Askari Miniatures goes pulp! We've just put our first sets of Egyptians into production! Shown above is EG-1, digging crew. We are also releasing a set of merchants (EG-2) and a man with a donkey (EG-3) for hauling away all that dirt. Future releases will include farmers and fishermen.
Whether your Foreign Legionnarres have marched across the desert in search of treasure, your archeologists are digging for tombs of the pharaohs, or whatever else your scenario might be, these workers are indispensable. Although they're called Egyptians, their dress is generic enough that they could be used to represent any desert people.
For an archeologist, see the personalities in FRP-1 or Illinois Dan ; for guarding the dig site I've made a small set of four (EG-5) from the Moroccan Recruits pack. Of course, if you already have the recruits, just use some of them.
Be careful of desert raiders--our Tuareg might show up at any time.

 I've just updated the web store with photos of the production cossacks. As usual, they are primed: it shows off the sculpting without a good or bad paint job getting in the way.
This officer of Don Cossacks is really cool--and by painting him in a green coat, he could be a mounted line officer. Our Russian Officer P-101 makes a good version of him on foot.

Tonight I had a look at some Russian artillery pieces I commissioned for Russian Turkestan and Russo-Turkish scenarios. I have to say that they are tremendously awesome! The pieces include:
- 9lb Field gun
- 4lb light field gun
- Limber and caisson
- Gorlov (Gatling) gun
In addition to those, I will release a Krupp 77mm Field gun and limber, and both horse and mule teams. The Krupp piece was used by the Turks in 1877 as well as the Germans and, if I'm not mistaken, by the Boers as well. I found one on display in Morocco, too. All the pieces are in 1/64 scale, made from photographs and scale drawings from the period. For the Gorlov gun, we even had access to the Patent Office plans of the Gatlings.
I expect it will be 4-5 weeks or so before we can get the parts mastered and into production but from what I've seen, it will be well worth the wait.
