Here's the sprue and the project art!

Looking forward to these.

Really nice.

I've heard on the grapevine we can look forward to mounted versions early next year, then dismounted and mounted Apaches, and at least one more variant building.

The Horseless Horsemen!

lord_blackfang, the mounted set is set for the first half of 2026. The sculpting is nearly finished.

Very cool! Are these more true-scale or heroic? They look a bit chunky, but it'd be interesting to know if they're going to be more compatible with historical or sci-fi lines.

This is great to hear. Any chance we may get an arm on there holding a guidon?

They are on the chonky side, they work with Atlantic but not really "lanky" plastic historicals like Perry.

I like that the officer has a U.S. Army Smith & Wesson Model 3 Schofield revolver, a top-break revolver, that was adopted by the U.S. Army in 1875. Nice detail.
