I don't know if anyone else has been looking forward to Forgotten & Glorious's French sepoys but I heard recently that they will no longer be releasing these figures. From what I can make out the figures were a private commission and F&G didn't actually own them. Apparently the owner is planning to sell the greens and the figures may never be commercially available. This news was a big disappointment to me. I know that Indus do some very nice sepoys for the period but I saw the F&G ones in Paris last year: not only were the figures outstanding but they included the Nellore sepoys and Bussy's infantry; their range really could have been the last word on the French in India. |

Yes, they show them at the top of their web page and I was looking forward to buying some of the figures. |

I'd be interested in seeing them. Is there a pic? Thanks Ashok

I think even the picture, which DAF mentioned, may now have been removed from their web site. If I recall correctly, they had an advert in Wargames Illustrated towards the end of last year, which showed some of the greens. But the range that was on display in Paris (they had a unit in the Village Suisse) was much more extensive: two different marching types + European officers for the Nellore sepoys and a number of figures representing Bussy's European infantry as well. |
