Just found this from Iron Duke Miniatures: The brain-child of renowned historian Colonel Mike Snook (who should be known to some of you), this premier range starts with one of our favourite periods, the Indian Mutiny, and promises to approach the subject in depth and detail. These will be available from our stand at Salute 2015!
Greetings all. A brand new caper but one which I hope the wargaming community will consider well worthwhile and enjoy to the full. My first duty is to express gratitude to all those illuminati of the wargaming world, good friends all, who have helped with their advice and encouragement in getting IDM off the ground. I thought it appropriate in the bicentenary year of Waterloo to name the new company after the great man, so Iron Duke it had to be. The company's genre will be 28mm Historical, with a twin-track emphasis on top quality sculpting and historical authenticity. As I have absolutely no expertise in the first of these fields, you won't be sorry to learn that I've had no choice but to rely on a number of quite exceptional sculptors. And a fine job they are doing of it believe me. The second field I can probably take a stab at myself.
Retail of IDM products has been placed in the hands of the good people at Empress Miniatures, the firm with which customers will be trading directly, where they can be sure to receive the efficient service they both expect and deserve. IDM figures will be retailed in a mirror image of the tried and tested Empress model, with codes consisting of four infantrymen or two cavalrymen complete with trusty steeds. Pricing policy will also mirror that of Empress. We get the ball rolling with an extensive range for the Indian Mutiny of 1857-8. This dramatic and historically fascinating conflict will be addressed by IDM in three major phases:
· Phase 1. Brig. Gen. Henry Havelock's operations (Allahabad Moveable Column).
· Phase 2. Siege of Delhi.
· Phase 3. Sir Colin Campbell's operations for the 2nd Relief of Lucknow.
