28mm Franco - Prussin War

We have been very quiet lately due to various things going on, the plans are still in progress for development on the range, however, we will not be doing any more sculpts until the end of August 2014 - there after, we will be back in full swing.

28mm Game at the Exeter Show May1st

we are running a FPW game at the Exeter show, using Fire and Fury rules - will mostly be infantry, but we are trying out the rules, plus will have a couple of buildings on show as well.

I will post some pictures of the game afterwards.

28mm FPW Brunswick

After we have done the cavalryman for the Bavarians, we will start on a small Brunswick force, probably only one pack of infantry and command

28mm French Cavalry FPW

Found a slight problem with the cavalry, tricky fitting the arms on, received some feedback regarding this as well - so I am going to get them remolded with the arms attached, one on the shoulder, one charging, one in the air.

We also have our first 4 Austrians done for the 1859 war, and are getting our first Bavarian cavalry done.

As a side line, here is a picture of one of the French cavalry that someone painted up, plus two steam punk woman - as a side line

28mm FPW - Austrians 1859

We have had a slight deviation from our French and Prussians, with our first pack for the Austrians in 1859 - this will be followed by command and cavalry. We can use our French for this conflict as well, we have also just done a standard bearer for some Prussians, as well as a Prussian in greatcoat, with cap and also helmet.
We will be continuing with our releases after the Exeter show in May.

We have also got a small selection of MDF buildings in 28mm for this period as well - there are unpainted, and consist of a three story house, and brick barn and a dormer house - I will post some pictures this week

28mm FPW Update

Been very bust recently, and gone slightly off track. We are just waiting for the castings to come back for the Bavarian Standard Bearer and the standard for the French Cuirassiers, we have also started our Prussians with a Prussian standing firing in a greatcoat, and slightly off the beaten track, an Austrian for the 1859 campaign.
Once they are back, I will post the pictures, we also have a small selection of (unpainted) MDF buildings for this period, at present it stands at 6 buildings, again, I will post some pictures this week.

We are busy painting up units for our game at the Exeter show in May, after this show, we will go back to expanding our range:

We are still looking at getting a small selection of Brunswick and Cavalry for the Bavarians done b

28mm Franco-Prussian next figures

Although we need to get head conversions done for the Zoauves, and another basic pack for the Line, Guard and Zouaves - this is basically a few conversions, we are going to get our first Brunswicks started and also a lancer for the Bavarians.
Alongside this, we are going to complete our second pack of Bavarian infantry, this will then give us 8 foot and 3 command figures.

28mm FPW Game for Exeter

We are busy painting units for a large FPW game at the Exeter show in May - the game will consist of 12 French units and 2 cavalry, plus a couple of guns, V 12 Bavarian units, cavalry, plus a couple of guns

28mm FPW Update - Regiment Packs

We are adding to our website the following:

24 man regiment packs, including command:

French Guard
French Line
French Zouave

Bavarian

Each of these will be £28.00


12 figure cavalry packs for £28.00

French Cuirassier (12 figures, command is not completed as yet)


I have also added some photos of units we have done for a game

28mm - FPW

At present we are having a Bavarian standard bearer done, plus a standard bearer for the cavalry. We are going to run a large demo game at the Exeter show in May, to this affect, we will be releasing Bavarian lancers in the near future.
on our website - www.heroesofthedarkage.com - we have some of the packs available, we are in the process of redesigning a website, away from the dark age feel, so please bare with us.
Also, once we have some cavalry and guard in bonnet de police, I will add those to the website. I will also add pictures of he regiments we have painted.

28mm FPW Prussians - Kick Starter

Although not so keen on the Kick Starter program, (and having had a half go in the past), it can not be said that it is a good way to produce a range, game that would otherwise take a long time with normal means.
We are continuing with our French and Bavarians and will keep on track with the releases already mentioned in previous posts. We have only a couple (literally) of Prussians, only because so many other companies are doing them, but after brain storming with a friend, only yesterday, toyed with the idea of trying to finance a Prussian range which would fit with our other figures.
Considerations would be to start small, producing a command and line pack, with stretch goals for light, cavalry, artillery and allies.
We would also like to make sure that those that pledge, receive their fair share of free and discounted packs as well

Any ideas or comments would be appreciated

28mm FPW range for the future

For the next 6 months, we will be concentrating on the following releases:

- New infantry pack and standard bearer for the Bavarians
- Lancers for the Bavarians
- Dragoons for the French
- Mounted command for both the Bavarians and French
- Extra infantry pack for the Guard, Zoauves, Line


If there is anything anyone would like to see produced, then please email me

28mm FPW game, PAW and Exeter

we are putting on a small FPW demo game at PAW in Plymouth in February, this is just to show off some of our current range, this is a pre-run for a larger game at the Exeter show in May. I will post some photos of the show in the middle of Feb.
I am presently painting up a number of units for this, the rules we are going to use are a converted Fire and Fury set. These actually work very well.

28mm FPW Cavalry

We have just received our first castings of the French cavalry, just waiting on the standard bearer and musician - once they are painted, I will post some pictures of them
