I'm not convinced by the barbarian, but the general plastic ones look suitably covered in layers of clothing for a 'frosted' winter setting.

It is also some sort of 'composite' picture made up from the greens I posted earlier, so I think I will wait until I have seen the sprues, and maybe some actual 28mm scale figures.

That female (Empire) greatsword from Hasslefree miniatures is now available in metal:

I think the plastics look very nice. I'm normally a huge Copplestone fan, but I'm not as fond of the Fafhrd and Gray Mouser looking metal guys.

Love the Hasslefree figure too. I would like to get one or two if I get a chance.

Looks like Warlord Games are finally getting around to releasing those wonderful Arsenal Miniatures knights of Malta figures, which would make perfect Estalians:

I need an alternative for a GW vermin lord. Any suggestions where I could get one or what I could use to kitbash one?  :unsure:

They seem very expensive or is the price per box?

They are expensive, though to be honest they have always been.  Looks like they have reduced the price a bit though... before the website was up and running you could order them via phone/email and they were about 9GBP each.

Keep in mind that these figures are quite hefty.  The larger, ogre characters are easily 2 if not 3 times the volume of metal as a standard human figure.

That, and this is Foundry... not exactly a discount seller.  But they will have bulk discounts for larger orders.

Yes, that's why the free worldwide postage seemed exciting. Because without that, the cost of getting them here in the US is even more insane.

Bugger !
I paid Ģ9 at the show, so no postage involved at all.

This reminds me of ... Eureka's Spanish and Portuguese conquistador figures.

I prefer the longer standard poles of the older and some of the newer Empire stuff, but those are great pseudo-Estalians if you're desperate to play a DoW army using either the 5th Ed. DoW book, or the fan-made stuff posted over on the WarhammerFantasyBattleReporter forum.

The fanmade DoW-book is wonderful, a really well-balanced thing which I use extensively. I already have enough pike though....ah, 50 more couldn't hurt, but I think that will be the Pro Gloria/Warlord landsknechts. Link to the latest Dow: http://warhammerarmiesproject.blogspot.se/

I really wish they included a date or version number in their PDF files. How do we know if we have the current versions?

You could try saving the file to your Downloads folder and then comparing the two?

By Michael Anderson who is doing the Halflings for that range as well. He also did the Demigrifs for GW.

I've got the resin (pre-release?) halfling and it's awesome. The only reason I haven't painted it up yet is that I'm indecisive about picking which weapon to give him. Looking forward to this whole range.

Yes, the guy in the center. I've got him to, but in my case I suck at painting so he remains grey. The guy on the right is also by Michael Anderson. The one armed metal chap on the left is from our own White Knight's secret empire project.

He was part of a project that Michael tried to get started at GW a number of years ago. There are a few unreleased copies of some of of the sculpts floating around. This one exists in at least four variants. I have seen pictures of two other versions. As far as I know the one above is the only copy in existence. There should also be a fourth version holding the beer stein and some other weapon, but I haven't seen it.

Here are the two variants I have seen. Unfortunately I don't own either, but if anybody does, send me a pm and I'll make you an offer.
