In Her Majesty's Name

Nick:
Just checked out the pre-order link that you posted.
Is this line correct?:

'The Scotland Yard Company is made up of a Chief Inspector, a Sergeant and Nine Constables, plus the Dectective and Doctor assistant. '

It implies that there will be thirteen figures in this set.
Is this correct?
 

[nicknorthstar]

no. Darn it.

It's Seven constables.

It's Seven constables.

I thought that it might be.
Not that that will put me off, as I have been waiting for this, as I believe that this set is the perfect one for me. And the Chinese. And the Egyptian. And.....

So the Scotland Yard Company will be available from 20th May, right? If one preorders it before 18th April it can still count towards the £37/64/118 rewards though?

Theoretically, if one made an order which included this, then one could pick up available figures at Salute, followed by the rulebook and Scotland Yard being sent out in May?


What with having a system to put one's own forces together I can feel I'm going to be looking for suitable figures for a Society of Antiquaries Company or something like it. Ideas ideas.

[nicknorthstar]

Thats a yes to all those questions TheBlackCrane.

It's Seven constables.

Why? Because seven Constables is considered to be good luck down at the Yard y'know

Seven Constables might be a good pub name....

[Skrapwelder]

Seven for secrets never to be told.

Boxed sets all have 11 figs except the Tong -- the Yeti is the size of two figs.

Yes it is quite hard to choose isn't it... Though I think Curr's might be the weakest (though it is still very good). It is a set from which three minis would be enough for me so I hope they are sold seperately later on, even at a higher price....

Though I think Curr's might be the weakest (though it is still very good).

Which is interesting as I think it's the best one. Why do you think it's the weakest? Too normal* looking?

The basic troops in this one are fantastic as far as I'm concerned. I love the ex-army/street tough guys with shotguns and rifles. But then I also own the old Westwind victorian thug sets too.



*Whatever that means in this setting

I agree, they are my personal favourites as well. They are going to serve purpose very well on the streets of Whitechapel. Some might even make it to Mars in the employ of The Royal Geographical Society or the Illustrated London News
