Well a couple of weeks until releases, what are you expecting?

For me some Roman Brits, hopefully the WW2 German Paras [winter] and I know there will be something else that will be great..........

the elephant looked great, saw it at the London show, but not really my interest, but still fantastic.
 
I think TG will go forward with the Republican Romans to cover both the Carthaginian and Macedonian wars. The battles with King Pyrrhus of Epirus cost the Romans several legions and introduced them to War Elephants long before Hannibal invaded Italy. The entire period from 300 BC to the end of the Roman Republic had a series of interesting conflicts with peer opponents in the classical world. More interesting in many respects to the conflicts with Celts and Germans IMO.
 
Perhaps the Jap Howitzer !
Be interesting to see the Persians, these could prove to be very popular.

I think both Greek and Macedonian collectors want more Persians in action.....and especially Persian cavalry which are neglected by most makers.
Down the road some Greek and Macedonian cavalry would be great. I know that FL did a very good job with Alexander and his Macedonian Phalanx but TG could add to this at more reasonable prices.
 
More Napoleonic Russian grenadiers …. we got only one , so where are the rest of the Regiment ??????

Seems to vary a bit. Guess with being so far away from the factory it makes it difficult to predict when the latest batch arrives.

Ah yes, but when they send, it takes just 4 days door-to-door, which beats the internal mail service here in Oz. The elephant and the Skoda howitzers are looking good here but my Russian Grenadier is lonely - scouting around for companions :)

It is normally the second or early third week of month, but it is definite delivery, they have them, unlike another manufacturer we could name, and they do arrive towards the end of the month. I will also point out that when ordering from T Gunn they dispatch and deliver very quickly. Finally lets not forget they do a second release every month for aircraft...........
 
Latest aircraft release I saw was a Japanese Dinah, a twin-engine recon plane and an AK version of the Stuka, the one with the snake on the fuselage. -- Al

Saw the Stuka as well, I have the Figarti one.
 
Next dispatches should be on Monday 16th July as just waiting on photos to come through. We can confirm that the Persian Immortals are here as well as 2 all new Praetorians.
Also on the way a new Russian Napoleonic figure and some WW2 goodies.

Best the Team @ Gunn
