Artizan NWF Next Releases?

[The Gray Ghost]

I agree it is a little frustrating but I love that I can now have some Afghan regulars

[Atheling]

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!

I've got to add..... whilst the sculpts are delightful, there is room for some drummers and pipers too hopefully in the future..... we do ask for a lot!! (the irony being that I don't think there has ever been a time where there has been so much choice.

I do think that NS are missing a trick in not taking into mind the above suggestions as the Perry NWF range will not be far behind (I'm guessing NTW!!) and The Twins (TM) will produce packs at a rate of knots!! I'm hoping to use the Artizan stuff for skirmishing and the Perry Stuff for larger engagements.

Looking forward to seeing those highlanders.

Any more NCO's forthcoming?

Darrell.

[Arthur]

NCO's : nope

Sikh officers : check

[Atheling]

They are very nice and characterful sculpts but.......

NCO's : nope

Sikh officers : check

Doh!  

The NCO's are the first 'character' type packs that should have been done IMHO.

It sort of stalls the project without them- I know there's one set for the Brits but now't for anyone else...... it's a good job I chose to use the Artizan mini's as Skirmish and the up and coming Perry Plastics for regimental actions etc!

Got the Punjabi NCOs in the Mould right now, Sikh NCO will be coming next.

[Ray Earle]

I like the sound of those Punjabi and Sikh NCO's.

The Sikh officers look great too. 

Could do with some Highlanders loading etc. like the first couple of British 'standing' packs.. Because I haven't obviously got enough men in kilts already. 

[Mad Guru]

Nick, that's good news about the Punjabi NCOs being so close to available.  Sorry to be a nag but any idea when the Highland officer and/or NCO sets (I imagine there will be a piper included with one or the other) will be arriving...?

[Atheling]

That is definitely very good news. 

Darrell.

[nicknorthstar]

Oh yeah, the Scots Command will be available Monday as well, I've just not got photos yet. (yes, includes Piper)

[Bindonblood]

So, the Scots command is a one per unit pack, rather than just officers.

But, are they kilts or trousers?

[Ray Earle]

Kilts.

Two officers, one piper, one drummer.

Lovely sculpts.
