I'd never seen these before until today. The pictures of the figures look pretty good, but can anyone give me a good review of the figures. I see that they look compatible with Perry and Foundry. Do the Union and Confederate both wear sack coats? And what kind of variety is there in their faces? Any other pertinent information is appreciated!

Pretty much all the rank and file have pics on the website.

Yes they all wear the short Shell Jacket (except Officers and Zouves).

Facially there is variation between figures, but no more than that.

The figures themselves are fairly plain, but they paint up nicely and work well in Units, as well as being available in Unit packs if you scroll to the bottom of the page.

We are intending to expand the range further, but at the moment we have been filling in odd holes and ommissions in the existing figure range, before moving onto greater variation.

The range was originally sculpted by Sean for NewLine, but we have taken them over, although he will be doing the further sculpting etc for the range.

Anything else you need to know just ask me, as I do the Rapier queries here on TMP.

I like the fact that they are all wearing shell jackets and don't have knapsacks or blanket rolls on them. This actually fills a much needed gap in ACW miniatures. Just some additional head variants could make a lot more variety for them. Are you, by chance, going to be at "Cold Wars"?
