Just waiting for test frames at the moment. We had hoped to have those frames this week but the tool only got to the factory yesterday so I imagine we will get test frames early next week. Once those have been signed off and nothing needs to be sorted in the tool they should be on release in about 2 weeks. Steve. |

That's great news!!
Thanks Steve, they gonna be my Summer project this year 8-)
Will there be two boxes for each? Cheers SP |
| STEVE LBMS | 25 May 2016 12:04 p.m. PST |
Hi SP, There will be 3 sets. 1 Macedonian phalangites (There are head options for line and also Guard Heads with side crests)
2 Successor phalangites (with option to make them eastern Phalangites)
3 Macedonian Hypaspists (As heavy infantry with Long Thrusting spear and Large Hoplite shield. They also have head options for Greek Corinthian Helmets so you can use them as Hoplites as well) Steve. |

Guess it's going to be four boxes after all for me..doh!
This sounds about perfect for my plans tho. Can't wait to get my hands on them now. I can also smell some interesting conversion possibilities..
The only concern is how to get them all painted before the Imperial Romans arrive ;-) Cheers SP |

That is certainly an impressive release plan.
The first cavalry release(s) will probably determine what army I contemplate building. |

Plastic Companion cavalry would be a dream come true 8-) Cheers SP |

Just had test frames of the command frame and Hypaspists arrive. The detail is looking great and Julian will be putting up some images on Facebook later. There are a couple of pin holes in some bodies which will be sorted but other than that they are looking superb. We should be getting the Pike frames on Tuesday to check over. Julian reckons they will be on sale end of next week. I need to start the transfers which wont take too long. Steve. |

"I need to start the transfers which wont take too long."
How can one do that with transfers which are pieces of art and not an easy thing to produce in my (humble) opinion.
Amazing. |
| Suetonius Paullinus | 28 May 2016 3:47 a.m. PST |
Great news! I'm looking forward to seeing some pictures then soon.
Will all three sets being released at the same time? Cheers SP |

Steve, thanks for the sprue shots and information about set content. The Hypaspsists will make excellent hoplites – sculpts do look 'better' than your earlier hoplite releases. Maybe just my imagination? Garry |

The Corinthian helmets are just spectacular! I certainly will rekindle my Peleponnesian War project.. After I've conquered India with my Macs, of course.
Golden days for the Ancients Wargamer and plastic affectionado! Cheers SP |
