[general-jcl]

Wowww fantastic!
Thank you Sandris

 

[cubsfan6506]

Brilliant work inded.

 

[Colonel Tigh]

These are great units.

 

[Pounder]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Perfect.

You have done so much in such a short time, much appreciated.

 

[aaglo]

Pretty models

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

And I'll say it again Sandris you are the Wyrmshadow of the flesh...

 

[Partizanac]

Once again great work man!

But in the first two units, in attack A when they rise the gun... their blue sleeves turn red!

 

[BadKharma]

Very, very nice the more units from this time period you crank out the more gaps get filled in. Thank you so much for making these.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Alright some suggestions as you wished in the first post for pack 2:

Zulu War Rifleman: Unit from the British campaign against the Zulu(or would the colonial rifleman forefill this role?)

Very Late 19th century Rifleman: Post redcoat era, with tan uniform.

Thats all I can think of, hope that helps.

Fixed. Check the post #1.

Beautiful units, Sandris! These will come in very useful!

 

[Ozymandias]

Sandris, your units are simply magnificent! I'm curious though as to why you eschew Civ-colored units? Surely nothing is lost (in this case, Britain's Civ color could certainly be red) and I, for one, am champing at the bit to use your units as much as possible!

Best,

Oz

 

[Plotinus]

More excellent units there. Did British grenadiers really wear such silly hats?

 

[Thorvald of Lym]

Not sure about the pouf on the top, but yes, they liked their mitre caps.

 

[Blue Monkey]

I usually prefer playing the Ancient/Medieval focused mods, but your previews make me want to see them in play! Amazing detail on the packs, etc.!

A simple suggestion: do a version of the "Colonial Rifleman" in khaki with the belts/straps/boots in dark brown.

Also, I add my voice to the clamor for civ-colored versions.

 

[Micaelus]

Holy wow! These are great...I'm extremely impressed with the speed in which you put out these packs of fantastic units!

 

[Ares de Borg]

Superb! I love your packs. Will there be WW1 packs as well? We could need more infantry of that era, to go with Wyrm's nice early tanks and biplanes.

 

[Azmorg]

Very nicely done!
Are you perhaps familiar with the works of the author Bernard Cornwell?
He has written a series of historical novels set in the Napoleonic Era.
The protagonist is Richard Sharpe, a lieutenant in a British Rifle regiment using the Baker Rifle.
Cornwell has written 24 books in the series so far, spanning the early days in India, 1799, to the imprisonment of Napoleon on Saint Helena, 1820.

I was thinking it would be a terrific addition to this set to include a rifle unit from the European theatre. Here is a link to Wikipedia's page on Cornwell.
