Ironclad Miniatures Greens

[JollyBob]

If we're being treated to a Moriarty, can we have a Colonel Sebastian Moran and his killer air-rifle as well? That would be aces.

[argsilverson]

The Baker street irregulars, Mrs Hudson, female reporters with typing machine, Professor Challenger

Irene Adler, the king of Bohemia

Phileas Fogg & co. (I have in mind the characters from Jules Verne Secret Adventures)

Unarmed naval crews [suitable for tanks, vessels deck and bridge duty]

[JollyBob]

Professor Challenger

Yes! And the rest of the Lost World party. The book one. Not the crap one off telly.

Unless you really want to sculpt a Veronica model. I wouldn't mind that.  :wink:

[Tommy20]

What everyone else said, plus:

Troops
Riflemen in the sealskin busby (haven't seen them listed).  Don't forget a "running with rifle at the trail" pose.

Drummer/Buglers for the Guards & Infantry, Buglers for the Rifles, Pipers for the Scots.

I may be alone with this one, but I'd really like a General Service Wagon in 28mm.

Characters
Highland companion for Her Majesty (Gawd Bless  'Er!)
Aging mounted general in bicorne

Wishful Thinking
All figs would be available with either Lee-Metford OR Martini-Henry.  Perhaps more realistically, just Line Infantry.

Thanks for asking!

not particularly these miniatures, very very nice by the way, but what has really got me dumbfounded about figures in this theatre/period is the lack of firing poses. when I was a kid I was always perturbed by all the guys standing there pointing a gun at nothing wishing there were more advancing/at ease/sentry type poses but it now seems to have swung right around the other way.

[argsilverson]

May I add more?

1.- cycling figures: policemen, Sherlock Holmes et co., cycling ladies
2.- mounted ladies and other suitable figures just walking in the Parks
3.- Scots highlanders in kilts plus a band / drums and pipes
4.- Prussian band
5.- sentries
6.- vendors, tradesmen etc , servants and sitting people

[Tommy20]

Like Svennn, I like a variety of Poses.  RAFM set the standard with their Space: 1889 figs.  A "Company" of 20 had 10 diffferent poses:

Mounted officer
Officer firing pistol
Officer gesturing to troops
Colour Sergeant
Sergeant
Corporal
Private standing firing
Private kneeling firing
Private loading
Private charging

They only missed the boat by not including the standard "advancing" pose, which is by far the most utilitarian, or a drummer.

I can't wait to see how many poses we'll get for each type, but at least we know we'll get Guards & line infantry advancing.  That's enough to guarantee a large order from me!

John has just been up here at Musketeer HQ to cast off the first batch of master's. All I can say is that you're all in for a treat when you see whats coming. The figures look even better in the metal too!  :wink:

[Tommy20]

Please feel free to continue putting forward suggestions for characters, figures, etc.

Well, since you asked...  :mrgreen:

I may be in the minority here, but I like kneeling figures.  Unfortunately, they are always in one of two poses, either firing or set to receive cavalry.  In period photo's, however, they're usually in more of a "ready" stance.  I'd love to see two figures (one front rank, one rear) in this pose:



Here's another example (I love this picture):



But, like I said, I'm probably in the minority.

So we've seen a Guardsman & Line Infantry, which leaves room for:

Highlanders:


Highland Light Infantry:

Although I'm not sure if they should have the shako or helmet.  What year are you aiming for?  1890 is nice(hint! hint!)

Rifles:


Fusiliers (I'd love to see an officer in cap as well):


As for characters, I'd love to have a Guards Officer in this frock coat (albeit mounted):


That'll do nicely for now.  Will get back to you with requests for cavalry once the infantry is painted up.

Thanks!

[XCIV]

Guess I am buying some Huns next, eh?  :freak: The memsahib shan't like that at all... ah well, she'll get over it.

After all, I bought her a pool.

[XCIV]

I would surely love a good mini of Her Majesty, minus the shotgun, as mentioned by someone else previously.

Some nice schutztruppen/seebattalion types would be good too. I haven't found any that I am in love with yet.

Generic rocket packs/wing sets for attachment to figures?

More poses for the mechanical man.

Steam-powered horses for cavalry.

Zeppelin crew - possibly sort of generic so could be for any flying ship nationality.

[Le matou rouge]

Some nice schutztruppen/seebattalion types would be good too. I haven't found any that I am in love with yet.

Idem for Polizeitruppe minis, i.e. West africa german askaris without these damned neck shade ! but with Fez, short jacket, sash and barefeet, like that :


That's would be great if they could be as awesome as your greens  :love:

meow,
Matt

[Aesthete]

On the request side, I always think having a few more ladies of various countenances and costumes is a good thing: proper ladies, demimondaine, an old lady or two and perhaps that young lass with the wrench who's such a comfort to her father and great inventor of Thorpingscone Steamworks.

The come in very handy for those of us who use our miniatures for roleplaying games as well as wargames.

[majorsmith]
