Title: New Nap French sculpts!
Post by: Leon on 22 March 2015, 03:42:45 AM
Another batch of masters arrived a couple of weeks back, so here's some pics for everyone.  This load continues the Napoleonic expansion, as we move through the Guard types to finish off the French lists.  

Chasseurs a Cheval de la Garde:

We hope you like them!

No, it isn't. Perfect scale for horse-and-musket.

Not a Napoleonic uniform expert (however I'm sure the research has been well done as usual and they are very accurate, of course) but they look like cracking sculpts to me (better than a lot of 15mm)  :-bd

Damn you Pendraken! New era? Ooooh, so tempting! What to do?  :-\

I'm hoping so, I just need to find time at the moment to get some more moulds prepped up.  We've got the first half of the Brits moulded, so that's a step in the right direction.  French and Prussians are next after those.

Those sculpts look really good.   :)

The real downside is I can see these are going to force me to break into the piggy bank and send the odd shekel or two all the way to Middlebrough yet again!   :'(

Here is hoping that Leon can get the new moulds done soon, I mean what is his problem?  Pendraken only has Salute, Carronade, and Triples coming up over the next 7 weeks, oh, and hopefully the Barbarians will be released soon as well.   ;)

Those are looking absolutely gorgeous.

I'm going to have to build a Guard division soon once those are all release :D

Will we see Young Guard cavlary as well (ie, Elcaireurs) ?

Beautifull figures, absolutely wonderfull work!
One question from the Authenticity Dept. though; shouldn't Carabiniers be having carbines? (Yes; the question is rhetorical.. ;))

Cheers,
Rob

Hi Leon,

Did the other package arrive? Does it contain Guard Lancers and Young Guard?

There's been a couple of packages arrive since our last update, I just need to find some time to get them photo'd up.  We should have everything there now for the various Guard foot types, but I'll need to check and confirm.

Have I missed something, as not all these sculpts appear to have been released yet? I have been particularly looking for them for building my French Army.

Not quite yet, they got bumped down the queue a little bit so they've not hit master moulds just yet.

Those have been master moulded, just need to get them ready for the production moulds.

And not to sound ungrateful but is there any chance of some French generals or adjutants or ADCs? We have nice mounted colonels, marshals and a Napoleon but that leaves a few command levels uncatered for. Similarly with the Austrians, a generic General would be useful, although there is a very useful mounted gentleman in the train pack who now serves as an adjutant though  :o

Hi Leon, are these going to be released this year? There also seems to be a number of models not yet seen with photographs, would these contain young guard?

I particually like the carabiniers. It would be great to have cuirasseurs with the same trotting horses.

Cheers, Rob  :)

The cavalry should be released in the next couple of months, but all the Guard are still in the drawer waiting to be checked over unfortunately.

They're already moulded, I think I mentioned that last time it was asked on the Forum.  We've not got them onto the website yet, but drop us an email if you need any of them.

Maybe - I know you told me the Lanciers were available although not online.

I'll put a small supplementary Nap order together once I've finished painting the ECW mountain :)
