Today I received some pictures from Richard Ansell showing the next batch of 16 figures that we will be adding to the Fife & Drum range very soon. This new set includes British centre company and grenadier company figures, plus two stylish mounted officers. The greens will be sent to the caster soon and hopefully we can get these fellows into production very quickly. I would imagine that this would be sometime in February 2012, but don't hold me to that until I speak to the fellows handling the production end of things. :)
So let us see what we have in the pipeline. First of all, there are 8 British centre company figures in the adapted campaign uniform, as used in the 1777 campaign and on through the end of the war. Thus you can use the same figures for the Philadelphia/Monmouth campaign as well as for the Southern Theatre with Greene and Cornwallis testing each other's mettle.

Very nice they look too.
ReplyDeleteNow you've done it! I'll need to purchase a couple of those mounted British officers when they have been cast. Seriously.

Any plans for Highlanders?
ReplyDeleteHighlanders? Absolutely yes! They are probably my favorite troop type in the British army. I wanted to get the "mainstream" infantry types done first before adding the Highlanders.
ReplyDeleteAnd after that perhaps some Hessians and French too.
