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.

Looks really good! Hopefully there will be a sprue for the swedes too!

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.

Clibinarium · Post by **Clibinarium** » Fri Mar 27, 2009 11:08 am

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!
