On the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo, and after some unfortunate delays at our end, we're very happy to release Part 1 of our new 1812-1815 Napoleonic British! This first batch covers all of the foot, command and cavalry codes, and we'll be following this up with the artillery, limbers and personalities in a few weeks time. (There was a slight issue with the artillery carriages so we're just working on those.) We'll also be putting together one of our usual army packs once the range is complete.

Fantastic news Leon, well timed too! :)
Very fine looking figures.
Looking very good indeed. Must be a first for the hobby to include two standard bearers in a British command set, rather than the usual inadequate one! (I'm sure someone will correct me ;)
Yes, they are looking good. :-bd
... but to be honest (sorry), still puzzled as to why, in the 18th Century and ACW ranges cords are included in the drums but not in the Naps range .....
excellent stuff! need to finish other projects first but I will be getting round to having lots of these

from a painters point of view I would much prefer not to have drum cords. With drum cords you can't paint the details on the drum, not enough space to get into the gaps (I've tried). Without cords you can paint the detail on, then paint the cords on.
looking good =D>
I'll be buying lots of these :)
the code NBR15 Highlander mounted General (1) is he wearing trews or kilt ? or is he wearing what generals normally wore at the time, so could he be used for any type of general in the army and not just a Highland general

... paint the detail on a 10mm scale drum (!) .... :o
.... all power to you, Matt. Salute! m/
Each to their own.
Very nice indeed. Perfect for some skirmish games as well :).
I hope the mounted Highlanders are wearing breeks, mighty men indeed going commando on horseback with a kilt ;)

I guess, while NBR14 Highlander mounted officer is correct, NBR15 Highlander Mounted General is a normal mounted general and that the word 'Highlander' just crept in by mistake.
Oh happy day, I can't wait until mine arrive!!!!
V/R,
Jack

The two mounted types are wearing trews, bit rough on a horse wearing a kilt! The NBR15 code is down as a Highlander General on the sculptor's notes, although I'm sure he can be used in other areas.

Has he got a fabric/tartan sash worn diagonally across his chest and over one shoulder?

Not over the shoulder, but he's got one around his waist.
Ummm. I have a question. It may be heresy and for that I accept the punishment of the Dark Lord.
I also have a massive and very positive, very firm, very proud reaction to the new Napoleonic British.
But.
I may have noted in the past my absolute rejection of firing and kneeling figures pre 1900.
Could I, by judicious use of the Dremel convert light infantry into ersatz Rifles by the simple expedient of lopping off some extraneous musket barrel?
Urgh, I've just been a little bit sick at that image!
Here's the brown paper bag

Thanks Ian, but did it have to be second hand!
Thought you might want the protein

Urgh! :-& :-& :-& :-& :-& X_X :-t =O =O

(How do you 'anti bookmark' something that you never want to read again ?)
Cheers - Phil :P
It's above your technological level Phil.
IanS
Isn't everything ? X_X
But going back to Nobby's original point.... (You can teach me something here.)
Have I got the completely false impression that when 'muskets' were used.....
The men were arranged in two ranks, ready to fire.
Front rank were kneeling, and fired first....and while they were reloading, the rear rank fired ?
Then basically, the rear rank reloaded, while it became the front rank's 'turn' to shoot again. (presuming they were quick enough.)
Repeat from start.
Is this complete nonsense ?
Cheers - Phil
Pretty much. The battalion was divided into firing units (platoons) which fired in a pattern.
I just don't like firing poses pre-1900. I want Riflemen in an advancing pose rather than just firing.
With 2 ranks you didnt have the front rank kneel, rather the second rank was offset to one side. In the nap and Rev wars only the Brits could use platoon fire effectively throughout. The French Revolutionary lot certainly weren't trained to do it.

I like 'advancing' (if weapon is raised high enough), or 'at the ready' for units for preference. Re numerous orders for old Peninsula campaign single pose figs courteously provided! 8)
In a firing line pack, many figs would be redundant unless for skirmishers....or used with kneelers to make squared units, (if I EVER got round to painting them!).
(My hangover from the old style 25mm figs from my youth! =) ).
Awaiting some of the new figs to try out before 'reassigning' my hordes of unpainted OG march attack brits! :-\
Got 2 packs of the flankers! :o :D
The 'at the present' Very Nice! Will go 10 to a 3cm base without probs. Be warned :d ,will be ordering LOTS of single pose soon...have just ordered Command and some kneelers to use up the flank firers as skirmishers! :) Thank you for your efforts, worth the wait! :)
Ps: Pretty please, can we have Command in Bicorns and stovepipes for my leaderless Peninsula's? :'(
Any updates on the artillery and the rest of the range (including army packs)?

Just waiting on the low-temp mould back for the new artillery carriage and then we're good to go really. The personalities have been moulded (along with their French counterparts) so they're ready to be released, and I just need to cast off a few wheels from a master mould to go with the rockets.
If the mould arrives in the next fortnight then they'll be released before the end of the month. The army pack will be available at the same time.

Huzzah!
will there be a "Highlanders, flank company march attack pose" ? as with the other British infantry

Not planned at the moment, they were done in different poses for variation (and also to make them easier to differentiate on the table!)
