Kilts.

Two officers, one piper, one drummer.

Lovely sculpts.  

Oi! You've peeped!!  

Tomorrow will reveal all (I hope!). Get yer cards ready lads and lasses!

Thanks Ray. That sorts out one unit of Highlanders, I guess the others will have to wait.....

[Mad Guru]

Bindonblood,

I'm a huge admirer of your work!  I would humbly say you don't necessarily need to wait for your other unit of Highlanders, as the officers of the 72nd are known to have worn PUTTEES with their trews (made from matching tartan pattern material, which makes for a pretty cool & unusual looking detail), so you can easily use the already available British line infantry officers as HIghland officers of the 72nd, while the pipers of the 72nd actually wore KILTS, so once the kilted command pack is available, there's your piper for the 72nd as well. It's true, drummers for the 72nd probably wore trews, and mine does (I used the Perry Sudan British infantry in Indian service dress for the entire unit).  Of course do whatever you wish, just wanted you to have a bit more info!

I'm going to wait until I can see the pics on the NS site so I know exactly what I'm ordering. Not that i have any doubt that they will be good sculpts- I just always like to see what I'm ordering, helps with planning units and the like.

Me too, Darrell -- I won't be ordering my full battalion of kilted 92nd Highlanders until I see the pic of the Command pack with its officers & musicians... hopefully in the very near future on the Artizan website.

I don't think it will be long now- I hope!

Thank you Mad Guru. But, I am sure you have me mixed up with someone else.

It is not so much the trousered Highland officer, it is more the other types. Nco, standard bearer etc.

I already have the other ranks (not painted though), so for me it is just a matter of ordering the command...

I'm sure that Nick is just waiting for the pics from the photographer and that they'll be up soon.

Pics of the 3 new Command packs are up -- British & Highland "Command Groups," and Punjabi NCOs...







Not sure why the kilted Highland officers are wearing greatcoats en banderole across their shoulders when none of the several packs of kilted Highland troops are, but that's not a deal-breaker for me.  I'll finally place my order tonight after work.

EDIT: Whoops -- Nick beat me to it!

Agreed, I see an order happening over the weekend.
