Just been re-reading about the assaults on Athlone so to add to previous requests for engineer types, maybe also some storming party troops in half-armour. Interchangeable heads/arms featuring helmets and hats and various close quarter weapons might cut down the number of basic figures needed?

Cheers,

Toby

Just thought of some more

Armoured Pikemen with waist sashes and hats for French

Full Armoured Pikemen in Helmet, Tassets and Points at the knees rather than the ribbons for Swiss Troops (don't know if anybody has brought these up before they would make an interesting unit to build)

Swiss Muskets with points at knees rather than knee ribbons along with officers drummer etc etc

Unarmored Pikemen with waiste sashes and hats for English, Scots, Dutch

:-)

Also in the accessories range have loose muskets/flintlocks and hats pistols for adding to the dead and wounded troop figures and a pile of cannon balls defo a pile of cannon balls :-)

Grenadiers Firing Line in Fur Caps

Grenadiers attacking with bayonets and axes and pistols maybe make them more aggressive in their stances, like charging levelled muskets or sticking the bayonet in giving them more RARRRRR!! Hahah

Grenadiers for French Regiments they do look different

Maybe French infantry I believe they had a lot more Buttons to sleeves and jackets a minor difference but that's just me being a uniform nut :-)

Or French infantry in the slightly earlier uniform with ribbons and shorter sleeved coats

The possibilities are endless really

Over from the '1660 - 1721 Period' thread, The West Country 1685:

Warfare has produced William III, James II, Sarsfield, St Ruth and above now plans for Bonnie Dundee.

For the Sedgemoor Campaign any plans to produce Monmouth, Feversham or Churchill?

Oh :!: Will Bonnie Dundee see Hugh Mackey across the tabletop?

cheers

The sculpting schedule is pretty much continuous meaning, we will continue to add models into the process as and when priorities allow. Recently almost all of the sculpting time has been devoted to the GNW range (which is at a temporary halt due to the tragic death of Stewart Griffin).
More officers will appear. In fact a Bonnie Dundee figures is awaiting production moulding right now.
Keep the idea coming..

I do read them!

Best

Just to round out things a little, are any more personalities or senior officers likely to appear?

Merry Christmas

Only just noticed this thread - I trust it hasn't been replaced by another one that I also haven't found yet! I've had a quick look through the previous pages, and hopefully this won't duplicate anything that has gone before.

My interest is 28mm late-era armies for Field of Glory Renaissance (Duty & Glory book which covers 1660-1698), most particularly Bavarian, Saxon and Savoyard. Maybe an Anglo-Dutch at some point. On that basis, I just voted for Grand Alliance and GNW: for the latter, I'm primarily looking at infantry grenadiers (you can get away with British Guards in 15mm and smaller, but not in 28mm+), and maybe some passive-aggressive pike poses ("push of pike") for the Saxons. Other Saxon troop types and the Savoyards are generally well covered already (although I think the Savoy gunners were civilians up to 1696).

The distinctive stuff not yet covered will be Bavarian infantry: essentially two "line" versions, with and without coat lace ("with" being Leibgarde and Kurprinz, "without" being everyone else), but both with unique features not seen on existing figures; and grenadiers. The rest of the army - cuirassiers in german helmet, dragoons in tricorne, and artillery - are already well covered; assuming GA French will include hussars, those will be too, in due course. A Maximillian Emmanuel figure would also be nice.

If Hoffman is accurate, Bavarian foot were possibly wearing actual tricornes from the mid-1680s, and certainly from the mid-1690s when they adopted the distinctive blue coat for all infantry ranks (except sergeants who kept reversed colours). Other distinctions appear to have been water canteens, musket slings, slightly oversized cartridge boxes, and gaiters worn over the shoe, instead of inside; pikes were dropped (replaced by chevaux-de-frise) in 1686, and officers wore cuirasses at least until 1694. These infantry figures (apart from the officers) could double as early Marlburian British, who also wore full gaiters. I would be interested in sponsoring these if they are not already on the schedule.

However, my "must have" are grenadiers. AFAIK, only Reiver Castings make proper Bavarian grenadiers in 28mm (although I think there is a new Ebor figure I haven't seen yet); sadly the Reiver figures are not good, once described as wearing bulbous coats that made them look like they'd been shoplifting. Unfortunately, most manufacturers won't make them because of several distinctive features, and try to sell you Austrians instead. Ironically, both Austrians and other German troops could be depicted by proper Bavarian figures at certain times. The unique features of this troop type are a large grenade cartouche on the right hip, behind which is slung an axe; a large carriage pistol in a holster on the left front of the waistbelt (usually depicted next to the bayonet); a curved sword; a moustache; and a bearskin cap - tall for the 1680-1690 period - with a bag having a tassel hanging to the rear (rather than the side as per Austrians). Pack WLoA11 - the storming grenadiers - with the belly box removed, would be a good starting point in terms of masters/dollies etc.

Worth pursuing?

Fantastic! Looks like you already have two customers waiting.

Would agree with those Toby!

Maybe slightly out on a limb here but I wondered if there might be any possibility of a range of more general or generic figures, I was thinking of:

Troops on engineering tasks, digging, carrying fascines etc.
Civilians, some armed but most not. Women, children perhaps.
Civilian contractors, drivers, muleteers etc.
Clergy.
Animals, horses, mules, maybe casualties for same.

Cheers,

Toby

I would be very interested too in Franco-Dutch and other Grand alliance armies (imperials, italians,spaniards..)
