I have no way of transferring the picture but maybe Mark the Viking from TM could upload it as it's there Ad or Peter Reuss or another dealer /forum member. The Jacobite standard is in the hand of the falling Scot seen as a grey master sculpt at the london show. The flag I believe will be again resin as John said its reduced weight allowed him to do a more dramatic sculpt. The regimental standard is carried by a defending red coat and is slighlty obscured in the Ad.

send me the link...I'll upload it.
I am not sure about that! As far as I can see, there is only the Barrels Regt. Ensign and the fallen Jacobite flagbearer - if you are referring to the JR-17 (Combat set #4), I believe it has just been released

My mistake. I looked closer and the flag bearers are the only new figures. -- AlI am not sure about that! As far as I can see, there is only the Barrels Regt. Ensign and the fallen Jacobite flagbearer - if you are referring to the JR-17 (Combat set #4), I believe it has just been released

The Banner held by the fallen Jacobite Standard bearer seems to be another from the Cameron of Lochiel's Regiment (this one with the family crest)!
So the new figure must be representing a MacLachlan of Coruanan, as they were the hereditary standard-bearers of the Chiefs of Clan Cameron!

You can see both flagbearers a bit better

Yes, they look great. It's nice to see standard bearers in non typical poses.

These are absolutely stunning figures. Whatever the flags are made of, seems to be really working. The Colours have a visual lightness, movement and drape to them - A nice step forward from the heavier straight out flag presentation of in some of the early sets that John did a few years ago.
Stuart Reid states in his book ''Like Hungry Wolves'', that Barrell's regimental colour was unusual in it not having the small Union flag canton in the upper corner.
