I got a kick (no pun intended) out of these new minis from Knucklesdusters:

Originally intended for the Old West, I am sure, I can see used for them in VSF to. Cool minis BUT if you go through he trouble of putting minis like these on the market, shouldn't they have been sculpted doing the high kick?

Wow...I didn't catch that first time round, Hammers. No kidding. A cancan without a high kick... just isn't a cancan.

Wonderful stuff ;D

These are rather like those Morris Dancer figures of a few weeks back. Great miniatures, that I'd love to own, and then wonder what on earth I do with them?
How do you envisage using them in VSF Hammers?
Not tellin'. But obviously with French forces.

Oh great. As if the Frenchies needed ANOTHER distraction to make sure they don't win - come on, that's overkill...

Yes, disappointing about the lack of a high kick. However I am now trying to think of a game where I can use these, the morris men and the panto horse from Foundry

As for the "high kick", I seem to recall it is a modern misconception that this was already prevalent in 19th-century cancan dancing. While I admit that those miniatures are rather tame, if not sedate, I think that originally, the leg lifted straight either up to hip height, or upwards towards the torso in an angled pose. I might be mistaken, of course, and will happily accept being corrected, but from what I remember the "modern" cancan only came about after the turn of the century ("la belle epoque").

Not entirely relevant but isn't a can can supposed to be knickerless?
Lovely painting. I particularly like your petticoats. :D
