Tarleton's Legion Has Arrived!




Tarleton's British Legion at the charge, showing all 7 of the new figures (click to enlarge).

I just received two large boxes full of castings from Griffin Moulds today, and the shipment included the new Fife & Drum AWI Dragoons: British Legion Cavalry (7 poses), the British 17th Light Dragoons (4 charging poses) and the 3rd Continental Dragoons (4 charging poses). I only had time to glue, blackwash and photograph the British Legion figures this evening, so I will do the rest of the figures in a day or two and post the pictures here.

Let's let the pictures tell the story:


Command figures: officer (left) and trumpeter (right)

Two charging variants on two different charging horses.


Shouldered sword trooper on walking horse.

Firing pistol and hacking downward.


I will be sending figures out to the Kickstarter backers first, starting next week, but after that the figures are available to everyone. If you did not participate in the Kickstarter campaign you are probably kicking yourself wondering why you did not back the campaign. Not to worry, feel free to pre-order any of our Continental or British AWI dragoons and I can start shipping in two weeks. There is no payment necessary until I am ready to ship you your figures, but the pre-order ensures that I am able to set aside the figures that you want.

For the time being, we are selling the cavalry as single figures, but eventually the plan is to package them in packs of two or three figures.

  3. Ah, very nice indeed. I look forward to the pics of the 17 LD. These will be just the thing to round out the backorder on the 3 pdr's when they arrive. Of course, they will need more Brits to keep them company then ;-)
