This was just posted on the Steve Dean forum, it is form Mark Copplestone's newsletter. Certainly interesting and surprising.;
Hi
We`ll be at Salute again this year on 28th March - Stand TK12 - with a brand new range and some new KKBB/Future Wars resin models.
NEW RANGE
Maybe it`s my early childhood memories of the creaky, but charming, Tales of Rubovia puppet series (http://telegoons.org/rubovia/index2.htm) but the Early Periwig period has always appealed to me. And so a small, but comely, 1665-1680 range - named the Glory of the Sun in honour of Louis XIV, The Sun King, the chief hero/villain of the age. It`s a colourful transitional period - with larger armies in very varied uniforms led my the Great Conde, Turenne and Montecuccoli amongst others. There`s a campaign in Tangiers, an English brigade fighting alongside the French, the rise of Prussia and oddities like the perfidious career of the warlike Prince-Bishop of Munster (whose army included Frankenstein`s regiment). More info and some pics as soon as possible.
5% OFF SALUTE ADVANCE ORDERS
We`re bringing a good stock of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang figures and resin props and at least a couple of packs of most other things, but if you want to be sure of getting what you want (and saving 5%) please email us your advance order to sales@copplestonecastings.co.uk.

Copplestone = exciting. Wargames Factory are all too likely to disappoint with their eventual offerings...
The most I am expecting at the moment is something that will have some use for conversions.

Yep, a word of warning though, Wargames Factory stuff has a tendency to pop out of the moulds looking nothing like the computer generated images they use to cut the moulds. Very rounded and none too crisp.
Cheers,
Darrell.

I wish I could figure out which of the figures are specifically French, specifically English or generic.

I'd say the guys with the highest cuffs, above the elbow, are the French.

Anyone know where to buy these by mail order. The Copplestone website doesn't even list them!
