I hadn't had my morning coffee yet when I did a copy and paste from a previously posted sketch. Asleep at the wheel . . . :redface2:

Since I've only wished for Spanish (Iberian) troops about twenty times on this forum I'm obviously very excited by this sketch!

Thanks, John!

Great to see so much ancient stuff coming through. this time last year it was all Fur Trade. John is certainly majoring in this aspect of our hobby.

Was it no coffee in the morning or one too many the night before! ha ha, only joking. Thanks for putting these update on the forum, i do look everyday, some great figures, two interest me, the Saxon and Roman cav figures. fingers crossed for some WW2 [German or British].

Well i feel blessed. Last years there were so many War of Independence figures. This year every figure is in a range i love and collect, except probably won’t get the Celtiberian. Great drawings, cant wait for them to become figures in my collection

Now we are talking! This is getting very exciting with those heavy Hittite chariots coming into view. I am enjoying this advent calendar so much more than last years. But I still ended up buying most of the Fur Trade stuff that has been released. But just keep bringing on the ancients.

But also love all the American Civil War releases. It has pulled me right back into collecting this era.

 

[jason foote]

Yes i am with you Gary. This years drawings are so exciting. I sold all my Ancient Egyptian figures, made by an assortment of makers, to make money and space for new figures. Now i am going the full circle and will be right into this.

 

[Francis]

The Hittite tank!
this coincides with the future Egyptian tank !
The battle of Kadesh is taking shape!
if the theme is developed widely, superb figurines await us...
my next theme, for sure!

Well how good is the festive season? I love this figure, i have all the Germans and some cavalry is the icing on tye cake. They could fight with or against the Romans.
Thanks so much to John for the sketches and Mike for posting them. It makes me feel like a kid to be able to wake up and want to go straight to the forum to see what goodies await.
