Nationalist Infantry concept drawings

No time for relaxing here. After having released both Republican Infantry and Republican Command & Weapons sets, we're now going for a similar couple sets of their opponents. So that we've already started discussing and defining our 20mm metal figures SCW range next step --Nationalist Infantry, quite logically. As some of you perhaps already know, our hired sculptor for this range is Juan G. Bautista (whose own figures brand is Xan Miniatures, BTW). Here below you can see the basic concept drawings we've finally agreed:
20GEF006
Just as its Republican counterpart, this new Nationalist Infantry set will comprise a total of 15 figures, representing 13 soldiers and 2 NCOs, all them showing different poses. We judge this number enough for representing a whole Section/Platoon, or at least a balanced part of it depending on the ruleset used; so that users can build an average company by just putting together a few such sets, besides of the related Command & Weapons set to come later.

As you can realize, concept art for the new set reflect a high aggressivity, as expectable in a winner army. All-regulation uniform will also be dominant, although some variations have been forecast (Those small green stars at some figures footing are there precisely meaning such further variation to be introduced)

It's good to know they are in the pipe line, looking forward to seeing them progress.

Likely to have them released by late March, or early April :)

Yessss! These are very promising, and I hope they turn out as well as your Republicans did!

Not sure about pose no. 10, though. What is he supposed to be doing?

Any hints for the "further variation to be introduced" regard uniforms?

Regards, Pat

Pat,

No. 10 is kneeling on a rock not shown in the sketch ;)

The alluded further variations regard to changing some helmets for "isabelino" caps, or introducing gaiters, or even to add a blanket roll. With some caution, so as to keep a regulation-uniform look to the whole.

Glad you like them :)

Not 28mm? :(

No, in the short term at least :(

Lluis,

re: pose no. 10, I'd rather leave the rock off, it is not a comfortable or even natural pose to retain.

I am all for blanket rolls and different headgear. I'd gladly buy sets of heads only!

Regards, Pat
