Title: New British Infantry for Musketeer
Post by: Musketeer on September 04, 2008, 10:16:45 PM
These are the latest batch of figures from Paul Hicks for our IWI range. Also perfect for 1914/15 BEF!  ;)

Superb!  :-* Do anybody know how well Paul’s sculpting compare to those of Aly Morrison and Dave Andrews (of Great War Minis)? Will they fit together well?

Oh no!
Just when I had decided not to do Great War!
Will you have these at Partizan?

cheers

Yes David, but it might be worth pre-ordering as I only have a limited amount at the moment.

The officer cocking his gun looks full of intent. All good ones.

My Irish will have their work cut out for them. Especially since I noticed Johan is buying these twice.
Wonder what evil plans he's plotting.....

Not Evil Willie, he is just doing the King's bidding.

Glad you like them and  I hope they do well for Bill. Would love to do some more for him as I really enjoyed doing them.

And they are a tad better than the ones I did six years ago for Battle Honours.

They felt like the DBs at the time, but now.... I would not buy them.

I doubt that in 6 years time you would feel the same about these. Spiffing stuff!  :)

Just as I was trying to convince myself that I had enough BEF.  And then you have the Russians, too!

Very nice, very tempting!

I know these are intended primarily for the IWI range, but in addition to more British, some serious consideration should be given to making Germans...and French...and Belgians. :)

I just have! some of the Cavalry both mounted and dismounted (- still the only british dismounted cavalry available at the moment as far as i know), hadnt seen them before i ordered and they're pretty good, though I would agree that these latest offerings are a considerable improvement.

Do it Bill. You know y'want to. It'd be great to see some High command figures as well as machine gunners and artillery in shirt sleeve order.  :D

Some mounted and dismounted cavalry would be nice as well. You could always get Crouchie to make a Rolls Royce a/c.

Naaah. What we need is a 1/56th Crossley tender  ;)

Yep, the Copplestone RR is very nice, if a tad small for my tastes.

Company B do a lovely 1/156th scale one which retails through Brigade Games, I believe...

I love the figures; although I do wish the GNW Russians were available (hint hint)

Post by: fastolfrus on September 11, 2008, 09:32:41 PM
If you're looking for more British ideas, apart from guncrew in shirt sleeves order and high command, how about Old Bill on sentry go (or any other Barnsfeather illustration) ?

Got my two packs at Partizan II and they are superb! Not compatible with Great War miniatures imo as the Musketeer Miniatures figures are better both in design and casting so we need HMG, Command, and more infantry!

please

Do not fear on the more infantry as I have another set of four ready to send to Bill.
