Title: Musketeer's Irish War of Independence

Hi All

Just thought you might like to have a look at the first 6 packs of figures that we are releasing for this new range. All are sculpted by Paul Hicks.

Great! When I saw "The Wind that shakes the Barley" I thought: "Wow, great Uniforms (Black&Tans) and cool Partisans. But no Minis available. Until now  :mrgreen:  Will you do a Chari in Black leather coat kicking his collapsed motobike?!?

Lovely-looking figures. Got no immediate use for any of 'em at the minute myself, but lovely nonetheless.

I forsee those IRA fellas being put to a thousand-and-one uses other than those intended by the makers. They look like they'd be pretty versatile for various 20th Century games, and quite a boon to the Pulp set.

Very nice.
IMO the 2 packs without uniforms also fit very well into WW II Resistance or Volkssturm units, or?

Even if he hadn't done Brigade's Swashbucklers, I think Paul is one of my favorite sculptors on the market now. These are great.

Oh no you don't. Kane is being re-worked as I wasn't happy with the seperate arm. Won't be long though.  :wink:

Those are some nice figures!  The civilians are very useful figures.  What other options could the uniforms be used for?  I wonder...

Hi,

You can use them as British Territorials for WW1 and as dismounted cavalry. Okay might need to do a head swap on the cavalry 8)

Really good. What's best on the civilian types is the mix of firearms. Though I don't think I'll do irish (even if a small skirmish board would look nice...), I'll fetch some for pulp.

What you could do as some kind of gimmick would be a blister of british agents. Maybe you should offer a generic armed european civilan line next, with these and the anarchists from anglian there is a groundstock done.

For the black&tans - cut of the pompom and they don't look to different from requetes de Navarra.
