Are there any shots of the sprues lurking around. I had a look at the WF fora (in the limited time I have available this w/e) and couldn't find any. I see they are due late this month – when are the pre-orders being taken? I will readily commit if I like what is being offered! |

I've seen the sprues and they are very nice and very well designed. The number of heads in various gear on the sprues is impressive and it may be the best designed sprue yet in plastics as far as covering your bases goes. The sculpting is very good on it and you can do pretty much anything you want within the period. For people who like a variety of poses there isn't a ton of options for that, the legs are just the basic three, but they do match up pretty well with other manufacturers so if you mix some metals in you will be in good shape. They do really look great. I had high hopes for this range and I'm not at all disappointed. I don't think you will be either. |

Those look great – thanks for the link! Only quibble I would have is the single "furry" Grenadier hat for those of us wanting more "Catholic" options :-) – but then you can't have everything! Is there a firm release date and/or pre order programme? BTW has that Grenadier got spectacles on? |

I didn't see any spectacles on any of the heads I saw on the actual sprue. |
