Hey hang on wasn't it: "Just going to do a few marauder-style dwarfs"

Guess I didn't realise how addictive it would be once I realised the possibility for every miniature I could possibly dream up to be called into existence was at my fingertips.

Any reviews on Warlord's ECW/TYW minis? They look to be pretty well made, but I'm looking forward to hearing from someone who actually owns some of the models.

I've never dabbled in historicals before, but I'm really interested in some for a diorama!

Shameless bump...

Well, because you bumped...



Size-wise they fit with the Perry figures. Poses are limited as the left arm is one-piece with the torso. There are enough weapon options though.

Nice pistoliers Arjunstc. :::cheers::: Warlord games make excelent figs.

Quote from: White Knight on March 03, 2014, 11:05:07 AM
While I might entertain the idea to look if they can be released without arms, I would definitely do full versions too, as I want them to have full plate armour, including on the arms.

They would probably reflect the various knightly orders I've created for my dwarf range. Some human foot knights of the White Boar, Great Bear, Raven could be tasty.

What would then be the selling price of one figure ? Or a set of 20?

I'll have to decide that once I have a full view of the costs. Probably more expensive than the Perry ones though. Though they'll be metal and a closer match to the 90s classics in size and style.

As I have pretty much given up my hope for GW to ever produce really interesting minis again, I'm very interested. If your sculptor really manages to capture the sytle of GW from the 90s (Perry Twins!), then I'll be all over this! Have you considered some kind of crowd funding project to cover the costs early on?

PS.: I just hope the minis will have more realistic proportions than the Marauder Reiksguard knights for example (e.g. huge feet, hands and heads).

Good! And you already mentioned you want to give them full plate armour - that's what I disliked a bit about some of those old perry sculpts: the unprotected legs, feet and buttocks ( :roll:).

reaper minis have pictures of "murder of crows" "extra crows" but not "a lot of crows"

how am I meant to know which crows to buy if I cant compare "a lot of crows" with "murder of crows"?

how many crows is a lot?
how are they arrayed?

A murder of crows is precisely two more crows Than a lot of crows.

I bought some of their 28mm WW2 Germans on sale 35% off middle of January and they came by middle of February, which I hear is normal for them currently.  My disappointment was when I bought a squad of the grenadiers (12 figures), I got 3 duplicates instead of all being different.  Going to follow that up with them and see what they say.
I have a suspicion that, despite 'head office' being in Texas, all the casting is don ein the UK, so you americans may have the extra time for transatlantic travel.
I have the same suspicion.

Interestingly, they sell their squads of Germans in groups of 10 figures, so the 12 figures I rec'd were 2 extras.  Guess saying something to them about the duplicates might be more than I should've.  Oh well, didn't get a reply back either.  Such is life.  However, I do like what was received, and at some point need to get around to painting them.  Got a chance this past weekend to play the new Two Fat Lardie rules called "Chain of Command" and that was fun.  But now I'm digressing off the figures ... lol.

I recently purchased some of their 30YW Imperials.  I'm done constructing them and getting ready to start the painting soon.
