(Gnome Wars) New Releases for Cold Wars 2012

First off, I'm a wee bit pissed tonight. Kids that boycott sleeping make me grumpy. Pushing my painting time into the AM, even grumpier. Getting sniped at not one, but two eBay auctions for the first time in over a decade? Freakin' pissed!


The good news is that there will be a plethora of new Gnome Wars figures.


The bad news is (a) available product is small for all the figs except for the American medics. Don't make a day trip just to pick up the figs. It's cheaper to pay shipping once the production molds are in Lon's hands. (b) Somehow I missed the photos of the greens being posted back on February 10th on the yahoo board, and I only missed the what's coming out since the 3rd of March. I've had three different people tell me to check out the Brigade Games blog for new gnomes, yet the latest post of their's is December releases. I never even thought to double check the yahoo group. I shall be more vigilant from now on.

Some comments and opinions for this peanut gallery. Thank God the Italians took a back seat for the time being. Both American sides are now fully fleshed out, and the German/Swiss detachments have dedicated figures. The Sikhs will no longer look like an organized mob charging into death (they'll be a disciplined unit charging into death). And the Orangeman isn't just a random fig on the website.

For my Californian Imperial Guard, I'll stick with Northern troops for artillery, the Southern nurse (hell-ooooo nurse!), and the Northern doctor (who does rhinoplasty and lipo in between battles).

I'll be there Friday to snag up as much of this stuff as humanly possible. That's an extra two dozen figs I hadn't anticipated, plus my normal shopping list. I might have to add an extra bank to knock off before I get to the Host.
