A little later than anticipated, but here are the new sculpts and I think well worth the wait. Matthew Bickley has pulled out all the stops for this batch, full of character...

First up are Crockett's Tennesseans. With more than a nod to John Wayne's The Alamo, from left to right:

Thimblerig, Bull, Parson and The Beekeeper:

Next two packs of generic Texians. The first are Texians in frock coats armed with long rifles:

Texians in buckskins also armed with a mixture of Kentucky and Pennsylvania rifles. The chap second from the right wears a hat made out of a Cougar/mountain lion skin:

Finally a pack of Mexian Sappers. These stout fellows formed part of the assault force who broke into the Alamo at dawn on 6th March 1836. Armed with axes and pickaxes they helped break in the blocked up windows and doors of the mission.

They will go off to the casters this week and should be available in a couple of weeks time via the website:

Wow!

As you said, full of character and a credit to the growing range.

The beekeeper! Perfect time of year for an unsavoury Oscars publicity campaign that leaves a sour taste in everyone's mouths!

Great sculpts.

Worth the wait, indeed, superb, Nick!

Absolutely stunning sculpts.

Thimblerig has to be my favourite though. I'm resurrecting my Old West stuff this year (going back to my war gaming roots, as such) and these will be on my shopping list.

Maybe the designer could negotiate a discount!

or we could start lobbying for Senior Citizen prices?

Lovely figures, a nice growing range. I can see, that in the future, much of my gaming will be down Mexico way.........

Growing more esoteric with every release

It's a good job you're only doing this for love and your own amusement, because there can't, surely, be a market for Mexican sappers - can there?

Love the chap with the peg-leg. Certainly a lot of character and detail in this work.

Again everyone's a character, how does he do it! Love 'em Nicco

Surprisingly these are the ones people have been asking for for ages.

Yikes! Those are nice!

Nick, you got to be building the best Mexican American range on the market...

Sw these in the flesh on Friday and they are as good, if not better than the photos
