Today we share a couple photos from our 15mm First Italo–Ethiopian War range. Full figure listings can be found on the Bloodaxe Miniatures site. Thee photos are from last week’s photo session, so they are a little dark. Never fear. New photos soon. The next scheduled photo session is early next week.

Next time we will show some Ethiopian Waruari aka spearmen.

The first of the new molds for the Scruby 20mm French Napoleonic Calvary are now complete. There are two, maybe three more to go. We will circle back to these after the completion of the Austrian Infantry molds. The Cavalry figures now ready to join your armies are:
French Cavalry
2055C Hussar, 1810 shako, attacking (1 & 2 piece versions) 2056C Polish Lancer, lance erect 2059C Line Chasseur a Cheval, attacking 2061C Cuirassier, attacking 2065C Guard Chasseur a Cheval, attacking (1 & 2 piece versions)
Be sure to check the Specials page for our special pricing on these recently re-molded figures.
Photos continue to be troublesome, but we did manage to get a few decent shots, so without further ado, a small batch of photos.
20mm French Cavalry:
2055C : Hussar, 1810 shako, attacking
2059C : Line Chasseur a Cheval, attacking
2061C : Cuirassier, attacking
2065C : Guard Chasseur a Cheval, attacking
We were having issues with lighting yesterday, so the photos of the Austrian Cavalry are delayed until later this week. Also, once we solve our lighting problems (either too dark, or too light), we will re-do the photos for the French Cavalry.
With the first of the two (2) piece Cavalry we needed to re-mold the 20mm horses. The first two have been remolded with one more to follow. As far as I could find the 20mm horses never had catalog numbers, so we have assigned new numbers for 20mm horses. Before I forget again, there will also be a 20mm artillery/linmber horse. I’m re-working this one, and will add it to the mix with the next 20mm horse molding.
H2001 : 20mm Standing Horse
H2002 : 20mm Horse
It is starting to look like the next new re-molds (after Austrians and French Cavalry will be British Cavalry. Why British Cavalry? Well, OK, call me selfish, but – That’s what I need next. The one thing I’m missing form my basic Fire and Charge armies is British Cavalry, so these will jump up a bit in the re-molding queue.
Look for more news and photos later in the week.
Alison has completed her photo sessions. However, I need to finish my editing sessions. Rather than making you wait longer for any photos, I thought I’d share a couple pictures.
After some email questions and comments online, I figured it might be a good idea to provide a little more background information on, at least the drummer figures. Updates to the original post are presented in maroon and italics.
These are from some very much delayed 28mm American War of Independence releases. The first, as you can see is our Drummer in Bearskin. This drummer and his brothers (in tricorne and bare headed) are from our small range of convertible castings. Our convertible castings were originally intended to be sold headless, with a selection of do-it yourself heads. We found that, while buyers liked the idea of swappable heads, many found assembly a bit too fiddly. As such we will be offering versions with heads cast on (convertible versions will also be available) as shown above. In addition to the drummer we have his cousin the Standard bearer (same headgear offerings). These models were not intended to represent any specific unit, they were initially designed to fill in gaps in my personal AWI armies. The masters have been kicking about on my workbench for the last 6 or 7 years (did I mention that sometimes we are really sloooow to release new figures?). As such further additions to this (small) range may not match as well as we once hoped for, but we shall see what we can come up with.
The next is the officer figure for our British Light Infantry wearing cut down coats. I have a bit of re-working to complete on the remainder of this (light infantry) set, but do hope to have work completed an figures ready by Thanksgiving. These light infantry figures are of the same vintage as the drummer above. They have been delayed mainly due to the need to re-work a couple of the figures (changes to make them easier to cast).
Alison will have another photo session next week. This will cover the 15mm pieces I missed passing off to her for this week. She will also take a pass at some of the 20mm Napoleonic figures recently re-molded.
That is a wrap for this week. My weekend days will be filled with farm work, as well as two scheduled shop sessions (mold work as well as some casting). I also have a small amount of sculpting work to complete. So. my weekend will be full. Be sure to check-in next week for the final lists for round one of 20mm French Napoleonic Cavalry re-molding, and more pictures and figure release announcements.
Today’s post will be short one. Simply a couple of pictures depicting our upcoming 54mm Assyrians.
These new 54mm figures were created by Aaron Brown of Black Crab Sculpting. They will be part of our small Collectors Line.
The masters are in hand and we are looking at having these in production by the end of the year. More news one these as we wind our way towards production.
