New Release - 17thC Highlanders

As promised, we've finally unleashed our new WEC Highlanders on an unsuspecting world!   Given the number of queries i've fielded about these wee chaps I am sure that there will be loud cheers ringing around parts of the world and the odd glass of spirits raised in toast.

Salute releases and beyond

Following on from a LOT of emails and phone conversations, I think it might be a good idea to let you know exactly what new stuff we'll have available at Salute.   It's a fair old list, so bear with me...

Another obligatory pre-Salute teaser post

And as usual, it will have a  dash of style but no actual substance. We're hard at work getting moulds made and stock cast. The shiny new releases for the show will fall into three areas:

You'll get some hairy highlanders, upper and lower class, stood around and charging.

You'll get some Great War Italians complete with chaps with chicken feathers on their hats.

And you'll get a good bunch of British WW2 releases, marking the start of what will be a very steady stream of releases over the next few months.

These will all be available at Salute and via mail order the week after.

Salute is a coming in

Yes, it's Spring and as the year turns, all thoughts in the wargaming world centre on the extravaganza that is Salute.

Lots of you have started getting your pre-orders in to us, but I'll put out my usual request anyway.  If you are going to the show and know what you want from us, please get in touch beforehand.   We can only take a limited stock of anything to any show, it is the best way to make sure that we have what you want on hand.

The Joy of Six 2019

Another year - that means another Joy of Six show!  The organising team are all really pleased to let you know that the Joy of Six wargames show will be taking place at Sheffield Hallam University on Sunday 7th July 2019.

The First release of 2019 - Great War Austrians

Let''s tick off the first of the 2019 release commitments in style!   If you click here  you'll find them in all their glory.  We've added the usual infantry

It's that Janus time...

It’s that Janus time again…

As regular readers, (now there’s me starting 2019 with optimism by using either of those terms about the Baccus News posts), will know, the first entry of the year is a retrospective of the last twelve months linked to a somewhat futile attempt to outline a production schedule for the coming year.

It's that Time OF Year Again

As we all tumble headlong towards the Yule/Midwinter.Christmas/insert festival of your choice holidays, we have now downed casting ladles and Baccus Megacorp Industries is now officially closed until January 2nd.

A new addition to Team Baccus

We have a new team member here at Baccus Central.  Not a person, but definitely a positive addition to what we do.  Let me introduce you to our new casting machine!

Dotting the 'i's and crossing the 't's Russian style

The new releases are now arriving in a veritable dribble of Biblical proprotions!  This week, we're adding some final codes to finish off the Great War Russian range.   Strangely enough, our range entered the fray without any cavalry.  Yes, there were Uhlans and Cossacks, but no run-of-the-mill bog standard chaps on horses.   Well, here they are...
