Is there any figures released by any company in the last two years that has not been sculpted my Mr Hicks? Not a critisism- as I buy as many of his sculpts as I can afford!

I like these- not my period but very interesting anyway- is this the same period that the Tom Cruise film 'Last Samurai' is set?

Will it stretch into the Satsuma Rebellion/Last of the Samurai periodnas well?

I think that can work well.

Please make sure that you post in this thread when they are ready.

I really do not want to miss them.

Sure!

Would these work for Gilbert and Sullivan themed games?

Sorry, I don't know Gilbert and Sullivan themed games.

More or less, The last samurai is a mix of the Boshin War and Satsuma Rebellion.

Carlos, you are incorrigible!

Best of luck with the venture, rokurota! They look great!

Very nice, I'll be picking up a pack

It’s a risky bet given that it is a very little known conflict and I can’t know if it will be accepted,
this means that its success and continuity of this range of miniatures depends mostly on the interested people.

Obscure for sure, but I think Wargames Illustrated recently ran a series of articles on 19thC Japan, which included one on the Boshin War - so you never know.

An other range started with Hicks Sculpts that finished after 10 packs, I'm afraid. Maybe I'm too pessimistic

Well I would be happy with whatever is made, to be honest, as I will not be looking for an army just a few packs of characterful figures for use in Pulp and VSF.

Good luck with your venture

Could be the start of a new EotD faction, the period is about right.

Now that's an interesting idea, set it in Japan and I think you're onto a little niche winner.

I'll be getting them for their intended purpose though

Would you care to elaborate? I'm rather new to the whole thing (besides some ACW modelling and gaming for the better part of twenty years

). I know Mr Hicks works for a lot of companies/people but most seem to get added every now and then.

Skrapwelder · « **Reply #26 on:** February 13, 2013, 09:35:31 PM »

I like these very much and am looking forward to a release.

Very nice Sir.

OSHIROmodels · « **Reply #27 on:** February 16, 2013, 11:20:40 AM »

Any news on a release date?

cheers

I have the masters, I'm really glad with how they have turned out.
I think that they will be ready in a week more or less, once the production mould has been made.
