at last The Highlanders & Lowlanders

Post by barr7430 » Fri Nov 28, 2014 10:09 pm

Here is the start of a range of figures which will cover Scots warriors from 1640-1719. The first four codes can be used particularly for the first, second and third Jacobite Risings (1689, 1715 and 1719).
Within 2 months the following codes will also be released:

Highlanders Charging (mixed weapons)
Highland Command (Including Bonnie Dundee mounted)
Highlanders Standing open handed (Lochaber axes or pikes)

Within 6 months the following codes will be added:

Lowland pikemen in bonnets (and plaid)
Lowland pikemen in hats
Infantry Command

These go well with codes WLOA80-87 Infantry with apostles.

The blog will feature the the first 7 packs in detail over the next few weeks.

The first four packs can be ordered now for shipping before December 31 2014.

Chas,
we are at the choke point in the process. I have 16 sets of Swedes at the caster awaiting production, some of those have been there for 5 weeks. As many UK manufacturers are now using the same caster the lead times are extremely long which is very frustrating. I can do nothing and won't advertise them for sale until I have a definite production delivery date. 4 further sets are being sculpted right now. So, hopefully, before Christmas we'll have 16 codes on sale with 4 new ones to follow soon.

Frustrating I know, but getting a range to market is a long haul.

I honestly know what you are talking about.... :roll:
