I've been told that Rapier has the ex-Newline 28mm Napoleonic range. I was looking to get a few gap fillers and sent them messages from different email addresses but still no response.
Are they still in business?

Most definetely:

rapierminiatures.co.uk

Don't see those Napoleonics on their site, though…

Thanks Norman.

Yeah, I've checked out their site to contact them in the first place. Newline advised me that they sold the line to Rapier a while ago but nothing appears on the site. As its been 3 weeks since I sent the emails I was hoping to find a way to get a response.

Sorry Bandolier, been moving house and things, meant to get back to you.

Yes Rapier have the ex Newline 28mm Napoleonics. However what we actually have at the moment is huge stacks of moulds to be sorted etc.

We 'hope' to have the Prussians for sale from Triples onwards but I shall give my partner (caster and mould sorter) a prod to see if he can find the Bavarians etc you are after.

Apologies for the delays, real life seems to have got in the way just of late.

No worries. Happy that you are still up and running.

I have been trying to get onto their website and keep getting blocked by Bitdefender.
Anyone got a telephone number for them please?
Thanks

Interesting range – how do these compare with Perry's, Warlord et al?

I could do with some Nassau for my Waterloo project

Best way, I have found, to find out about a range new to you is a limited order of figures that can "stand alone" and will not be wasted, if incompatible once directly next to your existing range.

Best example is an artillery crew or a few skirmishers. Even then, the most established and prestigious manufacturers can show scale creep over time. Does show you whether you are talking about 25mm, 28mm or 30mm and whether emaciated or Hobbits!
