Cog Division of the Household Cavalry 28mm VSF Now on general release[Trade]

[Richard]

Love the new mounts and troopers are rather keen, but isn't it damnably difficult to mount without stirrups?  

Or do the steam mounts simply kneel like camels? 

Ah left front legs folds back and up to form a step to get on and a clip on the inside of the boots attaches to the horse for riding. Or of course the stirrup is missing but I like your camel option, oh which one is it?

[Richard]

Heavy Horse more or less finished this will be used for a Farrier, Kettle Drummer and various members of the Machine Gun grew. If the project does well it will also be used for Artillery with a twist, all riders are inter-changeable with both standard and heavy horse as we have kept the saddle the same.

[Richard]

WIP of Farrier on Heavy Horse, this figure will be in the command packs, with Senior Officer, Junior Officer, Trumpeter all on Standard Steam Horses and Kettle Drum on Heavy Horse. The command pack will also be available in a fighting / charging pose. Launches on Kickstarter 25th March getting close now.

Details of units are now available at http://www.coppermineminiatures.co.uk/units/4591987342



The machine gun unit is very much a work in progress as only the machine gunner has been started and needs some alterations.

Remember they is no risk in pledging early, as if we don't reach our goal you will not be charged any money. By pledging early you give others confidence in the project and we are more likely to reach the stretch goals you may want. You can always cancel your pledges later if we do not reach the stretch goal you want.

First WIP of the fighting private and horse, I am planning to do a couple of fighting poses for this unit.

[Richard]

I have posted a video of a WIP of the Private for the ladies unit here: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBplam9pOwvGPfJ3LBcaKIg or here:http://www.facebook.com/coppermineminiatures and you can pledge here:http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/926673037/cog-division-of-the-household-cavalry-28mm-vsf-min She has a gun that fires sand, gravel, lead shot or anything small put in the hopper on the side of the horse. The material is then sucked into the unit on her back and fired, this is all magically powered from the horse. Watch out this lot will hurt!

WIP of Farrier Running to fix damaged / broken down steam horse for stretch goal 2.
