Please keep this thread updated, especially with the 1898 Spanish American War stuff :)

I noticed that the resin buildings are no longer available; will they be recast at some point in the future?

If not, can anyone make a suggestion as to what could be used in their stead?

Pics below for reference to my question :)

Gentlemen
First of all, please accept my apologies, it's been a while since last time I posted in this thread. We were busy at chez 1898 producing our new range, devoted to the Spanish Tercios 1618-1648. Lots of companies produce "generic" Thirty Years War miniatures, but not all the armies had exactly the same looking. After comprehensive research we decided to start a range devoted to the Spanish Tercios, soldiers who dominated European battlefields for most of this first half of the 17th century. A range including lots of variety, as the first batch have two different command groups and up to 24 different armoured and unarmoured pikemen and 24 different musketeers and arquebusiers! I know this forum is mainly interested on 19th Century conflicts, but can't resist to post a few pics. If that bothers you please let me know and I'll limit myself to 1898 range. In any case, I hope you would like this new range!

By all means don't !  ;)

Your new C17th range is a superb one and there are quite a few of us who want to follow its progress ! What I suggest you do however is open a separate thread on the Pikes, Muskets and Flouncy Shirts forum to keep the Philippines/Cuba announcements separate from the Tercios releases (there's already a more or less dedicated topic started by Marco - http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=115543.0 - but it is probably best if you have your own to officially announce what's new and in the pipeline on the 17th century front).

It's a lovely range in any case, and I will certainly be buying a squadron or two from you next year, probably come February or March once my Christmas napoleonic purchases are done and out of the way.   

Do you have plans for artillery and cavalry by the way ? Those poor caballeros corazas don't seem to receive much love from figure manufacturers.

Thanks for the suggestion, I will!

And yes, the plan is to release artillery and cavalry as well.

Best!

Hi! Not sure if they will be available in the future, is not on us. We are looking for alternatives though!

Unfortunately the moros ..who are a fascinating subject and a powerful opponent of regular/westerner armies also in wargame therms must be fielded, if you want to be historically correct , vs 17up to early/mid 19 c. Spanish or vs US soldiers clad differently from the 1898 Infantry..better would be against Philippine Scouts or Moro/Philippino Constabulary ..we cannot pretend that wargame firms risk into the production of  such “out of the beaten path “ or obscure ranges whith the remote perspective of selling just some few packs to a very few wargamers  across the globe including maybe you and me

That's absolutely understandable. You don't want to be in the position of running a business into the ground based on the production of a non financially viable range of miniatures.

It's a shame that this is the way things are.........
