In Her Majesty's Name

[Craig]

One of the things that made this project 'real' for Charles and I was the arrival from Phil at Osprey of the internal illustrations. First as sketches and then a glorious full colour plates.

One of these illustrations even led to an entirely new section being added to the rules.

So I'd like to direct you to the website of the talented Canadian illustrator Jesse McGibney: mcgibs.iseenothing.com/port

I know that Steve Saleh at Northstar used some of Jesse's work as the inspiration for such figures as Mohan Singh of Lord Curr's Incorrigibles. The vision of this huge man, barechested and firing a maxim gun from the hip is one of my favourites.

Agreed. It is a lovely figure,  ::)shame ghat there isn't another way to get hold of her (oo-er). Maybe an extra payment on the pre-order perhaps?

Find a friend and put in a big order then you could share her.



Probably not a good suggestion, but you know what I mean.

[Ray Earle]

Indeed.

Top half or bottom?

Figures look sweet...

I often feel Steven Saleh is the Mark Copplestone of this age. A much underrated sculptor who never fails to impress (his Foundry and Gorgon Studio's greeks are fantastic).

[Grimjack]

Saleh is currently the finest sculptor available, he creates exquisite works of art. Forget putty, he could take ear wax and turn it into miniature gold.

All Hail the Saleh!

Oh dear, I see the potential for a 'my sculptor is better than your sculptor' flame war.

Regardless everyone knows that Paul Hicks is the Messiah of the green stuff.

but can he sculpt earwax?

We have just received our advance figures from Nick - thanks mate  A small perk of being the authors.

I'll review them properly once I get the chance to sit down but after a quick glance I can say that they are everything we expected and more. The detail on the figures is exquisite - well done Steve! And I can see that they are going to be a joy to paint.

So time get my painting and basing kit out and get basecoating! After all I have over 40 figures to paint before Salute 

[Ray Earle]

You're not going to get any sympathy you know Craig.

I couldn't help it, even though I'm strictly an historical gamer; I just can't resist Victorian stuff, so the order has been placed!!!!

[Grimjack]

The figures for Lord Curr's Company are truly full of character. i have been fortunate enough to receive some for review for Wargames Illustrated Online (coming out soon-ish) and the majority would grace any Victorian game, both VSF and Holmesian / Ripper Street. I have also been lucky enough to see the figures which Steve is working on for the Nickstarter and whomever has made the 'pledge', you are in for a real treat!

Don't forget, there will be the game at Salute run by we of the White Hart Wargamers (now 'as was') and there will be painted examples, plus more, available to view at our table, as created by Dewkabuk.

So is it you guys who are running the IHMN demo games? 
If so has Nick told you that Charles and I shall be attending? The main reason being to come along and help out...?

[Grimjack]

Indeed, five stalwart gentlemen and one valet will be attending Salute to enable members of the public to partake of adventures requiring derring-do, controlled violence and just a little snifter of port.

Will be starting a thread on the board build this weekend (assuming the weather holds off a little).
