Given the poses available so far, is it correct to assume this range will be more suited to skirmish games than traditional wargaming?

Do you perhaps envisage at some point also releasing figures suitable for the Opium War?

And lastly, is it possible that you may release a couple of figures that appear to resemble a certain Col. Flash--n, late of the 17th Lancers in your range?

I certainly intend to use the figures for mass battles and skirmish, the number of packs and poses will enable a good few battalions with that campaign feel to take the field, we are developing a set of rules for next year that will deal with both aspects, I'm not a fan of lines of infantry all standing in the same pose for this period , It Certainly does not suit the campaign scruffy style that typified the Indian Mutiny regiments. "worst dressed british army to take the field"

Opium wars i will consider as it would fit well with the infantry, Naval brigade and sikh troops all we need to add is the chinese It is worth considering.

you are the 20th person to ask about a flashman figure so I might just do that with the personalities

I would appreciate any Flashman photos from the mutiny period i have some of his balaklava exploits,

He spends a bit of the book in disguise, undercover in a native regiment, as they have got wind that something is afoot and he is investigating (though I forget if he's a Sowar or a Sepoy - A Sowar would be more Flashy).

He was a Sowar.

This surprised me but they do actually fit reasonably well with the old Foundry ones too.

They would certainly work well together in the same army but in separate units. They are accurate and nicely done, but I wish the rifles weren't quite so "dainty". Otherwise they are brill! I'm prepping mine now for priming. I will say this though I really hope they will maintain continuity within this range by using one sculptor.

Too late for that wish, have you seen the artillery crew? Still nice figures but a different sculptor.

My dilemna is that I really want the officer in air pipe helmet but I do not want any figures in pugris. As these are quite prevailent in the initial releases it is limiting my buying options.

Good looking figures so far. I'm really looking forward to seeing more Mutineers, hope there will be plenty of variety in these.

I second the Opium Wars at some point in the future.

A range for The North West Frontier, some day would be most welcome too  :)
