We've just got these Jagers through for the new Schleswig-Holstein range:

It's looking like a good year so far with the new League of Augsburg and now 1st S/H war.
Can't wait to see Monmouth's rebels and the Danes in their chocolate box uniforms.
Getting exited.
Great ! I see, that you started making 3-4 poses of infantrymen in your packs. Well done !

I'll check with Dave and see when they'll be ready to go. I think it will depend on whether we wait for the whole range to be done, or if we dripfeed the releases over a few months.
We picked up these at Salute, so here are the Dragoons and Hussars:

And the German artillery crew:

Love it!
Bloody marvelous, and they will be for sale when.??
Very nice stuff. This year will be a 'one 10mm project in a completely new period' year.
I am torn between Schlewig Holstien and League of Augsburg. In days of old I would have done both. With so little time for 'cutting and sticking' as my wife calls it, I have to be realistic on what I can get done. These have tipped the balance back from LoA who had pipped ahead with the great articles in the new Wargames Soldiers and Strategy.
Still, a great problem to have!

Beautiful and the dragoons seem to be usable as russian dragoons for the Napoleonic wars!
Looking really good! :-bd
We've just been looking at the May releases, and we 'may' ( :'() have the the first batch of this range ready for release! :D
Just gorgeous!
Well, there goes my budget!! The wife is going to be so happy ;D
I think those hussars may well be suitable for French in Italy 1859.

Like these figures very much, apart from the balls on top of the artillery crews spiked helmets...they look rather too large- as if someone had gone along and stuck an orange on each crewmans spike or something. I know they had balls on them to stop accidents when manning the guns but they do look just a tad too large IMHO. Of course painted up it may look different and I appreciate they will need to be sculpted in an exaggerated manner to show up but nevertheless these look a little excessive.
Looking forward to the rest and especially the Danes in their chocolate box, Pippin fort style uniforms.

They thin down quite a bit during moulding, so some things have to be exaggerated on the master to allow for that. They should be fine after two lots of moulding.
Of course I never said I wouldn't buy any of them! Its a toss up between doing 1st SH War or Monmouth's rebellion first- it depends on which ranges is most advanced when I get to see 'em in the flesh.

We got this bit of kit from the designer today. We weren't entirely sure what it was, but after a quick Google, we found out that's a rather interesting piece, certainly not something you'd want to get in the way of! :D

For more info on it: http://www.sunewad.dk/espingol_eng.htm (http://www.sunewad.dk/espingol_eng.htm)
Caliver do a very good book on this period - full of uniform plates and descriptions. Some of the German states infantry look remarkably like Napoleonics as they are still wearing short tailed tunics and Shakos - some bell-topped and some stovepipe. A mixed German force up against Danes would look very impressive.

We've got another load through for these, with figures to cover some of the German States.
First up though, is a couple of Danish in kepi, in a couple of different poses:

Then we've got the Hanoverians:

The Bavarians:

And the Saxons:

These should fill the German foot codes out nicely!
Look good to me.
All look great! However, the BAvarians... Just something about them.

Good or bad? The photo isn't great, I must admit.
I have a hankering for Bavarians - just which war to go for, 1848, 66 or 70?
Or all three ;)
Bah, Humbug!!!!
When are we gonna see some new Napoleonic Austrian cavalry?
:P :P :P
We've just about finished this range now, aside from another artillery piece, there's nothing left on the list for this one. This batch takes care of the rest of the German troops:
Brunswickers:

Ooooh Myyyyy :o Keep 'em pumping out there Leon :D
All very nice 8). Same with the other new releases.
Nice kit lads!
Volunteers would blend in for the 1870 Franc Tireurs to give that pack a bit more variety - nice stuff
Time machine - set dial for Aspern Essling, 1809 ;D
