No Artizan for Partizan? ... best eat some marzipan.

No idea sorry, but I presume it won't be too long because otherwise why would they need me to paint them now?

I'll be in the corner sulking with my packet of Marzipan  lol.

You going?

No, I don't find the time or funds for shows, other than Crusade in Penarth - and that's because it's just a 15 minute drive away.

Lovely work.

That second chap unsheathing his sword is a spitting image for a young Malcolm McDowell.

He looks more like a young Marc Warren playing a young Malcolm McDowell.  ;D

The first codes for the British and Sikhs are up on the Northstar site. No pictures yet but listings for five packs and an officer having a cup of tea.  :D

Damn it! I need to see the pics before ordering.... not because I think the sculpts will be off, far from it- I just need to plan what I'm going to buy to take on the Afghans!  :)

I know what you mean. I was hoping that the highlanders would make an early release but will plump for some British instead to fill the gap.  :)

Yeah, I've got a demo game to plan for Partizan next year and seeing as i'm a full time professional painter too I have to plan these things out in minutia!

Ray, does Mike have plans for the Gurkhas? Just thinking ahead.......  :)

I couldn't say Darrell. I know he does plan to cover the Indian army so would hope that Gurkhas would feature. You know what sculptors are like though..  ::)

It would be a nice idea to have a rough plan of what is coming in the future.

At least I've got a start with the Leicesters and 51st Sikhs.  ;)

Indeed! to be fair Nick was willing to divulge a little to me at Partizan but not too much. all hush hush anyway but nothing you haven't heard already I would guess matey.

At least I've got a start with the Leicesters and 51st Sikhs.  ;)

I've still got a zillion Pathans to paint so maybe I should slow down when it comes to purchases!! At least until I can see the pics that is  :D :)

@Cubs

Bravo, mate! Amazing work (as usual!).


Regarding the minis, I find this to be deeeply unfair. I've been self-debating back and forth between 2nd and 3rd Afghan War and especially suitable Sikhs... Yesterday I had finally decided on 3rd... and now this. Aaaargh!
