?


  • They're from the AWI, which falls into my interest dead spot between Marlborough and the First Empire.
  • They are in "active" poses which imho do not look good on the approach march
  • They are all kneeling or lying down, a good century and a quarter before this can be countenanced.

They're never going to get on my table, but that doesn't stop me appreciating that they are really, really beautiful.  =D> =D> =D> =D> =D>
Would make a great basis for a skirmish game.

Thanks for all the kind words. They were kinda fun to do again after all this time.

I'd be open to adding more figures. These were sponsored by a Pendraken customer (don't know if that person frequents the forum), so if there's something you really want have a word with Leon. Back when I started this range it was after Pendraken's original range got canceled, and I thought "well I'll just have to the sculpt figures myself if I want them", so I did them on a semi-hobby basis. Over time it became clear that I would never have time to paint and collect this range, so I got busy with other projects. Its hard to make a decent living sculpting so I had to concentrate on bigger projects.
Long story short- I can't do it for the love of 10mm anymore, but being a freelancer I can always be recruited for coin. So if you have requests and the coin, drop Leon a line and maybe we can sort something out.

This. If we want Clib's continuing commitment to the best scale, we need to *commit* to buying. Everything ;)

Buy early. Buy often. :D
