Master lists for the Napoleonic French and Austrians!

[fsn]

So no Swedes yet then?



I've just read through this thread and I have come to the conclusion that no matter what Leon and the good people, dwarves and other supernatural creatures at Pendraken do (not forgetting Milady. Hello Milady.  ) they will never, ever, ever be right.  I want my late war Napoleonic in parade dress, Ithoriel wants them in greatcoats and shako covers, Fenton wants the 1812 dress, Westmarcher wants a party dress.

Poor old Techno and others of that ilk ("You know what an ilk is?" "A large deer?") can work their scabby fingers to the bone but will never, ever, ever satisfy demand - and I think it would almost be a shame if they did.

So a hearty thank you to everyone at Pendraken for your efforts, and I'm sorry if some of us (yes, me included) may come over as a little impatient. I think you provide a great service and sometimes we (the ants at the Pendraken picnic) possibly take you for granted.

Hear hear

Now where are the bloody dark ekves and undead?

Westmarcher wants a party dress.

I heartily agree with the sentiments in your post fsn, however that snippet reminded me of a diorama I saw many, many years ago at the Model Engineering Exhibition (I think).

It was a 54mm scale diorama of the ball on the eve of Waterloo.

In the mid-ground were British officers and fashionably dressed ladies, waltzing.

In the foreground stood Wellington, a couple of aides and the hostess with Wellington presumably saying the line that formed the title of the piece.

In the background two Grenadiers of the Old guard held open the french windows while a French general waltzed with one of the ladies.

The title of the piece was something like."The speed of Napoleon's advance has been greatly exaggerated, m'dear"

Well, it's been a year and those Young Guard, Guard artillery and Guard cavalry masters must be awfully dusty on Leon's shelf, as they've not made an appearance.

No incentive to buy more figures for my Aspern/Wagram French army if there is no prospect of ever completing it due to figure unavailability.

Bump, so that the Master List might still twitch with a little life.

OK so Leon fielding requests for new sculpts must be a bit like herding wild cats ... in a storm ... with a water pistol ... (empty) ... whilst blindfolded, but apart from Peninsular Brits, what is next on this list, if anything?

This is an old list now so we wouldn't be bouncing back to anything on this in the future.  Some items may raise their heads on other lists going forward but I've not looked at this thread for a long time now!  There's the French Guard stuff mentioned elsewhere, and then our Peninsular expansion next year.

Thanks for that.  Clearly time for a new list (post Brit Peninsular and Guard).
