Morgan Miniatures - Various new releases

Review taken from 'Casting Around'

Gareth Morgan’s striking Aztecs have been featured in this column before and he has now added to them as well as releasing something completely different. The additions to his range of Aztecs and Conquistadors are Aztec and Tlaxcallan archers. The Tlaxcallans initially fought the invading Spaniards but later joined them fighting the Aztecs, who were their traditional enemies. There are currently standing and kneeling archers, in three poses - shooting, reaching for an arrow and holding bow and arrow ready to fire. Shown here are the standing firing figures and the significant difference is in the headdress of the two warriors; the Tlaxcallan is the one with the tall headdress with a crest of feathers.

Gareth’s new departure is a range of Napoleonic Peninsular War Spanish guerrillas and he sent me the first two figures in the range, standing firing and kneeling firing. These are available with a choice of headgear (bandanna, tall hat or cap) according to customer preference. These are multi part kits with torso and legs cast separately although future releases, and another six poses are planned, will probably have the torso and legs cast in once piece. I’m not aware of anyone else producing Spanish guerillas at the moment.

These new figures are every bit as good as Gareth’s previous releases and excellent painted versions can be seen on Gareth’s website for guidance on painting (or just to enjoy).

The castings measure 60mm approx. Aztec and Tlaxcallan castings cost £10.50 each (£30.00 each painted matt connoisseur style) and the Spanish guerilla castings are £8.50 each (£22.00 each matt connoisseur style). UK recorded delivery postage - £1.50 for the first figure and 60p for each subsequent figure; European postage - £2.50 for the first figure and £1.50 for each additional figure; Rest of the world - email (morganminiatures@hotmail.co.uk) for a postage quote. Gareth can accept payment via paypal for overseas customers.
