Dans l'après midi, un nouveau rendu des hypaspists.

[Durgrim l'Ancien]

Du FB :

We have now received the renders of our forthcoming Hypaspist set. There is much conjecture amongst historians on the equipment carried but we have decided to go with thrusting spears and the large Hoplite shield. For those customers who want to arm their Hypaspists with pikes this can easily be done by taking the arms from the Macedonian pikemen set.

The helmets you see are decorated with horse tail crests which indicates a guard or elite unit. However, we will also be including Coirinthian helmets in this set. I am still waiting for the sculpting to be finished on these and hope to show these off sometime over the weekend.

The 2 images below are the final part of the latest project to complete our range of Greek and Macedonian foot troops.

The hoplites are made by combining the Hypaspist bodies with the Corinthian head options that are included in the Hypaspists set. This will enable customers to make them into Hoplites at the ready.

The Eastern Phalangites are made by removing the legs from the Successor Phalangites and using the trousered leg options that are included on the frame. The legs are attached to bases so this will be a very simple conversion.

The Numidian horse are next. After that I am not sure but perhaps a different period, at present no firm decisions.

Ils sont enfin là !

Du FB :

Here are the first views of one of the Numidian Cavalry we are working on for release mid 2016. Please note it is work in progress and there will be a few sculpting tweaks required.

Each frame will comprise 3 separate horses, 3 figures with interchangeable arm and head options. We will also include a helmeted head, cloak and sword arm for the officer, a standard bearer arm plus hand options for the shield arms with and without additional javelins. Steve at LBMS will of course be producing shield transfers.

The number of figures per set and the price are yet to be decided.

In the discount box at the checkout stage of the web shop.

I have just received the 3 completed ponies for the Numidian cavalry set and have been told the 3 riders plus all the arm, head, weapon options will be ready by the end of the month.

Numidian ponies did not have saddles or any tack other than a rope around the neck the rider would pull to apply pressure to the windpipe.

The model is done at medium pony size and is made a bit stockier than the actual Numidian ponies which were smaller and more wirey. The reason for this is for tooling and manufacturing purposes. We want to avoid thin legs that would be liable to snapping.

The connections to the bases are just rudimentary joins at present. The final joins will be done by the layup guys who understand how thick to make them for plastic flow. They will also split the models in half and core them out.

Des news ! C'est les généraux carthaginois et romains qui vont être ravis, des renforts arrivent !

The first set will be the armoured Spanish comprising 40 figures with a mix of spears, 2 types of sword (the falcata and gladius hispaniensis) and 2 types of shield (scutarii and caetra). The mix of weapons and shields will allow customers a very flexible approach to building their Ancient Spanish units with a nice balance between heavy and light troops.

Steve at LittleBigMenStudios w...ill be producing a range of Spanish shield transfers to compliment the range.

Following on from the armoured troops we will then release 12 man set of Balearic slingers, essential for softening up the Roman units opposing your Spanish/Carthaginian armies. This set will only be available direct from Victrix.

The final release will be unarmoured Ancient Spanish infantry before we move on to the Samnites.

Well there is going to be quite a lot of news and product releases going on over the next couple of weeks.

The first Ancient Spanish set, probably unarmoured warriors, is likely to go on pre order next week. I have attached to this post packaging artwork to get you all in the right frame of mind to build an Ancient Iberian force, one of Republican Romes fiercest enemies.

I will also be showing images of the first batch of Ancient Spanish shield transfers.

However, the latest news is that 2 new sets of plastic round bases are now on sale. These are high quality bases with textured upper surfaces and a neatly chamfered edge. There are 2 sets available, 20mm round bases (120 bases per set) and 25mm round bases (96 bases per set).

Also now on sale is VX0019 French Napoleonic Artillery 1804-1812 XI system with 6pdr guns and howitzers. this will allow customers to field the later XI system with crew in pre Bardin uniforms.

Rien que pour vos yeux ! Du FB :

I am pleased to announce that today we have released our set of Ancient Iberian Unarmoured Warriors. In addition we have also released the Balearic slingers.

To go with the unarmoured warriors we also have 4 sets of shield transfers.

The Armoured Iberian Warriors will probably be released in 3-4 weeks as we make a few enhancements to the tool.

Ah oui ... La c'est beau ! une date de sortie prévu ?

Les modèles de bouclier sont terrible aussi !

[Durgrim l'Ancien]

Les ibères sans armure et les frondeurs sont déjà dispo, les ibères armurés seront dispo dans 3 à 4 semaines.

Et on rajoute une feuille de transfert supplémentaire :

Juste une petite question en passant.

 

Je commanderai bien les hoplites athéniens de chez Victrix. Y a un site en particulier où on peut les trouver? (autre que le leur bien sûr.... genre un site français.... un truc pratique quoi, genre où y a pas besoin de passer par paypal ou autre....)

Pour ça, je te conseil l'atelier ludique. C'est un peu plus cher mais c'est français.

 

Sinon, tu peux acheter sur le site Warlord games.

Merci pour l'info, il a l'air pas mal ce site.

PAr contre, je savais pas qu'ils faisaient des grecs eux! Ils ont l'air pas mal aussi. Tu connais les deux? Tu saurais pas lequel vaut le plus le coup? (en même temps, j'hésite à prendre les deux histoire de combiner les deux kit, en croisant les doigts pour qu'il y ait pas de problèmes d'échelle).

[Durgrim l'Ancien]

je savais pas qu'ils faisaient des grecs eux!

Ils font leur propre grec et vendent ceux de Victrix.

 

Tu saurais pas lequel vaut le plus le coup?

Je te dirais de prendre les deux si tu peux. Après, je ne sais pas si les deux kits peuvent se combiner.

[Durgrim l'Ancien]

Préparez votre porte feuille car ça va tomber !

This is a quick post having just arrived hot foot from London where I had a very positive meeting with the tooling company. The future is looking very up beat with lots of new products planned.

Immediate news is that the unarmoured and armoured Samnites will be released in about 3 weeks. I am also confident that at least 1, possibly 2 of the 3 Macedonian sets will be ready for Salute.

The Armoured Iberians should be released sometime in the next 5-10 days.

After that will be the 3rd Macedonian set (Hypaspists) with the Numidian cavalry following in quick succession.

Then will come the Ancient Spanish cavalry and these can be seen in the attached images.

We will shortly commence work on 2 more ancient mounted sets and a major series of sets that cover one of the most powerful armies from the ancient world. More news to follow.

Grosso merdo dans les prochaines semaines (mois) par ordre d'arrivée :,
- samnites (avec et sans armure),
- ibériens (avec armure), pour le salute,
- 3 sets de macédoniens (prévu pour le salute)
- les hypaspists et la cavalerie numide
- Cavalerie ibère
- 2 sets de cavalerie (romaine ?, grecs/macédoniennes ?, carthaginoise ?)

Pour égayer tout ça, une petite photo :

There will be quite a bit of news over the next 24 - 48 hours. First of all the Samnite artwork arrived to day do we will now sort out the packaging. For all those painters and gamers who like bright vibrant armies the Samnites will appeal. There will be 2 sets, armoured and unarmoured with 4 figures per sprue and 6 sprues in the set. All the parts for command figures are included in the frame. A total of 24 figures per set.

At some stage over the weekend I will be showing the completed digital models of the Iberian cavalry. In keeping with the Iberian theme I have also posted a few photograhs of the Armoured Iberian warriors.

These fought for years against the Republican Romans and also fought as mercenaries for the Carthaginians so all in all very useful troops.

Du FB :

Responses to the last post raised a few questions about various subjects and I will try and deal with these in this thread

But before I do this I want to share with everyone images of the finished Ancient Iberian Cavalry. The release date is uncertain at present but I would expect sometime over the summer. The set will be made up of 3 horses and 3 riders but with lots of head, crest, and arm options so there will be plenty of scope for ensuring every figure and horse looks unique. We will probably sell it in sets of 12 figures.

There are many posts about what people would like us to produce and in an ideal world we would produce everything requested and give the sets away free of charge. However, we live in the real world and therefore time and commercial reality will dictate what we produce and how quickly it can be done. Nevertheless, I will confirm the following:

1. We have not abandoned Napoleonics and I have already discussed with the Head of Design both mounted and foot sets to be worked on in the autumn. More news later.

2. I am hoping to announce a new range of Ancients sometime in the next 2-3 weeks. This new series of sets are already being worked on but I want to wait for an image of the first render before making an announcement. I noted that there has been much speculation on TMP with some potential good ideas and some not so good.

3. WWI will remain on hold for the foreseable future due to technical reasons.

4. Reworking our non digital sets is possible but not commercially sensible so I am afraid Napoleonic Dutch Sappers will not happen.

5. Taking a digital model and turning it into something that can be moulded in metal is not practical so I am afraid Campanian cavalry is also a non starter.

6. Someone asked why I had not shown the illustration of the Iberian Cavalry artwork. We have only just finished the digital sculpting and these "renders" will be used as the basis for the artwork. Be patient and all in good time.

Et toujours pas de Celtes... 

 

 

Quand je vois ce qu'ils ont fait avec cette cavalerie ibère, je salive en pensant à ce qu'ils pourraient nous sortir pour eux!

 

Si ils évitent le cliché du type à poil et à grosse moustache je vais me jeter dessus!

 

Ils commencent à avoir une gamme variée! Ca donne envie de se monter une armée de carthaginois avec toutes ces variantes. Comme je le disais, cette cavalerie déchire! C'est dynamique, détaillé et historique! Leur plus beau kit jusqu'à maintenant.
