Pro Gloria Miniatures rumours....there might be a kickstarter for a Landsknecht plastic box coming up.....now that would be rather sweetish

About time someone did this, and from what I've seen, Pro Gloria would be ideal.

Here is a rumoured sketch of the cover box

Also rather nice a painting tutorial on their site.

Thanks for the link, and thanks to google translate for helping me understand german!

Alas, it is but a rumour so far. They could also be making a ruleset for their figures? Plastics would be ace, though.

White Knight · « **Reply #2030 on:** August 02, 2013, 07:52:55 AM »

So someone found a piece of art for Pro Gloria that has the word "cover" on it and extrapolated that into possibly meaning a plastic box set through crowdfunding. Does seem like a big leap. Could just as well be a boxed set of the metals (which are gorgeous anyway and you should all get them).

Goodn't agree more WK.
Now that the chiropractor is working on my bad back ( so that I can paint) I'm painting up the two hander from the stationary pike command ,one of the best landsknecht figures ever.( those that know me know I have just one or two

)

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #2032 on:** August 03, 2013, 12:55:40 AM »

Got them...hence I am so excited.

Hmmm how about this guy as my second witch hunter

I have finished most of my GW terrain, and have been looking for normal buildings etc. too boost my collection. They need to be similar to the GW pieces like the Skullvane Manse, Fortified Manor and so on. I like the Tabletop World ones but there is something about those that just do not click right with me (some pieces do but not the majority) and the Pardulon seems too basic for my taste (and small). So I bought stuff from Stronghold Terrain instead (I saw some pictures from a gaming site that had these amongst GW minis and they looked ace) but I have yet to receive the order.

My question - are there other similar terrain suppliers out there that has the same style?

Duskfire · « **Reply #2036 on:** August 05, 2013, 05:30:29 PM »

Anyone have any experience with Lead Adventures? Really looking at getting their Cannon Death Bell.

Akbar · « **Reply #2037 on:** August 05, 2013, 06:32:37 PM »

I have. They are great. Wonderful models (pricey though), quick and reliable delivery. Perfect scale. Might look a tad bit comicy compared to standard GW models, some might think.

Timbor · « **Reply #2038 on:** August 05, 2013, 08:06:52 PM »

Ditto, excellent service and product. Some of the best metal fantasy humans on the market, IMO. I am painting up some of their halberdiers right now.

Uryens de Crux · « **Reply #2039 on:** August 06, 2013, 04:11:19 PM »

Best models in the marketplace are Lead Adventure IMO

Size comparison Pro Gloria and Empire Flagellant

Also comparison between pro gloria left and artizan

It is a change you are not into dressing in landsknecht style, Shadowlord. Then at least I could supply you with a proper dress worthy of an Empire general. Like tellerbarette, large codpiece etc.

large codpiece etc.

It will be like a marble in a bucket.

Those Pro-Gloria pikemen are certainly on my long-term buy list....just fantastic stuff! I for one would not be as excited about plastic...I just don't like the stuff....plus I have so much metal puff and slash to deal with already the idea of adding a couple of boxes of plastic makes me want to cry...so I'll stick to the metal ones for now.

I also agree the LAM minis are some of the best going right now....the detail that ratnik achieves in his sculpting is truly amazing.

I look forward to seeing yours soon Timbor!

Cheers,

Blue

YYEEAHHHHHHH!

Here is another preview of our cover art - it's an A3 picture but scanned two times with an A4 scanner so please forgive me the scanner line in the middle of the picture. Peter Dennis is almost finished with the picture and yes, for everyone who guessed it will be the cover of our plastic Landsknecht box - you are right!

I can't give many details of the box but just some now:

- sculpting work will be done by the talented sculptor Paul Hicks
- tooling company will be Renedra Ltd in the UK
- no release date yet, but we aim to release them around Christmas
- the box will be a kickstarter with many kickstarter-only models, and many other special miniatures
- out of the box you can build 24 Landsknechte, either useable as German, Swiss, Italian or French.

Also, Blue, I will try and get some pictures of something you will like this weekend.

Shadowlord · « **Reply #2045 on:** August 09, 2013, 09:12:52 PM »

Please let them have the same size as GW's Goldswords.

I want moar plastics and do not have the stamina to convert more state troopers.

Good find!

Meh. I guess if that's what it takes. I'm not a big kickstarter fan, but I might make an exception for this.

The fact that the plastic set is actually happening is, of course, good news.

GamesPoet · « **Reply #2048 on:** August 10, 2013, 11:42:50 AM »

The art work looks promising. Hicks being the sculpture increases the anticipation.

DariusZero · « **Reply #2049 on:** August 10, 2013, 02:44:40 PM »

Hopefully they will be the same size and style as GW greatswords, .........and preferably cheaper.
