HBG WW1 Set

Why not do both?
That is, the same sculpt but with different headgear.
I’ve thought of using the caps/steel helmets difference to mark either green and veteran troops, or the development of helmets as a tech.

……so 2 Infantry sculpts? For neutrals…why?

Please do not loose the main aspect of the set: FRENCH WWI
Yes, you could use the set - at least various pieces - for other nations, BUT I would strongly recommend a perfect historically accurate French WOrld War 1 set in the first place! (unique as selling point! :wink:)
Considering this you COULD think about making 2 Infantry sculpts, one for the 1914 uniform (with cap) and the “most of the war” 1915-1918 one (with helmet).
BUT: To say it with IL’s words: Economically I would produce 1 Infantry sculpt which clearly has to be the latter classic one.Again, the early-war Infantry could be included later in an Expanded set.
But, of course after all other nations had their basic sets first!
(if the French set is a success Germany ought to be next!) -

(if the French set is a success Germany ought to be next!)I think you’ve convinced me, Stefan, to get past my ambivalence: The priority for French infantry should definitely be the Adrian helmet (and so the cavalry with Adrian helmet is fine, too if he does do cavalry) Since his other French set will have a beret, having one Adrian-helmet infantry is crucial, especially considering how widely used it was by other allies: the Russians, Italians, Belgians, Greeks, even the Japanese started out with it! (… and I’m sure I’m leaving out another half-dozen users that you guys will think of…) It was truly one of the “big 3” original modern infantry helmets along with the Stallhelm and the British Brodie. If he does a second infantry, I say, THEN do the early-war kepi.

Dear, Coach!
now to the next big one:
Please make this FRENCH WWI set in historically correct HORIZON BLUE !!!
http://greatwarphotos.com/tag/horizon-blue/
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleu_horizon (exact color scheme and picture)
http://www.151ril.com/content/gear/uniforms/13 (1st pic right uniform; last pictures)
http://www.151ril.com/content/gear/basics(yes, I noticed there will be other colours! No problem as long as the colour palette will also contain the “true” colour!
It’s (NEW) WWI in the first place, not WWII !!!) -
Is this set the only WW1 set that HBG will do?

Possibly, we will play it by ear to see how popular our first set is, we will continue our WW2 sets.
-
As I see it you will (rightfully) continue your WW2 sets anyway!
BUT if your first FRENCH WW1 set is a hit, you will (most likely) make a second one, right?
(so please make a perfect one and you might get it!) -
This set will have cavalry, zeppelins, rail guns, forts, and destroyers right?
At least in different colors the 1914 game could have extra piece types even though they are all french design…
-
Following this thread previously you already know which unit types will be included (page 1), so what’s the point of your post?
There will be no zeppellins, Rail Guns or Forts so…?
-
….So there should be
-
No.
If there were a set of 20 different unit types, ok.
But in a basic 12 types set, simply no. -
I listed 5 different unit types, not 20.
-
What colours is this coming out in? I know you said french blue and about 8-9 others. What are the 8-9 other colours? Is dutch orange one of them?
-
All of HBG Neutral Colors plus French OOB Blue from Global 40

Oh awesome. Thanks for the quick reply :-D
-
Thoughts?
-
Very nice.
And he isn’t aiming his gun at anyone. Not sure about the bayonet, though…
-
What bayonet? I didn’t see any bayonet. Or are you saying that he SHOULD have a bayonet on his rifle?
I think it is a very good French infantry sculpt. Did you guys make that with the 3d printer?

All of HBG’s future sets will be Computer modeled, Amerika, Japanese Sets, WW1 set, etc.
We feel we needed better looking sculpts and sizing of our pieces.
