"Perry Confederates" Topic

The new box of advancing/charging confederates is complete, & looking at the enlarged pictures on their w/site looking as good as their zouaves they are based on. 5 troops make up charging/advancing + command figures. They feature a variety of head gear & I hope more than 1 Officer.
Its been a year since the last Salute when they were announced, & funny enough I have a few regiments bought from e-bay….will buy, plastic figures are so easy to convert.
THERE HAS BEEN NO DATE OF RELEASE YET

The Perrys are not interested in what you or I want. They are very much into what they want and what they like. If they like a period enough it gets pushed into the front of the line. It's that simple.

Which is why their lines of figures are so gorgeous and interesting and have lots of neat rear echelon stuff. They're making what THEY want and then selling it, not prioritizing by customer demand.

The zouaves are frikkin fantastic models- if these are anywhere near as good we're in for a treat.

What ever they are doing they should keep doing it, seems to be working. Shame they can't do everything for everybody a once.

I don't care what motivates the Perrys to do what and when. I am just happy they stay motivated. They are more prolific than companies many times larger than they are and I love their figures.

True, true

After all, who would have thought that anyone would make a complete line of Carlist war minis?

ww2 middle east troops didn`t see those coming, did hear about awi some time ago. Yes, they do make what they want, loads of boxes of Naps in recent months.
At least they make boxes of troops I want to buy, plus their metal range. Busy firm Great figures.

They will take suggestion if you e-mail them.

I know I know they will never do them veit nam Or modern armed forces

@HammerHead – unless they suddenly get an interest in the period

They do what they do fantastically well, and we all are privileged that they sell the things that they could have made just for themselves, I just hope there is a metal conversion kit that will fit there forthcoming Confederates and the plastic zouaves of arms for standard marching pose (not shoulder shift), then they can retire the original plastic ACW box, as there plastic kits have come a long way since that was released.

"arms for standard marching pose (not shoulder shift)"

Just so you know, Shoulder Arms was VERY normal and either was normal marching poses in addition to Support Arms as well. They would shift back and forth when their arms were about to get pulled out of their shoulder sockets. The one difference would be that when they were marching at the Double they would always go to Right Shoulder Shift. The bottom line is any of the 3 positions would be very typical and common. You might prefer to see one or another but all were 'normal'.

Thanks for the info, im quite new to historical wargaming and very new to acw, i'm not yet well up on Drill for many periods (so much to learn)

The figures have been on the workbench for a LONG time. Anybody know when they will be available?

had an e-mail from Perrys as part of their news update. After the Austrians it said. So they should be next.

Newsletter just in.

Now available to order.

Do these figures come with separate headgear (like the original set) or with separate heads and hats combined (like their Zouaves? Asking as I really don't like the separate hats in the original box.
thanks.

I have just seen a photo of the sprues they are separate hats
& they are advaliable from to-day Hooray!!!
