While we intend to announce formally on TMP with pictures etc in the next couple of days I thought posters in this discussion area might want to see our new ranges first as our business went live this week. Seven packs of Austro Hungarian officers and stormtroopers are available now and to follow after the second release of Austro Hungarians, Italians. All 28mm. Some preview pics of the Italians are in the "in the works" section of the web site and we have more to upload at the weekend Then we release Mountain troops, Germans, British and French along with a few Americans (only one regiment was in Italy, along with a famous author).
Once all this is underway, we also plan some Russians, again, one of those is "in the works" section. scarabminiatures.com Note we have a fixed upper shipping limit which might be of interst to folk outside the UK Thanks for reading and visiting |

Indeed, very nice. Best of luck with the range and well done for covering a theatre that had plenty going on, but doesn't receive as much wargaming coverage as the Western Front or Dardanelles. |

Thank you. We certainly hope that with the arrival of a new range people will re read their history books, and realise the wargaming potential. A certain Erwin Rommel did very well up in the mountains! We will also be adding articles and scenarios once I have written them (unless someone else does first!) |

Yikes! One of my absolute favorite periods (ever since I read John Schindler's book Isonzo – a great book, not just because he was a professor when I was at the Naval War College). I will just have to buy. If only I didn't have to go to work. Sigh. |

There are a few other good books on the subject as well, I am compiling a list for the web site and some articles. Isonzo is a good book but not alone any more |

Just received my first 3 packs of stormtroopers, these are really good figures, i will be making a few minor adjustments and painting them up as German Stormtroopers. Also on the may is a HMG team carrying the MG and a flamethrower team, which is about time, i've been after a moving MG team for ages! They will also be covering late war French!! |

The pictures seem to be great! I'm waiting for the Italians to buy them both!
P.S.: Austrian troops helmet was light brown (I've got one at home and I've seen many in the local flea markets) |

Littorio Many thanks, if you ever see a spare helmet from the Great War and want to send it across to England, please do! With reference to helmet colour, there seems to be quite a few colour variants, my next set of units will all have the brown colour though. The first packs of Italians should be on sale around Christmas. I will collect the masters later this week Coldm, thank you. I just have to send the HMG off for a production mould so should be about two to three weeks. kind regards

Hi If you check our in the works section of the site you can see a picture of the next 6 Italian infantry. Not really newsworthy but I thought some people here would be interested.
Proper pictures in a few weeks once the paint brush has been to work on the metal.
I will be uploading more austrian pictures later in the week kind regards
