There will be two new Silver Bayonet Units for the release of the Italy book, out next month.
The first is the Calabresi, and the second the Bourbon Kingdom of Naples.

I am in! I have never quite been a “completist” collector but this line of figs is making me one!
-
I might get those, just for the "nun with a stick" figure. :D

A unit pack of them would be in order for defending the school!

Nice, those would make great character figures for Garibaldis early campaigns for the unification of Italy.
I once dated a calabrese, in fact I came perilously close to marrying her. She definitely had occult powers and was utterly unhinged. Writes cook books these days.

Interesting - I think I see the possibilities for adding to my Picoti.

I do like the Calabresi unit 8)

Yes.
-
Any new monsters or cultists planned? Civilians suitable for urban rpg encounters that aren’t necessarily combat?
-
More monsters and Italian bandits.

All the Silver Bayonet: Italy orders have been packed up. They have either left the building, or are going tomorrow.
Thank you everyone who ordered!!
-
I was very pleasantly surprised at the banditti pack on arrival having a cool female bandit! Nice!
More females, and regency garbed civilians please!

Ditto, ditto, and double-ditto please!

Definitely more regency garbed civvies please and a preference for trousers rather than breeches.

Cheers! Not noticed those before. Not quite what I want but one or two useful figures among 'em.
-
Yes, there are a few useful figures in the Perry offerings, and lots of innocent bystanders just standing around waiting to be monster chow. But we really need much more in the way of armed and active civilians to join the adventuring squads.

The Empress Maori War figures are nominally a bit later in terms of style but could be made to work for an earlier period, as could a few of the Boothill miniatures (now via Brigade) . Personally I'm look to go the other way and utilise earlier figures for a later period (1830s).
Eureka have a range of French revolutionaries with open hands and the option of a range of weapons that would fit the 1800-15 period. Some are in mob caps, so look specifically French but there are quite a few that are bare headed or in hats.

I echo this, the Perry and Front Rank are nice enough and certainly have their uses but they don’t quite look like they are terribly worried or excited about much…something that won’t really fit well on a table for when confronting by revenants. There would be a few individual figs out each pack but a lot of not so nice figs to have to buy to get them.
The Māori figs are nice but again, not as many as i would like. I do want to get some.
Trent has nice Vendean, Haitian and Irish revolt figs… with a few nice females too.

Ah, but British civilians are made of stouter stuff and are far more composed and laconic in their approach to danger, having lived in a dystopian hellscape for much of their lives.
They pine not for more firearms like the cousins. A stout stick, cane or handy sporting implement will suffice. Panic stricken Americans are another thing entirely. Their exposure to a life in a dystopian hellscape seems not to have left any positive mark. :D
Should their be any more British figures forthcoming it woud be nice to see a Mary Bateman figure. Mary was the so-called Yorkshire Witch but this time with genuine occult powers rather than just a taste for seasoning food in an unusual manner, not conducive to continued respiration. ;)
-
Was just looking at Piano Minis’ Tyrol revolt civilians. Very nice and dynamic, but only Tyrols with distinct costume. The Landstuerm and farmers in particular would look well chasing down a re-animated body who just threw a child into the pond and retreated to the Baron’s castle.
-
Eureka do a Tyrolean range as well. Plenty of angry lederhosen wearers wielding agricultural implements as well as shoory sticks.
There's a really useful figure of a woman loading a musket which would fit in with a wide variety of nationalities,

Indeed hit or miss…those sculpts look like the molds are quite worn out.
Black Pyramid have some nice figs but they are OOP for many. Others look kind of rough like the migs

Still waiting for my FLGS to get the book in, so that review was quite handy with the new character stats. Great to see Light Infantry and Voltigeurs added at long last. But gah, re-juggling unit maths, the horror, the horror.
I had built my Neapolitan (Murat's) with the basic soldiers as Voltigeurs. Made sense at the time that the troops trained for loose order work would be best suited to these sorts of missions. Need to add some regular center company infantry now too, and then figure how the heck to work 18-point Voltigeurs in. The scattershot points values make juggling 100 points worth of 7 figures tricksy enough the first time, re-juggling is even harder.
: P
-
I wouldn’t sweat it. If you have too many points, toss in another monster or two at some point in the battle and it will all balance out.
-
Saved by the plastics, and remembering that an officer's stats can be juggled to go up to 105 recruitment points.
In an amazing stroke of luck, I remembered where the box with all the extra Victrix infantry sprues went and found it with a quick archaeological expedition. I'll build a couple of line soldiers, ending up with a pair of units and a couple of extra figures. They'll make a good team pair for bigger convention games.

My TSB thread has been dormant for a few years, last updated with the Neapolitans:

More pics coming this week though as the game is back on the front burner! We had a good turnout for a big demo game at the FLGS last week, and now have a good quorum to get monthly games going. Spent the week painting more monsters/encounters and will be flocking them this afternoon. Two Victrix fusilier reïnforcements for the 7º Real Africano assembled yesterday and get primed today.
