The postman has been busy! A fantastic new batch of scenic items and civilians has just arrived from Irregular Miniatures to add some much-needed life and "Duffy-esque" detail to our Bohemian landscapes.

The following items are now officially on the workbench for cleaning and priming:

  • CV09: 18th Century Civilians
  • CV12: Market scene
  • ES12: Strip of gabions
  • ES13: Two ladders
  • ES19: 2-wheeled ox cart and oxen
  • ES20: Team of four horses
  • RU46: Base of seven sheep

RU46: Base of seven sheep

  • RU47: Base of four cows

RU47: Base of four cows

  • RU50: Gibbet and victim
  • RU54: Two gates
  • RU62: Abandoned hay cart
  • RU63: Pig pen (2 variants)

These pieces will be vital for populating the villages and rural outskirts of our 6mm battlefields, moving the project beyond just the infantry and cavalry and toward a truly living 18th-century world.
