That said, he did get some a couple of days ago which are currently in the hands of the post office being delivered to the mould maker. Some command figures and....... NCO's! He wasn't sure which units they were for from memory but he said they were very nice  :D

Hurrah!  :) :)

Brilliant news! Although I suspect my credit card will be happy...  :)

Thanks Mad Guru. I guess that because they are there I will be tempted to paint them (although I will probably not put a number on them).

Knowing my luck, if I try to carve them off, it will just be a mess....

You're very welcome, Bindonblood, and I wish you luck with designs for your own helmet flashes.

Needless to say Plynkes was far more succinct than me. Truth is I'm in his camp and will simply file and/or sandpaper the flashes off -- except for officers for my 28th PNI.

Dewbabukl: thanks for the update!  Excellent news re: more Artizan officer & NCO sculpts.  I'll keep my fingers crossed they've got kilts on so I can finally get some properly equipped 92nd Highlanders into my Kabul Field Force for the Battle of Charasiab...

They look lurvely! Especially those Punjabis.....

I feel a purchase coming on...

After those Highland officers and ncos (a combined pack would be best) some British infantry without puttees would be nice.

I know, I want everything and I want it now..... ;)

Beautiful figures but... Artizan's release pattern is pure frustration, 27 packs of  British and you still can't complete a unit. Some Sikhs advancing others rather unhelpfully kneeing and no command figures  hardly makes a cohesive unit. Same with the the "British" figures, no musicians or ensigns and some figures with  bayonets fixed and some without( bug bear of mind, sorry). Yeah, I know that more packs are to  be released but the March or Die range has has 35 packs of French and no Algerian Tirralleur command versus three packs of Moroccans.
Anyway, beautiful figures that I just wish had a more cohesive plan  behind them similar to what Iron Duke did.

Ahhh... fantail, you took the words right out of my mouth... or mind... or fingertips... well, you get the idea!

These are great looking figures, especially the Punjabi officers, but the Highland infantry were released back in... December 2014, I think, and sadly, despite it being the middle of June, I still can't order figures to complete a full unit of them.  I don't really understand releasing a handful of figures from a wide array of troop types rather than all the figures from one or two troop types at a time.

Still, they are nice figures and fill a gap what's available, so I just hope they keep the figures coming and hopefully by the end of this year we will have officers and NCOs for all the troop types we've seen so far, with Gurkha infantry, officers and NCOs to follow at some point and Indian cavalry, British cavalry, and Afghan regular and tribal cavalry later on, and perhaps a heliograph team and pair of "High Command Character" packs for the British and Afghans as well.  I'm not pushing my luck asking for an elephant battery... but if Mike Owen sculpts one and Artizan releases it I'll be happy to buy a battery's worth!
