North Star are now stocking the Brigade Games Miniatures American West range. I''ve had my eye on some if these but didn't fancy the import duty lottery.

I do like those bushwhackers.

Those Mexican Revolution figures are nice. Don't think I've seen them before (or if I have I'd forgotten about them). Pity the range isn't a bit broader is all. Could do with a few more types.

Yes, especially mounted versions would be good.

oh, man
I hope they will stock the whole of the Brigade range - it has become such a pain in the ass to order overseas, damn US taxes....

Yup, some nice figures from Brigade, notice the not deadwood ones are i the batch so far for sale
-
Yes I would love it if they expanded some more although these minis are probably aimed at the Dead Man's Hand and IHMN gamers and will sell more quickly as they are rather en vogue at the moment. I would love to see more of the Victoriana, Gangs of New York stuff make an appearance.

Yes! Definitely this!

Not so interested in the Old West stuff, but I'd love some of the Brigade Games WW2 range to come across the water.

Wargames Command Post has Brigade Games Pacific Theatre WWII if I recall correctly
Still listed here --> http://www.thewcp.co.uk/shop.php?CatID=242 (http://www.thewcp.co.uk/shop.php?CatID=242)

sadly all Europe stockists of BG (I know of) list only odds and ends. I cannot imagine that a monthly order schedule can't pay off...
but we'll see

And the Chinese Laundry!
I sense an order soon.

I have wanted those for ages and even put them in the basket last night but decided against paying the postage - it always seems worse when Nick is only just down the road from here

Surely you can stop by after work? You're only a couple of streets away (admittedly very long and busy streets) from Nicks.

Ooh, I didn't know that, thanks. Sadly most of it seems to be out of stock, but its going in my faves file anyway, just in case.
-
BG have also just released a pack of Pinkertons which does not appear on the North Star list :

Ooh, I like those. Unfortunately the last thing I got Nick to order for me from Brigade took almost two years to arrive...
-
I'd ask Nick anyway : there's a reasonable chance North Star got these with the rest of the American West range but did not have the time to put them up on the website because they're brand new.
-
They are terrific, another set for the wants list

Is he keeping stock in the UK then, or passing the orders through?
-
Them thar mighty fine Pinkertons...think I might get me sum
-

Keeping stock, I think there was an issue with Brigade making enough to send to trade customers, as stock has arrived now, hopefully it's been resolved.
-
I wasn't hugely impressed with my Bushwackers but they're not awful. It's definitely a decent range to add.

That's a shame, they look ok in the photo, what was the main issue? 'Not awful' doesn't really sell them to me! :D

The last thing I ordered direct from Lon at BG took 8 days to arrive, Transatlantic ;)
Love those Pinkertons.
I have the bushwhackers already. Personally I like them. They are quite simple figures though.
-

Yep, I've never had trouble ordering direct. The only reason Nick ordered it for me was because he was doing his stock order at the time and I wasn't in a rush. Some of that stock has now arrived.

I will second that. top service and speed from Lon
The problem might be the shipping costs and the strict taxation. I would guess this is cutting into his budget too....

It's probably just me. The sculpts were a little "meh". Soft on the detail, not very crisp lines, not many raised details. They have great character, but they're not nearly as fun to paint as Foundry or Black Scorpion. Now if you're a kick arse painter...they're plenty good. I think Captain Blood had some in his post recently which looked amazing. But for an amateur painter who relies on details and crisp sculpts to really succeed with a miniature - they're not as nice as my other figures.
