New Perry Releases

[Volleyfire!]

Ala said to me they are still going to do plastic Agincourt Cavalry and US troops for Africa and Italy (2nd WW)

Oh phooey, I was praying for some Italian Paras. I read somewhere though that whichever of them does the WW2 (Alan??)
has to get some motivation from somewhere before he can face doing them.  I found Paolo Morisi's book on the Folgore very inspiring reading recently, I hope someone recommends it to them.

Michael does the WW2 stuff. I wouldn't rule out paras as the Italian WW2 sub-range still seems to be going strong with regular new releases, but they'd almost certainly be metal figures, not plastics.

Are the US troops to be plastic or metal? Probably moot anyway as they will be too small to go with my other staff but I'm curious none the less.

Yes I should have made myself more plain, I wasn't expecting them to be in plastic, just metal like the rest of the Italian range. I read that Alan is thinking about doing them but needs more motivation before he can apply himself.

Rorke's Drift characters greens :




The 17th Lancers are also in the pipeline according the Perry FB page.

The Drift figures look superb, my order is straining at the leash.

We have an embarrassment of riches regarding KwaJim these days. Part of me is sorry they are going over old ground that has been more than adequately covered already by Empress, and wishing they'd do some things we don't already have.

The rest of me is saying "bloody lovely!", however.

We were in the pub after Salute and the Perries sat down at the table next to us. They were very good, taking it in turns to be harangued about 'needed' figures. It looks like Zulus are the next plastics to be released. Spanish Napoleonics got the 'nod' that they were on the list at some point, as were Spanish heads for the 1450-1500 range. They have been promising US troops for Europe for some time so we made our case that we lacked anatomically correct WWII Americans (the new Empress are later than we want and Offensive only do paras) - but we've been telling them that since the 8th Army box came out.

Spanish heads for the 1450-1500 range. 

This would be great, makes a lot of sense to me. The Americans for WW2 are natural, because this can bring money in the bags. A lot of american gamers will buy, I think. Hoped for plastic Afghans, because there are some nice plastic zulus from warlord, but it is their decision.

Exactly my thoughts too

[Andrei1975]

Yes, plastic Afghans, that would be great! And another plastic British cavalry for the period, and artillery

[italwars]

Don t lile them ..they are nt iconic at all...i strongly preferì Hollywood type characters...Chard,Bromehead and Bourne could represent any tired soldier...Being wargame personalities  they should be more symbolic and less anonymous...

[MaleGriffin]

For me, these are must haves! I have the Empress Hollywood & Historical figures, but I have always been a fan of the Perry Twins' work and really love the new sculpts.

I would add my voice to the need for plastic Zulu War cavalry and NWF natives.

[THE CID]

Metal not plastic, please.

Lovely figures all round. Super character and will be lovely to paint.

On another note to do with South Africa, I do hope they get back to the Kaffir Wars (Xhosa Wars) as I wanting to paint the CMR that was shown on their FB page.
