Expeditionary Force September Release, as promised they are releasing Celtic War B at a charge. Once again, our very good friend Peter Bergner has advance notice of Expeditionary Force Celtic figures. These figures should be out later this month. These figures will go great with their other Celtic figures.
Expeditionary Force September Release News
Dear All,
Greetings from Singapore!
Very pleased to inform you of the release of one new set in the “60mm Wars of the Roman Empire – Celtic Barbarians” range.
60 CTB 04 Warband at the Charge!
All models are supplied unpainted. The set is now available for shipment. The set contains 9 model soldiers comprising of 2 warriors in armor, 2 warriors in tunics, and 5 warriors bare-chested. The heads, arms, and shields of this set are interchangeable with the other models in the range. This set was conceived based on feedback that the models in set 60 CTB 01 Warband did not bring out the raw energy of barbarian fury. We decided to expand the range to spice up matters a bit. Hope that you and your customers will find something of interest in these models. These are all newly sculpted figures.
Finally, due to tooling-space constraints, one of the heads (bandaged) designed for 60 CTB 05 (Armed Civilians) had to be included in this mold. Since the item has been cast and we need to assemble them as part of our quality inspection, we took a snapshot of it and share it here (see middle model above). CTB 05, by the way, is designed to be the last stand by desperate armed women, children (a teenage boy), elderly men (priests), freed slaves, and the odd wounded warrior. It is scheduled to be released on November 2019.
Next Up
The next set in the production queue is the Napoleonic French Cuirassiers to be released in October 2019.
These are really cool and will go well with the other Celt sets Ex Force has released. Normally, I vastly prefer Ex Force’s 1/32 scale figures as the 60mm figures are really large and look a little out of place mixed with smaller figures. For the Celts, though, this is less of a problem as the historical accounts listed them as very tall/big warriors. A charging set is much needed. Does Ex Force still plan to release French Foot Dragoon for the Napoleonic Wars? I had heard they planned to make those but then they ended up releasing other sets in their Wars of Rome and Napoleonic Wars figure lines.
Appreciate that they are on ‘bases’ and not Mini mountains!!
It’s not really one of my eras, but they are super nice and if I decided to expand my Roman/Barbarian collection they would definitely be under consideration.
The last I heard the 1812 range will be followed by a French Imperial Guard range and then French and British for the 1809-1812 period. The Foot Dragoons, prototypes of which were on the website at one time, could be part of one of the future ranges. As I recall they shred bodies with the Foot Grenadiers of the Guard.
