Tbh whatever he makes I'm likely to buy, so purely the fact that Nick will discuss this with Mark is exciting news for me.

Good point Keith. Great just to see the great man working again, and contemplating additions to at least one of his ranges.

That said...

15mm Barbarica Pict command and characters please. If he’s taking orders  :D
(Just saying... Sorry BoBers!)

Please form an orderly queue for the unrealisable fantasy purchases...  lol

Mark is making a set of female Specialist Soldiers for Frostgrave, to accompany the plastic Female Soldiers coming out later this year (not designed by him). That's part of Frostgrave, not Copplestone Castings. We've the Barbarian, Thief and Apothecary going into moulds this week.

Ooooh, I’m excited.  It was this swine that got me so involved in this madness, and I will buy whatever he produces.  So many good ideas on here already, but here’s my thruppence....

1. Basmachis - mounted and foot
2. Tibetans - some great ideas here already
3. Uzbek and ’Transcaspian’ mounted and foot
4. Irregular Caucasus foot (tooled up with bullet belts and lamb wool hats)
5. Poles - an army I’d love to do
6. Czech legion cavalry

As it seems to be going all-genre now, I have a simple request. Generic African tribesmen wearing knee-length cloth kilts/skirts and with no other adornment, as opposed to the almost ubiquitous Tarzan-style loincloths most figures have. That would be just so handy for conversions. So many of the East African peoples wore things like that and you either have to saw up otherwise completely unsuitable figures or get the greenstuff out to reproduce the look.

"Generic spear guy with a bath-towel around his waste" being available would save so much work for me in my conversions.  :)

I like the idea of a "generic" range of figures. Also, the suggestion of drivers for the Models of Yesteryear range is excellent! Turkish cavalry-YES! Some rifle armed/lewis armed arabs would also be great to compliment the Artizan range. Indian cavalry.... please, please, please.

Not to mention, mobsters and cops hanging off the side of the vehicle, firing a Tommy-gun.

Hmmmm - Basmachis would be nice, as would the Caucasians and Uzbeks (now if only Mark would do these while working on a small range of North African types for Tangiers 1680.....)

How about a gun and crew for the British range plus cavalry please.

Happy with the Russians as you can use some of the reds with lewis guns as white's, same with the Ensigns and mounted officers.

Like someone said earlier

* Foot Basmachis
* Mounted Basmachis
* Basmachi command (inc. Enver Pasha/Emir of Bokhara, or they could be a separate pack like the Chinese Warlord/Mad Baron)

* Japanese infantry
* Japanese cavalry
* Japanese command
* Japanese HMG

* Austrian/German PoWs in Bolshevik service (tatty old uniforms with bits of newer stuff, etc.)

* Armenians (purely because of the recent talk/upcoming Dunsterforce book)

Anything that would fall into 1912 to 1929 would help. The time frame most of us seem to be concentrated in is in the late teens to the early 20s.

Well, I need to put my oar in...…..
Basmachis, Japanese, and Indian troops would be very nice, but I would surely buy anything that the Great Man puts out (especially Chinese - One can never have enough Chinese - something that my wife is increasingly objecting to  lol lol)
