The best laid plans and all that…

17th Jan 2026

The best laid plans and all that…

…but more of that a little later.   The first thing for today is that all-important order number, which this week has reached #33885. 

If all had gone to plan this week, I should now be announcing the release of our first new range of figures for 2026.  However, Andrew the mould maker has not been able to get in, foiled by a combination of bad weather and a bit of ill health.   As a result, the final two moulds for the range have yet to be pressed. and as a result of that, the Big Reveal will have to wait until next week.

However, in response to requests received, I can list what will be in the range so plans can be made and lists compiled. So here in all their glory are the warriors of Assyria.

  • AAS01 - Assyrian Guard infantry
  • AAS02 - Assyrian armoured spearmen, body shield

  • AAS03 - Assyrian armoured archers
  • AAS04 - Assyrian armoured slingers
  • AAS05 - Auxiliary infantry - Body shield
  • AAS06 - Auxiliary spearmen round shield
  • AAS07 - Assyrian unarmoured archers
  • AAS08 - Assyrian Cavalry
  • AAS09 - Assyrian Cavalry, armoured horses

  • AAS10 - Assyrian 4 Horse chariot
  • AAS11- Assyrian command

There will also be a ready-made army pack.

The first show of the year is creeping up fast as we move close to February 1st and the excellent Vapnartak at York racecourse.  At the risk of overly repeating myself, because we are concentrating on mail order at the moment, we will not be able to fully restock show items, so if you know what you want from us at the show, including the new Assyrians, please get in touch asap.
