Return of Grenadier dwarves

From Frothers Unite - at the Lucca Games 05 festival in Italy (Lucca is a delightful town in its own right and highly recommended) Mirliton, now owners of the rights to the old Grenadier models, announced the re-release of Grenadier's dwarves to add to their Fantasy Warriors line - 28 packs in all, mostly sculpted by the great Nick Lund of Chronicle fame.

Black Hat announces Napoleon in Egypt range

OK, I've abandoned my "no historicals, oh ok then" policy and I'll just let the historicals through. Dammit. And probably buy some. Anyhow, Black Hat, already producers of the "Martian Empires" 18mm victorian science fiction (i.e. Space 1889 type stuff), are releasing a historical range around Napoleon's campaigns in Egypt.

So, anybody that collects 18mm, put your hand up. Ahem. Moving swiftly on then, 12 packs initially, each with 8 models, priced at £2.50/pack:
