Hi Folks,

Please checkout Soapy's blog on the upcoming WW1 miniatures:

There is another topic which is right up Hammers alley for his club (some of these guys will be useful for WW1&WW2):

A big thanks to Soapy for all his work todate.

Helen

Very nice indeed, especially those huntsmen

Lordy, lordy!

(I know... I know... The thing is this place is so fucking rife with brilliantness that one has run out of original little perky exclamations about how clever everyone is. Which certainly applies to soapy. Clever, that is.)

These are very nice and very useful!

Are those shooting types for general sale? Sounds like they are a private project. I simply must have the one with the Alpine hat. I need him for the FFFFF!

I'm a big fan of Soapy, and wouldn't normally criticise, but something about those Adrians looks off to me. They don't look quite right.

They are very nice, I think the Adrians seem to appear to be sitting a bit high on the head possibly or the helmet rim is a tiny bit too small. Cnt put my finger on it but know what you mean

There’s obliviously something wrong with the Adrian helmet. I think that the top part (bombe) is a little too high and that the rim is too narrow…

It’s just a comment, I like the figures and I will buy some off them as soon as I can.

I love the hunting team. I hate personal collections.

I'm sure Soapy can mention about this set of fine gentlemen as he is a member of the LAF. If it's a private set then maybe strong voices to Gripping Beast about a neat range of fine gentlemen and women (lets not forget us) needs to be looked at.

As for the adrian helmet, lets not be too hasty as it's only in the green stage at the moment an I'm sure Soapy eyes everything to makes sure it looks right.

At long last we can have a decent range of WW1 forces being represented on the gaming table for different campaigns and fronts. Well done Master Soapy and Gripping Beast!

I hope my post didn’t sound too harsh… English is not my first language. I understand that these figures are at the green stage and I would be glad to know that Soapy had the time to fix them if needs be. As I said, I do love these figures and will surely buy them. I was really happy this morning when I opened my computer on the LAF and see that, at least, some late war French would be available... especially with the release of the colonial heads.

Helen, I've noticed the shooting party are on the Salute preview page of the Gripping Beast website and listed as £6 for the pack.

So it would seem they will be available for general sale, which is good news for everybody.

You didn't sound too harsh an I don't speak English either, as I speak Australian

I agree, I just love what is happening for WW1 at the moment and French colonials are one of my favourite troops.

Thanks Dylan, that is good news, indeed!

Hammers will certainly be pleased
