Order arrived. So much sprewy goodness.

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

nice, i fear that that Sarissa still hasn't started shipping anything yet despite all the box pictures they sent WGA last week

but hopefully soon

**lord_blackfang**

Yea of 1500 backers, reports of shipping are still in the low double digits, and only from the US.

You can also use napoleonics for Turnip28, SLUDGE, Aetherpunk28 and other grimsnug!

I am going to use them for a Silver Bayonet team.

**BobtheInquisitor**

I’ll have to see if the long Napoleonic coats would work for Centauri diplomats and courtiers.

The sprues look great, but there seems to be a bit of a snag with gas masked heads in the Artillery crew. There aren't enough Gas mask Filters. There are 4 crew figures, 4 gas-masked heads with holes for filters, but only 1 filter on the sprue.

The Command sprue has a similar issue. 3 human bodies, 3 gas masked heads with holes for filter, but only one filter. There is one head with gas mask where the filter his hidden under a cloth though, so if you used that one, you'd only be short one.

Not the biggest issue, and there is some possibility to borrow a filter from some kits sprues that have an extra, but overall it's an annoying mistake that may affect gamers wishing to field a more uniform all-masked army.

It won't affect me as these will supplement forces that use Pig Iron Colony helmeted gas mask heads (and these will also) but I thought folks should know.

If it had been caught earlier, they could have put some on the backpack sprue and shipped it out with various kits.

Not to gainsay what may be in front of you, but is it possible some of the filter pieces may have been knocked loose in transit?

I'd be very surprised to hear that the number of filters was reduced between the initial sprue run and what's been shipped. See my following post for the preview shots with filters highlighted:

The crew sprues I have definitely have 4 filters, two one side, one on the other side, one near the middle. I long since built the command sprue so I cannot look at that.

**mithril2098**

Looks like there is a third on the sprue over by the revolver arm.

**RazorEdge**

I wonder, when we will get more News to the Seven Years War Battle of Leuthen Set.

What heads will you use for them?

“But this .. this, this, this is like being nibbled to death by .. what are those Earth creatures called? Feathers, long bill, webbed feet .. go 'quack'?"
"Cats."
"Cats. I'm being nibbled to death by cats."

On a plus point, you've inspired me to rewatch Babylon 5 whilst waiting to see what I can do with my fifteen box deal and expansive GW/ WGA bits box.

I like the 30 second Vir - Lenier exasperated exchange at the bar.

Ideally bald or short-haired vampire heads. I have a bunch of Greek and Roman helmet crests that I can glue on sideways to the hair.

Clever use of bits. I thought a 3d party manufacturer was making Centauri heads.

There were some good lines in that show.

"Vir! You moon-faced assassin of joy!"

And Vir got his wish

You're all correct! Not sure how I missed them. I've edited my post. Sorry about that.
