While I am not playing the Silver Bayonet myself, I think it is great to see him supporting the game with follow-up material. And it seems a good idea to get some other folks like Ash involved since he is working more independently these days.
And it was nice to watch the video interview of him, which gave some insight into his decision making in the game production. Including his own admission that he is not a subject matter expert on the Napoleonic era.
The game was not everything I hoped it would be but I am glad to hear other folks are enjoying it so much. And perhaps as the game matures it may address some of the things I felt lacking, ie better explaining the Harvestmen in the bigger picture as well as on the table and the tactical tempo blackpowder combat.
I will be curious to see if he adds Ottomans to the game with the Egypt expansion.

This is one of those odd situations where I'm very glad something exists but can't support it myself. It's very cool to see North Star making Canadian figures. My own preference for metal means I'm not thrilled about the Wendigo being resin (I checked,) but some people will be, and that's normal procedure for North Star's larger figures anyway.
I'd prefer more weird Canadian monsters in the mix, but the main thing is that I really can't devote the time to open a new genre front in my miniature painting queue.

Really like some of those sculpts for the new Canada supplement. Am I right in thinking these are only available as unit packs rather than individually?

Where's a good online seller to get a good deal on these figures from?

"Coming May 2024.
Face dangerous new foes, recruit new soldiers, and uncover the mysterious treasures of Ancient Egypt in two new campaigns, one competitive and one for solo or cooperative play.
Somewhere beneath the shifting sands lies the forgotten knowledge of the pharaohs – magic granting power over wind and rain, life and death, and even time itself. Napoleon didn't cross the Mediterranean simply to conquer Egypt, he sought these ancient secrets. No one knows what he found, but his military victories since then speak for themselves. Now, as Bonaparte continues to burn his way through Europe, desperate nations have sent their own special units across the sea to search for a counter and end his rampage.
Egypt: Shadow of the Sphinx is a supplement for The Silver Bayonet, in which the players' special units explore the mysteries of this great land, venturing into lost cities, forbidden ruins, and even beneath the Pyramids themselves. Contained within are two campaigns, one competitive and one for solo or cooperative play. Also included is a new recruitment list as well as a number of new soldier types, and the equipment that might give them an edge, but they will still have to face an array of terrifying foes, including mummies, werejackals, and serpopards, many not known to the living for more than 3,000 years...''

Vampires, the Black Wolves, The Revenants, and Deserters...
Great looking figures, great characters.
I need me Sharpe, and his Rifles for a team.
