Spotted on Alex's (Storm of Steel) posts? I saw those as well, and have been tempted.

Yup

The new mosque and compound arrived today. I'm going to need more glue.

I signed up yesterday for the Footsore kickstarter and then thought I need some of those Baron's War figures and bought a pile of them having so regretted not being in on the original KS
I also bought the Bloody Miniatures deal and 3 books from Helion so I'm a bit broke

Still I did show some restrained - that was the 4th time this past 2 weeks that I ordered some Footsore figures but on each of the 3 previous occasions was overcome by guilt and emptied my shopping cart

Ooo! Ooo! Ooo! The new AB cavalry have appeared on the Eureka UK website!

Young Guard Chasseurs a Cheval, Saxon Hussars and Westphalian Cuirassiers up thus far. The irregular Spanish lancers and Brunswick Uhlans haven't appeared yet, but they can't be far away.

And arrived today Very nice in the flesh:

Those look rather good...

Looking at the early releases (and LT seems to have the full range - so far) they look like they are designed more for skirmish gaming, such as Pikeman's Lament, rather than "big battles". Although there's no reason you can't use them for the latter, what they represent are low level, specialist units - forlorn hope, halberdiers, dismounted cavalry - which are only really suitable for vignettes or command figures when refighting Marston Moor or Naseby. I suspect that round two of releases will tell us more. They are gorgeous figures though.

Captain Blood explicitly said on LAF that the Bicorne/Renegade etc ranges provided plenty of good rank and file figures, so he was looking at a more niche type range.

I'm not buying any, but FYI, the Hinchliffe Range has been sold on by Hinds Figures, the pre 1700 range to Lancashire Games & the post 1700 range to S&A Scenics. (I think it's that way round).
