Gentlemen, I would like to show you the first images of our upcoming WWI ranges. (by vandyckmodelsandfigurines) All figures are 12mm of actual height giving them and all vehicles an exact scale of 1/144. The release will be later this year and a basic 1914 Belgian and German army will be made available. All infantry packs will contain 30 soldiers in 8 different poses. Officers, buglers, etc. will be sold in separate command packs containing 10 figures in various poses. We have tried to provide these figures with as much detail as possible. This should also help with painting them later. If you apply a wash after a thin layer of basic colours you can let the detail do the work for you. The figures shown here have had a blackwash to reveal all details. More images here. Have fun!

This scale would fit well with the Kallistra range, which also features 12mm figures. The examples above look very good. Best wishes for sales. Robert

I'm looking at the rows of buttons… Incredible. The Belgian uniform is a very handsome one.

Those are spectacular!
Cerdic	19 May 2014 6:54 a.m. PST
Wow! What lovely figures.
Buckeye AKA Darryl	19 May 2014 7:24 a.m. PST
Really nice work…and those are 12mm? Wow! I know you said the release is later this year, but who wants to wait that long? ;) Looking forward to seeing these being produced. What are your plans for expansion after these have been released?
Vimy Ridge	19 May 2014 7:33 a.m. PST
Very nice work! Very good selection on the Belgians for sure!

Beautiful pieces and details.

Looking forward to them!

Very attractive but sadly not my scale/size.
Zargon	19 May 2014 12:50 p.m. PST
Wow, beautifully done

Great looking figures , better sculpted that a few 15mm ones I could mention
jgawne	19 May 2014 5:08 p.m. PST
I have to say the sculpting and castings are darn nice!

Wow! Those are GREAT looking minis!!!! (Where's that "jaw-dropping" smilie?!?" I would have said that those were 15/18mm, not 12mm! Shame that I game in 15mm for the vast majority of things, and I don't want to start 12mm. But dang, those look good!!!

I'm looking at the rows of buttons… Incredible. The Belgian uniform is a very handsome one. I agree, handsome with lots of flavour from a past era. Totally inadequate for the kind of war that was coming in 1914, but they will definitely look great on a wargame table! Really nice work…and those are 12mm? Wow! I know you said the release is later this year, but who wants to wait that long? ;) Looking forward to seeing these being produced. What are your plans for expansion after these have been released? No exact date yet, sorry! The first release will cover the infantry, after that it's the cavalry, both mounted and dismounted, German and Belgian. We hope to gradually cover more nations both large and small. We will also do some ranges from the Great War in East Africa, starting with Belgian "Force Public" figures and their German counterparts. Thank you all for the encouraging comments!!! Kris

Oh for Gods sake -I thought I had this whole WW1 thing sorted out with the scale I was going to do and which ranges and now this lot show up -are we never to be set free… 12mm -yeah right -clearly 28mm -you don't fool me :)
Kris Van Dyck	04 Jun 2014 12:49 p.m. PST
Sorry, no tricks here, perhaps this image gives a better view!
Buckeye AKA Darryl	15 Jun 2014 5:32 p.m. PST
Wait…12mm?!?!?!?!? WOW!!!
Henry Martini	15 Jun 2014 8:17 p.m. PST
Beautifully sculpted; just a pity the poses aren't more active.
Buckeye AKA Darryl	01 Nov 2014 4:03 p.m. PST
How soon until these are released? Just looking for an update. Thanks!

Looks like two Belgian packs and one German pack already up on their website. See original post.
Kris Van Dyck	02 Nov 2014 5:48 p.m. PST
Yes Darryl, basic Belgian and German infantry is available now. I also got the Minerva armoured car ready. link I just need to take a few new images to show the final results.
