Good looking 10's. Does anyone know how compatible they are with other manufacturers? |

Those are great looking minis. I especially like how well proportioned they are. |

Wow, those are gorgeous, every bit as good as the GHQ models, arguably better. I love this description on the website: The range encompasses the Napoleonic wars from the Peninsular right through to Waterloo, Ah, the British!  |

Ooh – that needs updating with the arrival of the Austrians!
Russians don't fit in that description either…

Very nice indeed – the comparison to GHQ is merited, and these are in the better march attack pose (all GHQ are advancing) and much less expensive. I'd agree that they are an improvement over the earlier offerings, which are good but sometimes top heavy – different sculptor? Cheers, Christopher |

Website updated with new text now. The current Redline range has work from three different sculptors. The original British, Brunswick and French range was made by one, the Prussians by another and the new Austrians and Russians by my latest recruit.
I also do conversion work, but I'd hardly call it sculpting. Si |

Excellent suggestion Chris!
So we may get an update on your site this year?

Are there any plans for American troops for the War of 1812? |

"Prussians by another and the new Austrians and Russians by my latest recruit." Looks like you have Recruited a good one at that.
Speaking of your Prussians. Is the original sculptor going to complete the range? Or, are you planning on your new talent completing them? Rog |

10mmworld.com Ouch! ;) But yes, I think so. Career has made the past two years (especially the last year) very thin on the gaming front, but I'm hoping to get back in gear. I have a huge pile of GHQ ACW on my desk, I'm thinking that my Zulu Wars collection needs to be reinforced with some of the new Steve Barber range, and Redline is resurrecting my original interest in 10mm Napoleonics (especially if they continue to mesh with GHQ). Cheers, Christopher |

That is something I am thinking long and hard about. The Prussians are quite a difficult fit in the current range. They are essential for 1815, but do I continue or start again?
I'm going to get the Austrians and Russians I have had made out first and consider my options. Waffley way to say I'm avoiding the question for now…. Many thanks for all the kind comments.
I'd be extremely glad to see 10mm world up and running again , it's a great resource! Si |

For what it's worth, my vote would be to go with your new sculptor even if if it means a change in style from the older sculpts. I think his work looks amazing. The casualty marker is a work of art: picture I'll definitely be buying some as soon as you release them. And I don't even use casualty markers. |

Nice minis! If I hadn't gone down the 15mm route withy Nspoleonics then I would be looking for minis like these! Oh well, maybe in about twenty or so years (that'll be about the time the 15's are all painted) I'll finally get some 10's… |

Very nice looking figures. Does anyone know if belts, cuffs, etc are exaggerated for easy painting? |
| bendsinister | 10 Feb 2010 3:58 a.m. PST |

They are to a cetrtain extent. I was a little worried about painting the new figures, but they do paint up very easily. YOu can see the first picture is basically a light wash of GW Ogryn flesh over white. I've gone back and added pure white over cross belts. In essence, yes, they are designed to make painting easier at this small size. Si |

Si,
Sure would love to see the pic of the reworked WSS fig. Any hints as to the mods? I purchased a bunch of these when they came out sight unseen and would love to see bigger cuffs and longer coats! Thanks,

I'm still not 100% convinced on this range. If you are interested in more packs then mail me and I'll sort out a deal on the stock I have. I expect this will go in the shop at 50% very soon. I am not happy with the quality of the masters or the castings… Si |

I've posted a review of the Austrians here:
