There is going to be about a six-week delay to the release of the first Victrix British Napoleonic sets, Waterloo Centre Companies and Peninsular Centre Companies. Frustrating, but nothing drastic.

Good news is that the French master sculpts are well under way, and we will be showing more of these over the next few weeks. These are in the long-tailed coat for 1805-1812. We will also be making some extra head packs in bicornes, which can be purchased separately for the French once they are released.

We are also pleased to show you some of the lovely specialty figures the very talented Paul Hicks has sculpted for us.

At present, Picton, Hill and Wellington, and four mounted colonels. These will be part of the special-offer box deals we will be putting on the website in the near future.

Pre-orders will be going up in the next couple of weeks, once a definite date has been established with the tool makers.
We have also had a fantastic pioneer figure made by Paul as a pre-order giveaway. This has two head options, for Peninsular and Waterloo, and will be shown next week.
