Sorry to be impatient but any news of the castings!..., need them badly gotta get my fix of metal!

Hi,

Just a heads up. First batch of Paraguayans arrived from Griffin Moulds and will be available through Empress Miniatures in a couple of weeks.

Brazilian infantry manikins are ready and bound to Griffin for casting. Hope to have the greens ready for production in a few weeks.

Cheers,

Nuno

Great news!

Good, will start selling off lots of the nations treasures ( sorry junk ) so I can buy loads.

Hi,

Once the e-commerce shop is up and running I'll also sell the range directly. Empress will sell and take care of international distribution.

More news soon.

Really looking forward to seeing these 'in hand'!

Hi all,

First packs are available on the Paraguayan War Range page. Prices already include shipping costs so you just have to chose your location.

I hope to have a better e-commerce site in the future.

Best regards,

Nuno

Hi,

Thanks for the support. I just want to say that I'll be on holidays until August 16. All orders received after today will be mailed after that date.

Cheers,

Nuno

Hi,

Next in line are some Brazilian infantry packs:

Line Infantry marching/running, kepi (shouldered musket)
Light Infantry advancing/skirmishing, kepi (Minié rifle/sabre bayonet)
Line Infantry command

I've been wondering if it's a good idea to provide separate heads sets for converting figures. Instead of releasing packs with the same figures with just different headgear we could make the most used uniforms types with a particular headgear (Regulars w/ kepis and caps; Volunteers w/ pleated tunics, hats; Infantry w/ havelocks; etc) to reduce costs. What do you think?

After these are released I plan to launch a crowdfunding project to release the rest of the range. How many of you would back the range?

Cheers,

Nuno

It would make sense to me, keep your new packs as command and characters etc. It sounds interesting to me, a little niche though I like that, you need to pimp it up to get lots of backers

[Kingscarbine]

Very niche but I hope to bring many souls to the dark side once they see the photos of painted battalions massing on the table. I'll have to revise the list to see if I can fit more command and character packs.

[Kingscarbine]

Figures are available again. I've updated prices and shipping and hope to have lots of orders soon. The more you buy the more I can invest on new packs, so get those wallets, cheques and credit cards ready.

Heads up!

First ten costumers to buy at least three packs will receive a pair of Brazilian officers figures from the upcoming command pack.

Now also available on Empress site: http://www.empressminiatures.com/userimages/procart89.htm

Hi,

There's no release date for the Brazilian infantry yet as I decided to have the Line Infantry (Fuzileiros) done first. So, the next packs will be:

Brazil
-Fusiliers, marching (w/ kepi; barracks cap)
-Fusiliers, skirmishing (w/ kepi; barracks cap)
-Fusiliers Command (2 officers, 2 standard bearers, 2 musicians)

Starting now I'll accept pre-orders for the miniatures as a form of crowdfunding. The miniatures for both armies will be sculpted based on stretch goals and on the amount of pre-orders raised. Basically for every three packs I'll need to raise £2000 for sculpting and production. As soon as that goal is reached the figures will enter the production line. For every £6000 achieved  a mounted command pack will be released (free for pre-orders). If you change your mind you can request a refund. All pre-orders are post free.
