Greetings! Hope you may help by providing Your point of view on the further development of these Zouaves, Please. And offer some opinion on the current development. There are already finished several charging variants with separate heads provided: There are already finished several charging variants with separate heads provided:
Available in a head pack too separate from the unit:
A officer leading the men has also been added recently:
A trumpeteer is on its way too:
What do you think of the unit/range so far? Which poses would you like to see? Standing/kneeling firing? Casualties? Or does it feel sufficient as it is? All inputs would be much appreciated.
Thank You. |

I'm not your target market, but standing and firing and casualties, definitely. I like to have prone figures that can substitute for standing when appropriate (replacing exact matching figures during play). |

I think the sculpts look nice and a large number of head variants is always great for variety. I also agree with emckinney, skirmish games are really popular so firing line and skirmishing miniatures probably equally so. |

I have just started to collect 1914 French so these are of interest to me. Standing and kneeling firing would be a good addition. |

Thanks for the feedback guys. Forgot to add the picture of this Zouave lying prone firing that is also on its way to being released.
Standing and kneeling figures seem like a good next step to make a more complete skirmishing pack. Casualties is noted as a good addition. The sculpting is done by Steve Barber running Steve Barber Models. More 1914 French figures available on his site.

A machine gun and crew perhaps?
I would love to see a variety of *fusiliers marins* skirmishing plus machine gun and crew, petty officers and an officer (Ro'narch's brigade). |

A machine gun crew is a good suggestion that has been considered. But it would be a large investment to commission so it would likely be added after a few more skirmishing poses. Agreed about the Fusilier Marins. Wreaking havoc as at Dixmude. Besides headgear the equipment doesn't appear to differ from the regular infantry besides color of trousers. A headpack could be useful for conversions. The current head packs are compatible with the GWM French too.
