Pics of the skirmish frame to follow when the twins get the sprues from Renedra. Freebie figure for the usual three-box deal is a metal Joshua Chamberlain :

Finally, and a bugler to boot!

[zippyfusenet]

Not bad.

The Union forever! Hurrah, boys, hurrah!

[Norm]

Looking good.

[RedRowan]

Been looking forward to these and just placed my first order.

Not bad but I am still not sold on the separate hats, I still prefer separate heads.

I'm not the only one excited about the bugler!  Looks like I will be able to move on to the next phase of my Texas Unionist brigade.

These look great. The ACW is a period that I'm finding difficult to avoid...

Somebody with Facebook should let them know that this means that there are no more unreleased minis on the 'plastics workbench' section of their site. I suppose that means we can expect some exciting news at Crisis!

Actually, the Zulu British are still on there. 

Besides, it tends to be Salute where they show greens for new plastic sets.

Indeed.

The twins learned their lesson a while ago when they realised that previewing six or seven forthcoming sets at once would only result in their getting hassled with release date queries for the next couple of years. As a result, they now only announce what they intend to release over the next twelve months and they usually do it at Salute. So I agree with Steve that unless Alan and Michael change their minds about that, we're unlikely to see previews of the 2017 plastic releases until April, the Zulu war British infantry being probably slated for a January/February release.

I could have sworn those Zulu Brits were released, but obviously not! Not my scene, colonials.

I understand their reticence to show far-off sculpts. I wonder if they'll start new ranges or supplement existing ranges with plastics, now that most of them have at least one plastic set available..? Anyway, I'm dragging this thread a bit off-topic, so I'll cease thinking aloud.

And here are the skirmishers :

[RedRowan]

Liking these a lot, they really are cramming a lot of extra stuff into this set.

Do Perry sold single sprues as well as boxed sets?

[RedRowan]

The command and skirmish sprues should be available on their site when the box is released according to their facebook page.
