Ah, that's why he seemed familiar. I've seen the one on bottom. All of them should be manufactured, they're really great.

Here are two more. I had a chance to buy these guys once but we couldn't agree on a price. I agree they need to be made, but my understanding is that they never will be.  :eusa_wall: GW has spoken.

Those are about a thousand times better than almost all of the recent ET releases for Fantasy.  At least two thousand times better than the stupid khorne whiphammer dudes.

GW must be mad ... those halflings are the best I've ever seen. Very nice figures, full of character ... almost 'real'.

Just saw this upcoming Westfalia figure at LAF





That one looks pretty nice. Would make for a cool champion mini.

My daughter is watching My Little Pony and one of the characters, Discord, was giving a villainous speech about bringing a "Storm of Chaos."

She's from Westfalia Miniatures. Not sure what the release schedule is. I believe there is a Kickstarter coming up

https://www.facebook.com/Westfaliafantasybattles

The Facebook page seems to get quicker updates & has more pics.

Yesterday I was trying to compile a list of alternate manufacturers for my own reference. This thread is great, but the links are scattered throughout over 100 pages now!

I was thinking maybe if someone (nudge nudge) might update the OP with a full list...? Or is there a better way to organize it?

Given the upcoming changes to and/or death of both WFB and the Empire as we know it, I'm not sure if this whole endeavor becomes more relevant or less relevant.

For what it's worth, below is the very small list I've started based on the requirements that they fantasy figures fitting the popular variants of the Empire aesthetics, or are generally late 15th through 16th century European figures.

Just got my Frostgrave Nickstarter box delivered.

Minis look fabulous - both the metal sculpts and the plastic figures.

The problem will be I cannot do them justice with my painting skills ...........  :engel:

20quid for 20 multi part plastic minis? I call this fair and compared the AoS pricing, it's almost free!

I will definitely get one box of those.

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/
How come no birdmen of catrazza, or galloper guns? or marksmen? is there a separate PDF?

edit: just found it!

do you find the RoR pdf balanced and used as well akbar?
