HLBSC Victorian British Cavalry - Available NOW, but not for long!!!

[Sterling Moose]

Gentlemen,
I got a very nice email from Richard at HLBSC today       :

Dear Peter,

I will be doing a final run of the VSF Cavalry shortly as a few people have asked and especially because of the support of gamers like yourself and those on Lead Adventure who have chipped in to get some of the other current 28mm lines. I've attached a list so if you could let me know what you would like. Also if you could make this common knowledge it would help greatly as this will be the final run.

All the best
Richard

Here's your chance to stock up on goodies before they disappear.......maybe forever.  The figures do not currently appear on Richard's website.  However his email is in the Contacts tab on the Homepage (enquiriesAThlbs.fsbusiness.co.uk), and IIRC he does take Paypal.

Sterling Moose...that sounds good. I like the HLBS stuff and had planned an order anyway. But have you or anyone on the forum got any pictures of any of these? Has anyone seen them? Please do post them so we can all have a look.

Bloody marvellous news, thanks for sharing Sterling.

I'm thinking about geting some of the lancers (obviously armed with magnetic explosives) and the Household Cavalry. As theammedgatling said are there any pics floating about anywhere?

I have some Household cavalry, still unpainted. I'll try and get a photo up over the weekend.

They dont like it up 'em you know.

[nickinsomerset]

Do you have a Photobucket account or something similar like an image hosting site?

If so all you need to do is copy and paste the Image code from the photo into your post here.

Alternatively if you become a supporting member here you can open your own gallery.

[nickinsomerset]

How do I do the supporting members bit?

Bottom of the homepage, is a link saying Lead Adventure Support. Click on there. You may well find the instructions in German. If you have trouble drop Prof Witcheimer a PM and he will guide you through.

Excellent news!

Unfortunately, this has thrown my February buying plan into complete disarray as they have become "must have" number 1.   

[nickinsomerset]

Cheers Nick,

my German is restricted to buying beer and asking if they have seen my panzer! I have also emailed some phots to old Moose, 6 photos Blues, Royals and Dragoons with some Foundry Prussian Cav and Helion and Co Uhlans for comparison. If I fail in my task hopefully he will be able to post,

Tally Ho!

[Ray Rivers]

 

Damn!

Couldn't help myself.  Have already sent Richard an email with an order.

My wife will have me shot at dawn...

[JollyBob]

Well, just emailed to see if I can get hold of some of the Dragoons. JollyBob Senior has been after some in Victorian uniform for absolutely ages.

If they are as good as everyone says, there may be an order for some of the other regiments too. The Daddy does like his massed ranks of parade dress cavalry. 

[Calimero]

Damn!

Couldn't help myself.  Have already sent Richard an email with an order.

At least you’ll die as an happy man!

Most likely we will all be lined up against the wall together, and its probably going to be a very long line
