If TGM was to go into Nap's what would you like to see (1 Viewer)

There is nothing mean in a factual observation, they did lose nearly every battle against the French and their uniforms were quite plain for the time. No matter though, I do hope you get all the Austrians you wish for.

It is very simple...just make all the Austrians dead.

Instead of Waterloo British and French, go in a completely different direction and do all of the major combatants for The Peninsular Campaigns, 1807-1814.

British Infantry, Highlanders, 95th rifles, Dragoons, Hussars, Brunswickers, Portuguese Cacodores, Spanish Infantry, Dragoons, Hussars, Guerillas, French infantry in campaign dress, cavalry, artillery, Swiss, Irish Legion, Kingdom of Naples, Italians, Westphalians, Duchy of Warsaw, Nassau, Confederation of the Rhine, Hesse-Darmstadt, Baden, etc, etc, the list really is endless, you could do hundreds of figures.

I'd too would like to see Austrians, a totally neglected army that was involved in a major way in the 1805, 1809 and 1813-1814 campaigns, Austerlitz, Aspern/Essling, Wagram, on and on it goes.

Fusiliers, Grenadiers, Chasseurs, Grenzer Regiments, Cuirassiers, Hussars, Lancers, Artillerymen, quite a massive army to represent in miniature.

Also, Russians and Prussians would be most welcome too.............

Yes I'd love to see more from this campaign too, but please lets see the soldiers in campaign clothing and NOT 'On-Parade' like so many other make.

I know that it looks nice to see all the colourful uniforms, but going on the reports I have read about Wellington's Army on the time, they were a 'rag tag' set of troops, and and relied upon local fabrics to mend thier torn clothing. They were often had bare feet after thier boots wore out, wore captured boots and trousers and packs, were unshaven and also had a load of camp followers with them.

Just have a look at the Sharpe's Rifles TV series for example, thats the way I'd love to see troops from this campaign represested in minature.

For another example these are some from Tradition of London, that I've painted form 'the Retreat to Corunna'

John,
Nice job on the figures, they look great and you are spot on with your comments, wold love to see rag tag British and French, British in tan trousers, French in tan, grey, white and blue striped pants, covered shakos, the works............

 

[Spitfrnd]

Actually just proper proportion in the vitals, like heads, facial features, hands and bodies would be the best, whatever the countries. British and French would be nice though.

If TGM was to go into Nap's what would you like to see.

Andrew,

I got Tom's Christmas Email in last night and its now not a matter of "If TGM was to make" but definitely 'WHEN they make' because his said he was about to release the new NAPs in the New Year

Can't wait... but I will have to...

I would love to see with what TG can come up with in terms of Napoleonic figures . I voted for Brunswickers , Prussian and Austrians . I would like to see more manufactures step out of the comfort zone of producing Brits and French , there is nothing wrong with either but there is just so much more to the period . I received the newsletter and will be watching to see what TG is capable of producing , I wish em the best I'm sure K&C are not Happy with the fire Thomas Gunn has lit Happy collecting Gebhard

 

[Spitfrnd]

Interesting and I assume rather unrepresentative pole results in part. The British preference is no surprise here but how can the Austrians rank above the French???? Besides the obvious issues, just who is it they would be fighting?????

 

[Mitch]

I think TG has a great position in the market to do something different and hope he does. Lots of people want variation in these releases thats the good thing with a new company a bit of freshness and innovation lack of fear whatever you wish to call can be a good thing

Bill,
As others have pointed out, there are numerous French choices in this scale from K & C and CS; infantry, cavalry and artillery. TGM would be well served to fill in the gaps around the French and British that have already been done by K & C and CS as there are many other figures that can be done.

My vote again is for Penninsular figures, you can go on for quite awhile representing all of the major combatants from that campaign as it stretched from 1807 to 1814............

Well I hope to see if that is true when these come out.

I think one can already see where TG is in the market after just over one year

Going on Tom's email today, its now not IF, but WHEN.

He said For those of you wondering when you will see some paratroops in smocks then not long to wait now, hopefully before we see a show in London in June. Our production line is fairly busy now so I am trying to slot these in along with the new Napoleonic line, due out before then so please bear with me.

So we have a few months to wait, but I bet it will be worth it

Very much looking forward to see what TGM will offer in Napoleonics. Love the quality and creativity they put into their WWII figures - But I just don't want to get into collecting that period again. Hopefully with the new Nap. line, I can start collecting some of these nice TGM figures. - Ken
