hey guys, I'm down here at studio Broadbent in Canberra, been at Cancon (Australia's largest gaming con) and I thought I tempt you with some pics of what's on the work table. I can't post up to my photo bucket acc here but Facebook is working, so they have gone up on there. Heres the link: Show me new stuff!
There is more to come, but that's for tomorrow cause I like to tease!  |

I'll be ordering some of those! Will it be possible to buy an entire prone unit? The British are sold in units of 15 figures vs the AQotMF British organization of 10 men per unit - would it be possible to get the unit's HMG figure separately so 3 10-man units could be made from two packs of 15?

Nice, yes a bayonet (short one please) would be fine - and by all means a mg figure as well - think what the standard squad going to ground would look like. Maybe an officer or sergeant type?? In face the usual squad is fine, all prone.

Yep, Loyalist we can change how the British are soldiers you want it a certain way, there's nothing definite about our packaging ATM. You can make "special orders" if you like of whatever you want in a blister, but it might cost a little extra due to the extra spins. Just let me know what you want when you place an order. Having said that, I must admit (with an embarrassed grin  ) that I'd misread the British unit size, and had read it as 3 elements. So that leads me to the question of whether you guys would prefer me to downsize a blister of British Infantry to a 10 man blister, or upgrade it to a 20 man, 2 unit blister and price it accordingly? Both an upscale and a downscale will adjust pricing. Personally, I'd probably prefer the single unit 10 man pack, just for ease at this end. It also makes the starter packs similar points value which is nice for someone wanting a starter pack of each force. madmorgan: I had thought of making these a separate blister called something like the "prone Infantry blister" or a "hidden infantry blister", but it would probably only have say 2-3 generic style prone guys to fill all the normal infantry positions, a sergeant, LMG and a grenadier. Does that make sense? I had also thought of a few kneeling guys to be used in the prone blister or the other infantry blister pack. Cavalry work in progress pics will come later today. |

I really don't have a problem with 15 figure British packs, get two and you've got 3 squads with nice weapon mix! And British troops are sometimes used by folks for other colonial looking powers and nations. So, no don't change it - good price, good product.

Looking promising! Will they have lances or rifles?

One of each, a carbine unit & a Lance unit, pretty much the same figure with a different arm for the lancer ( also with the gun slung over the shoulder).
It will also have a sergent (or maybe an officer, not sure yet) on a rearing horse, let me know which you'd prefer.
Not sure how many individual models, is a cav unit 3 elements with 2 models per element? Having said that, there will be the 2 different horses and they will be seperate, so using the different horses will allow you to mix n match.

I'd prefer the Sgt. Cav. figure Not be rearing - it makes for hard storage and easy breakage. Give him a distinct helmet or shoulder flashes/tabs or some such. Remember we can paint the horse a different color from the rest in order to show him off.  |

Remember we can paint the horse a different color from the rest in order to show him off. Could you make the Sgt. figure an officer instead, with a cap like the dismounted officer figure's? That would stand out from the troopers with helmets. |

I'll pass that along, don't think it should be a problem.
