I am considering a big GNW project for the TOSK rules and considering whether 6mm, 10mm or 15mm.

6mm would naturally be a no brainer however I am concerned that the GNW sculps might not be the best so my questions are:-

1] Any chance of new GNW sculps in near future? (literally just read Peter's post so answer is no)

2] How will the existing GNW range mix with new WSS figures which would be used for Saxons etc

3] Can the WSS figures be used as Russians save using the older GNW Russians

5] When will the new Scanian figures be out and could the Karpus figures be substitued for Russians with Kartuz

6] Will the Sacnian figures all be Matchlock or will there be a fintlock range that could be used as earler GNW Swedes

Hi Gordon,

Let's do this one by one:

• I am afraid that the new GNW sculpts are on hold until the completion of the Pony Wars project.
• Yes, the GNW and WSS will mix very well, but not on the same bases.  There is a difference in the sculpting style and the newer figures are on slightly larger horses.
• Yes, the new WSS sculpts can be used as Russians.
• Scanian wars will be out very soon.   The latest Helion book on the Russian army of the period puts forward the view that there was actually no real difference between a Swedish karpus and a Russian Kartuz, so yes.
• The Scanian War range will have flintlock muskets as well as matchlocks.

How's that?

Hi Peter

Sounds like its wait for Scanian war figures then use combination of these and WSS and only use GNW Swedish Infantry for later Swedes.

Peter, will the new GNW sculpts be compatible on the same base with the old (ie current ones)? Just starting a GNW project myself thanks to finding one of your old DBR boxes in cupboard that I bought about 15 years ago! (I'm doing Polish)
