Cannon Fodder Miniatures

25mm Italians and Alamo

by Richard Brooks


Greg sent some new Italians that I really like and I hope he expands the variety some. IC5 and IC6 are super detailed I really like these guys and will have to, groan, buy some more to add to my Italians. The headgear and feathers and uniform details are outstanding. Don't think I am putting down either of the other two Italians because I'm not.

All of these figures are very well detailed and animated. IC3s facial features may be over done somewhat, especially since, I'm assuming, he's supposed to be Ethiopian. Other than that these four figures plus the other two already reviewed are adding up to a very nice line of figures well worth investing in.

The other figures are from Greg's new range of Alamo figures. While I am not particularly interested in the Alamo these are also very nice, well detailed, well animated, great figures. Some of these I am sure, although Greg hasn't said so, are similar to the john Wayne Alamo movie characters, certainly 'The Parson' and the 'Beekeeper' are.

If the movie were on now I guess the others would be there also which to me makes these figures well worth collecting.

Shown on the next page are:

IC3 Italian Askari
IC4 Italian Militia
IC5 Italian Besaglieri Officer
IC6 Italian Besiglieri soldier

And from the NEW ALAMO range are:

TX1 "Wild Bill"
TX2 "Stinky"
TX3 "Old Jake"
TX4 "Beekeeper"
TX5 "The Parson"
TX6 "Baddawg"
MX1 "El Presidente" Santa Ana 5 March 1836

As with past reviews of Cannon Fodder Figures I am very impressed and HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!
