Title: Blue Moon Releasing British and French Regulars!
Post by: Darkoath on 29 October 2009, 10:21:40 PM
From a news article at TMP:

Blue Moon have just released British Regulars!  They look nice and are not on the normal sized round
Blue Moon base so you can do close order massed ranks with multiple miniatures on a larger base if you
so wish.

I think they look pretty good... though I must admit I would rather have my British and French
regulars from Conquest or Galloping Major.  However it seems like that might be a while in
coming, so these might do the trick for now! :D

Thanks for the update Darkoath  :)

As ever with Blue Moon, it's quite hard to tell what the goods are like beneath that godawful shiny paintjob...

I don't own any of their figures, but lots of people swear they're a lot better in the flesh than their publicity pics suggest. With these ones, I'm honestly not too sure... One or two of them look a wee bit wonky to me, but like I say, it's hard to tell because of the paintjob  :(

In truth, I already have 30 or so Front Rank Brits for the F&IW, so I think I'll wait to see what Lance comes out with for Galloping Major before deciding to buy any more. On the basis of what he's produced so far, I've got high expectations  ;)

Interesting, they seem to have gone for a more traditional look for these miniatures a bit like RAFM or Minden?

Never a truer word spoken ;)
 I am looking forward to the Galloping Majors.
