So lovely. Can't wait. But I am supposed to be doing new skaven not more men. Hmm. Will this hobby ever end?

Hendrid · « **Reply #77 on:** November 15, 2010, 10:23:07 PM »

Definately going to be very useful for ALL SORTS OF THINGS Empire wise. They go well with a lot of the Empire plastics size wise, so even more conversion possibilities.

MiB · « **Reply #78 on:** November 15, 2010, 10:28:07 PM »

A wonderful alternative to the frankly gash empire handgunners we've had to put up with for the last couple of editions

Brilliant!

Would make an excellent box to start a DoW army ...

Timbor · « **Reply #81 on:** November 16, 2010, 03:50:22 AM »

Man, first WF announces their amazons, now these... the price is really appealing too!

WallyTWest · « **Reply #82 on:** November 16, 2010, 01:07:26 PM »

Can you imagine an empire army put together with these figures... They look fantastic...

Perfect for Renaissance gaming.

Did they say 40 figures in 1 box?

john · « **Reply #83 on:** November 16, 2010, 08:44:48 PM »

Excellent figures

Dont know about an Empire army ( I prefer the old slash and puff look ) but would definetly use them for a DoW army.

These are great! I must resist...

Midaski · « **Reply #85 on:** November 19, 2010, 08:43:43 PM »

Caliver have this picture up on their site, and a price of £16.00

Quote

Description:
"40 Hard Plastic Figures. There is a fair amount of variety of arm/weapon choice, allowing you to make up to 18 pikemen, up to twelve crossbowmen, and up to twelve handgunners plus four command. In addition, there are twelve pavises, 15 bucklers/targes, drum arms, two-handed sword arms, and swords in scabbards."

Still nothing on the actual Perry site though?

more expensive than the other box.
Greedy bastards.

Valetus · « **Reply #87 on:** November 19, 2010, 11:25:17 PM »

Ha yeah but only a £, hardly like GW pricing anyway.

Still a friggin steal, you'd pay like £40 for that much from GW

scarletsquig · « **Reply #89 on:** November 20, 2010, 11:35:33 AM »

Nice.. I think that's every one of our infantry options covered now. There's enough extras in that new box to cover swordsmen, crossbows and greatswords in addition to the handgunners and spears.

I think I'm gonna go for a bunch of these instead now, I just can't be affording hordes of 50 infantry at GW prices anymore.. that kind of "£400-£500 per army" money gets spent on a new car, or a deposit on a house, not on toy soldiers.

FR1DAY · « **Reply #90 on:** November 20, 2010, 08:22:54 PM »

The command and men at arms models make great greatswords. They even have proper full plate armour. Pole arms and greatswords are all double handed weapons.

Two boxes of these will really finish off my border princes DOW/Empire army. The new medium cavalry are great two. Although a unit of 15 will be £37.50 Same as 80 infantry and change.

FR1DAY · « **Reply #91 on:** November 20, 2010, 09:30:24 PM »

I have bitten the bullet and pre-ordered a box from Maelstrom. The sprues are on TMP to see and look great.

Will add 18 to my pike horde, making 46, and a unit of xbows and handgunners. all for £16.20

I need another box of mercenaries and a bill and bow set now

Finlay · « **Reply #92 on:** November 20, 2010, 10:02:44 PM »

they're so nice, I'm definitely getting some.

(my price comment was a sarcastic jab at GW)

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #93 on:** November 21, 2010, 12:03:31 AM »

I like the sprues. It's nice that there's a drummer this time.

And bucklers too. And pavaises.

MiB · « **Reply #94 on:** November 21, 2010, 05:50:42 PM »

Shots of my first bunch of WOTR figures, regiment of 25

18 x pikes with arms
18 x left arms for above
12 x crossbows with arms
6 x left arms for above
12 x handguns with arms
3 x left arms for above
12 x crossbow quivers (3 with windlass and 3 with cranequin attached)
15 x targes/bucklers

It looks like the bodies on the Trooper sprue are the same as in the first WotR set. There seems to be a bit of this happenning in the plastics market - sprues are made in 'sections' which can be combined differently.

This set looks very good, it's not puffy enough to my taste but the actual GW troopers are wearing pyjamas anyway so this time it's a clear win for Perry's minis!

I must resist until I have painted the 80 state troopers sitting on my desk...
