Really like these figures!

Outstanding!!!!

Lovely figures but I'm not prepared to go to almost 2 pounds per figure (regular price.)

Very nice!

Looking at these miniatures makes me feel cold!

They look good, however it seems an odd marketing tactic to show a photo of part painted miniatures. Either show them painted or unpainted not sure that part painted really works.

You don't appear to use primer either.

it looks more probable that the colouring is from the sculptors chosen modelling putty.

Troop of Shewe is right, those are greens. The colouring is the putty.

These are nice, but they are expensive, the guy who A. Make them in plastic (those poses are wonderful) B. Do alternative head swaps for the same (think for instance 1806 Jena-Auerstädt battles- French in bicorns) would be on to something great. I also like the idea of just the basic body without arms or head in plastic and heads packed with the alternative heads and arms/weapons done in metal,this would give the best of both worlds cheaper and more durable than plastics(those muskets are just waiting for sausage fingered gamers to break them-mine includes :) plus a high level of multiples poses for all types of troops similar to Vitrex but without the fragile parts.
Here's hoping cheers and besides my gripes these are really beautiful. (nice to do in SDS rules so worth the £s in that respect but not to field an army.

Excellent!

order sent!

These are really beautiful sculpts!!!

How do they compare to the Perry's 'Retreat' stuff?

Atheling, they are quite compatible to the Perry stuff.

You can see a size comparison in this TMP thread :

Zargon, I think the plastics suggestion is a bit strange. I know there are more and more plastic minis on the market these days, but it costs roughly 10K quid to get a single sprue into production and I think this is way beyond the scope of most small businesses. Especially for something as specific as the retreat from Moscow. Even the Perry twins who are doing a lot of plastic sets these days rather chose to do their in pewter… I guess there was reason for that!

Beautiful sculpts. I really like the ragged and winter gear clothing. Makes a great change from pristine parade uniforms.

Hi Brooklyn, maybe I'm telling the message wrong. What I'm saying with just a body in plastic (a spruce with just the legs and torso in these lovely overcoat poses we could get sooo many nations out of them) I'm thinking that if you had a box with 30 odd in a box (5 torsos to a spruces) with metal bits to add (my idea is that the cross belts end with nothing and the metal bits have 'pins' attached and when you want to fit something to the cross belt just drill into the plastic at the end of the cross belt (can have a small indent to show where to make th hole- easy in plastic) with this we could portray French, Austrians, Brits you name it. The metal parts consist of head, cartridge box, bayonet/hanger backpack (if needed) and weapons in hand, various poses, at charge, firing etc. Being metal (pewter) the would have just enough give to line up withe the arm sockets before super gluing. I. Think you could get other torso types as well, perhaps stripped down in spatterdashs for the Brits or other nations its a basic torso x 5 poses (all in advance perhaps) or in charging poses. I know quite a few guys would not enjoy 'fiddly' builds (see Vitrex) but a lot of us do and if the fiddly bits are in metal they are far more robust and I'm sure it would work. I already do this with other kits where I change out the plastic weapon for a metal and put alternative heads on the basic plastic, it works very well.
Cheers and hope you find this idea intriguing (and perhaps someone in the industry will turn it into reality :)

Are there pics of the March-Attack sculpts? I'd like to see those please.

I got my "Retreat" and "March-Attack" figs last week. They're amazing sculpts. Unfortunately, there was a miscast bayonet and broken rifle – I wrote to Roger who 1) Responded the next day 2) Replaced them promptly and without a hassle. Amazing customer service!

I won't retell the entire story about how I placed them on the dining room table only to find my wife had tossed them into the trash… (fortunately, safely recovered!)
