A very promising announcement I would say. I am all earsbarr7430 wrote:....
On the GNW Front, the first test sculpt is already completed and I am just waiting to get a good quality shot of that to let the Forum have a look. I will actively go forward with the 'subscription idea' and provide more details over the next few weeks.
In terms of putting together:
Saxon
Saxon/Polish
Swedish
Russian
Danish
Armies, I hope to confer with my chums and Forum members such as Gunter, Dannie,Dan and others to show how available Warfare figures can be accurately deployed into armies from the Skane Wars through to 1721. We'll probably set up an area on the site or a separate, affiliated blog for this.

Hopefully there is enough meat here for you to get your teeth into and a reassurance that I am not just playing about with this range

Wonderful news, am still fully signed up on the GNW myself. Not that anyone should have noticed, but, my attendance here and elsewhere online has been spotty since late November. My faithful old Dell lost its motherboard four weeks ago and I had to go PC shopping.
Had been (very happily) running XP for years, evolving up through XP3 and awaiting upgrading until MS was to drop XP support in early 2014. Well that all changed overnight, me going from XP3 to Windows 8 in 24 hours. Talk about your "quantum leap"! Very steep learning curve the first week or so, muttered "This sucker is going back!" many times.
At any rate am now in a position to pay more attention to the goings on at LoA. BTW, did I miss the availability of "Apostles Battalion Packs"?

Michael, it has been on the to do list for a while. I will hopefully get some progress on that front over the break. I have been trying to think of the most useful/imaginative way to do it in terms of battalions construction. I have finally(I think) come up with the method.
What I intend to do is offer the battalion packs 'themed' although the final designations are not decided but along the line as follows:
1. At the ready (unit standing ready to fire - as many head variants as possible in those poses with appropriate command)
2.Volley Fire (unit firing both front and rear ranks,with command and sergeants as appropriate)
3. Engaged (unit in various stages of firing and loading, with command and sergeants as appropriate)
4. Under pressure (unit with casualty pack included, officers and sergeants as appropriate)
I have painted up quite a few all in the same coats and intend to model and photograph these variants over the next week so that everyone can see them. I will still offer the packs as normal but the variants should illustrate the themes that the models can be used for.
Cheers

BTW, to anyone else using Windows 8 here? LoA seems to act up a bit, the pages bouncing and resizing at times. For example if I try to "mouse on" to the text window expansion "arrow" at right, it moves away and I cannot "grasp" it.
I suspect my older MS IntelliMouse being the culprit though Win8 pronounces it "operating normally. Continuing hold on tightly to this Win8 bucking bronco...
