Hi Everyone - since this is a bit out of the ordinary, posting this here. History Works has released a new range of pre-painted 28mm American Civil War METAL wargame figures that are licensed from the renowned Perry Twins.
Each set of figures is painted to an elite wargame standard and comes ready to base. The command sets even have a sheet of flags to choose from so you can make almost any Confederate State Regiment and many Union State and Regular Regiments. Each foot figure costs only about $6.50/£6.00 and will be available in regular bi-monthly releases with the first group focusing on marching infantry and command sets as well as artillery sets firing. Follow on releases will feature firing line sets, artillery moving up, specialty infantry and mounted leaders.
This new venture is the result of a licensing partnership between Perry Miniatures and History Works. History Works has the worldwide licensing rights to offer Perry Miniatures pre-painted. In North America figures will be available from History Works and its partner retailers and in the UK and Continental Europe they will be available from Perry Miniatures and their retail partners.
It has been a natural collaboration with two similar backgrounds and philosophies. Alan and Michael Perry have been sculpting figures since the late 1970’s and have a well-earned reputation as some of the most prolific and historically accurate sculptors in gaming. At the same time across the pond Richard Walker was launching the first of many miniature ventures with Prescott’s Military Miniatures, a figure casting and painting service, that forty years later has morphed into History Works. “As a historical gamer all my life and someone who has also worked on the business side of this hobby I have greatly admired the Perry’s from afar, as I have worked with them on this venture my respect for them and excitement to do this has only increased!” – commented Walker.
The new History Works –Gaming range will also include a series of pre-painted, pre-assembled scale resin buildings. The first release includes iconic structures from the Battle of Gettysburg – The Evergreen Cemetery Gate, the Bryan House and Barn as well as turnpike fences. Future releases will include stock outbuildings, the Trostle Farm, and other buildings from key American Civil war battles. Prices vary from $10/£10 to $60/£60. “We can’t think of a better complement to our figures than this new series of buildings. Michael and I are eagerly awaiting their release to add them to our upcoming American Civil War games.” – Alan Perry
