Following hot on the heels of the latest figures to be released for their ACW and Samurai ranges, here are a few more figures from First Legion due to be shipped in early May
First, sets GERSTAL050-GERSTAL053 are two summer Germans
at rest and two winter Germans at rest. We like to think of these
figures as essentially being the same two men showing how they would
have appeared at the start of the battle [Stalingrad] and how they appeared closer to
the final German defeat.
Next we have sets DAK025-DAK031
“Fighting” DAK Infantry.
Up to now, the range has showcased moving and
resting DAK figures. These are the first true combat figures for the
range which means of course that an enemy/allied release is not too far
off!
Finally, following up the success of our multiple figure
vignette sets “Death of Lannes” and “French Camp Life” we are extremely
pleased to commence the pre-order of NAP0443-NAP0448 “Holy Virgin
of Smolensk” vignette sets. These figures depict the evening before
the battle of Borodino when the Virgin of Smolensk Icon was paraded
before the Imperial Russian Army to steel their nerves for the horrors
that would come the following morning.
The DAK, Stalingrad, and
Napoleon Europe vignette are pre-orders shipping early May in just a few
short weeks.
And if that wasn't enough, how about a couple of 'sneak peaks' to get you salivating even further. First up, an utterly majestic looking Russian Uhlan officer for their flagship Napoleonic range, followed by the first regiment in yet another new range of figures just announced
First Legion is extremely pleased to present our newest figure range,
the Anglo-Zulu War!!! Part of a larger plan to cover the wars of the
British Empire, we are launching the range with the iconic Great British
24th Regiment of Foot.
Elements of the regiment were heavily engaged
in the desperate and heroic defense at Rorke's Drift where less than 150
British soldiers held off a Zulu force numbering close to 4,000. In
this action, the 24th Foot were awarded more Victoria Crosses than any
other single regiment in a single action in British military
history.
Around the same time, the bulk of the regiment was decimated
at the Battle of Isandlwana where over confidence led to the
annihilation of the British and allied forces.
Happy Hunting!
