Anybody else waiting on the upcoming Blackwatch figures ? Looking forward to them badly needed reinforcements.
Is there any update to share ? ... these seem to be behind schedule
Thank You

Very nice OD, I know what you mean about waiting. I finally have started receiving my Durbar stuff that was due out in JUne, trouble is now it all comes at once.

They may have taken their time arriving but it certainly looks like it was worth the wait. Very nice, very nice figures indeed.

These have been on my Christmas list for sometime. They do look fantastic .
Old Dragoon, I notice the firing figures have bayonets fixed.
Fine by me. I want my square to be bristling with cold steel. Notice these images
do NOT have them .Maybe someone changed their mind and had to alter the production run, causing delay. Worth the extra time.

Yes that is interesting about the bayonets. There was some discussion about it when they were first announced as I recall so you may be right. They do look nice and I think they would fit in nicely with the First Legion Guards and promised 92nd Foot. I have found the Britain's Napoleonics the perfect match in size and the poses and painting for these is noticably better than for the retiring Coldstreams.

Thank you all for your kind observations.
Yes, it was a very pleasant surprise that the "firing" figures arrived with their bayonets fixed.
and I am still "waiting" on more Blackwatch and the fighting Officer, Sergeant, Piper and casualty figures look even more delicious.

Yes it is. I've seen a guy some years back skewer himself pretty good.
I'm planning a large formation. Can't manage 4 ranks deep so we're going with 2 ranks, so having them all with bayonets dosent bother me too much.

Hi Fubar, I love your 42nd firing line photo !
. Your Black Jocks look great with your King and Country "The Forty Twa" You can never have enough Scots ( Scotland the brave ) in your Army!

Very impressive looking lot Fubar; I look forward to getting some of those myself. That is the trouble with these Napoleonic formations, you can always find the need for more.
