Today we have a short update concerning incoming and upcoming projects…

I’ll start with incoming, or expected packages. The lost package has been found (OK, it was only delayed in Customs, but at least it has been found) and the next new figures for the Resistant Roosters line are on there way back from the sculptor. If post times keep with expectations I should have the revised figures in hand early next week. Once in and reviewed I’ll be sure to post pictures and a release schedule.

Now we shall move on to new figures already in hand. Recently received are some new figures for the Bloodaxe Miniatures line. First are some repairs/modifications for some of the Moro figures (the alloy Lance uses for patterns is a bit more brittle than what we use for production – the result in this case were a few figures with broken weapons. Lance fixed up a few pieces and has sent them back; the result will be that releases for the Moro Rebellion range will resume in a couple of weeks.

In the same package as the Moro were some new figures for the WWI range. These new figures are used to represent Engineers. We choose to go with a set of generic engineers rather than unique figures for each nationality.

We continue with 15mm miniatures and add a set of Russians in Budenka cap suitable for use from 1918 (RCW) through 1941. These along with the WWI engineers, WWI Russians in fur cap and the Moro are all slated to be in production in time for Little Wars in early April.

Slated for later in the spring or early summer are early war (WWII) French. These are in hand, but are not going to be worked on until at least mid April. We will post pictures as these near the production phase.

Pictures of all upcoming Bloodaxe releases will be posted as they are worked on and nearing production ready status.

The other project we keep getting delayed on is our 40mm AWI project. I’m still sorting out what to do about warped bases – as soon as I have a plan figured out we will kick these into high gear and get the figures done and released.

The last thing on my list is that we have a number of Bloodaxe 25mm figures that I’ve been casting for personal projects – mostly 18th century types for the SYW period. Soon these will be listed on the Bloodaxe Miniatures website. We decided that since we have molds and figures in hand that we would offer castings for sale – the ranges will not be complete, but there maybe items of interest.

There are a few other projects nearing completion and we will be posting news concerning these later this week or early next – mostly additional WWII Company packs and assorted articles covering nit organization…
