A few months ago I shared with you our first steps on a projected new 20mm figure set for Spanish Civil War - the Spanish Foreign Legion, a first batch of which was already shown in this installment. Their sculpting is complete now with a second batch making up for a full 15-figure set in total. Here you have a preview on these new greens:
While the first batch consisted entirely of fusiliers and a couple of NCOs, this second batch comprises two MG-13 Dreyse LMGs along with their crews and a few fusiliers else, a couple of which are prone.
Worth to be pointed out that, after some thought, in the end we decided to spare the tripod mounted MMG and gunner for a later set; thus replacing these with another kneeling figure firing a bipod mounted LMG instead - as you can see below.
This new 15-figure set is scheduled for release at some point between mid April and early May. However, I'm pondering whether to put them on sale before, in a pre-order regime with a bonus discount reward for early supporters - so helping me finance skyrocketing production costs. If so, would you support such pre-sale?
I know that I would support it!
ReplyDeleteI heard about these fellows over at the SCW Facebook page, but had missed this blog. I'll cross post this, but you may want to visit over there and other Fb pages devoted to the period.
Keep up the good work!

Also, thrilled to have some prone figures. I prefer them to kneeling LMG figs, as cumbersome weapons like that would rarely be fired "Rambo-style" from the waist.
ReplyDeleteSo, I'm also totally fine with tripod MMG being in a different pack.
