You heard it first on LAF: New French moderns Part 2
« on: 28 May 2010, 03:34:12 PM »
Yep more Eureka goodness. More French moderns/ FFL. All completely new sculpts, not just conversions of the previous set in beret. Twelve new figures in hemets, body armour and web kit. Sniper, radio operators, guys firing AT launchers, grenade launchers and a lovely figure with a light mortar. Every bit as good as the previous releases, Eureka really are the benchmark for moderns.
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Indeed. I suspect that there will be the usual scans on Chronofus website within a week or two, he sort of acts as the unofficial website until ranges are 'officially' released.

Available yes. Officially released no. If you email Nic you can usually obtain anything that's been cast, whether released or not. Exception might be a 100 club order that's yet to be released to those that have commissioned it but none of these moderns are in that particular category.

Is the fellow on the bottom left firing a Minimi from his shoulder? He'd better watch out for his teeth!
The rest of them look good though. Love the bipod-Famas for the mortar!
Tank? Vot kind of dumbkopf name is that for a Schutzengrabenvernichtungspanzer?
