    From their announcement:

    Just a preview of what will go to moldmaking in the next days (Perhaps 3 weeks until they are available then).

    Modelled after original fotographs taken between 1895 and 1910 in SF - Tangrenbu as the Chinese call it. And there was a small Tong war there - so here the start of a new subrange of the GangStars. The minis can be used for games up to the 40s even beginning of WWII in Shanghai.

    These look really useful across several settings. I reckon they’d be fine in a sci-fi setting as well as pulp.

    I agree, they’re all nice figures, although I particularly like the merchants. That chap selling the push along monkeys is a lovely sculpt. He wouldn’t look out of place on my Cairo Pulp table…

    These are really nice figures with loads of character. I don’t do historicals but I could see myself painting some of these.

    Whos the sculptor?

    NICE!
