Very nice indeed.

I take it that there have not - as yet - been any mounted figs made?

Matt said to me they are on the first phase as well. So I'd expect to see them.

Lovely sculpts, I'm particularly imprssed by the job they've done with the SMLEs, best sculpt I've seen to date, he's even managed to get the rear sight right and no six inch barrel extension like so many out there.

My only criticism would be that the pose number 2 for the hotchkiss looks a little wooden and unreal. My only suggestion would be that they might want to consider some slightly more dynamic poses to add to the range. Usually, I'm a fan of the Copplestone style. ranks of advancing men but I think the popular picture of Light Horsemen, whether it's from Peter Weir (groan) or the pages of  Ion Idriess is chaps dashing forward  or running in a half crouch under fire. Not a criticism but I suspect popular imagination + the recent whines about wooden posing may impact sales.

Definitley tempted by these!

A Hotchkiss! A-maz-ing!
Please let me know when these are available. Wasn't planning on adding the ALH anytime soon, but you've changed my mind.

Saw them in the flesh. Very nice sculpts but they are tiny. Much smaller than most other Great War era ranges out there, except maybe Eureka, whose Turks they matched up with pretty well. That's a real dissapointment and I think it's a rather silly move business wise. I would have bought some had they been a bit bigger.

They are lovely figures. The Hotchkiss was referred to as an automatic rifle. The machine gun was a different gun, capable of being mounted and fired from a tripod. The Hotchkiss automatic rifle was fired from a bipod. The distinction, which determined whether indirect fire could be used, was the basis for the different naming convention in the British army. Today, it would be known as an LMG whereas the Hotchkiss MG was the equivalent of an MMG.

There is a lovely video of one here:

Does anyone have a pic of these dudes vs other Anzac minis?
