I'm buying some of those!

GamesPoet · « **Reply #2726 on:** July 16, 2015, 04:22:01 PM »

Wow! Those look great!

My Averland River Regiment is based in the area just to the west of the Moot, and I hope to have an army to represent the hobbits that live there. These figures are now on the list of items to buy.

Those hobbits are amazing!

I approve of the lack of shoes even on the full plate one. I hate it when people make shod hobbits - they just look like small humans then.

I don't like halflings, but they are very well done indeed. But I found this on their facebook page, which is more to my liking:

someone on their facebook asked the sculptor to put shoes on him, and the sculptor replied

Ha! Excellent.

I definitely want to buy some.

Still no news on the ex-ProGloria plastic Landsknechts. But hey ... it has only been 7 months so far.

Akbar · « **Reply #2732 on:** July 26, 2015, 03:50:11 PM »

To be honest, as much as I want plastic ´knechts, I was not that crazy about the ones Pro Gloria put forth. I´d rather see them remade. On another note I'd really want Warlord to release the spanish cavalry from Arsenal, and somr proper gendarmes.

Frostgrave had a booth at Gen Con in Indianapolis USA, but failed to bring any product aside from rulebooks. No demo. No cool diorama. No sale.

Too bad...
I was really looking forward to see them released.

Not a smooth move, had they and they'd have done better than GW!

20 to a box, for my English compatriots, on North Star that translates to a quid per mini.

Not sure if this one has been posted previously, and their website is in Spanish, but here it is ...

I emailed them a couple of months ago -

Good afternoon Richard.

Thank you for your interest in our models and I am sorry for the delay in answering you.

I'm afraid I don't know of any definite release dates for plastic landsknechts at this time, while I can confirm that we have released most of the metal range, with just a few more models to be released soon.

Our release schedule is constantly changing (and often at short notice) so the best thing to do is to keep watching our Newsletter, Facebook Page, and Website for any further news or information on the models you want.

I'm sorry I couldn't give a more definitive answer at this time - however, I hope to have helped.

Kind regards,

Lorenzo

Which didn't sound amazingly promising! Fingers crossed though.

damn, since pikes are actually a good unit in KOW i am really looking forward to these models. Was this communicated by warlord or pro gloria?

GamesPoet · « **Reply #2741 on:** August 11, 2015, 06:35:06 PM »

And did Pro-Gloria make metal figures?

Lots and lots.

Toro_Blanco · « **Reply #2743 on:** August 11, 2015, 07:38:19 PM »

I'm correct in assuming these units are all the same scale as Warhammer, and thus would be fully compatible with my current forces?

There's some GREAT resources here. I also stared a thread to discuss alternatives and 3D printing which has had some great suggestions come to light. Thread here: http://warhammer-empire.com/theforum/index.php/topic,50955.0.html

Warlord. I had hoped to hear something positive, like we have sent the moulds for tooling but it will be a while. Still will invest if theyare released.

The Red Graf · « **Reply #2745 on:** August 12, 2015, 09:47:15 PM »

I have heard that Warlord has decided that the Pro Gloria plastics are too expensive and that they will only produce a cut down version fewer bodies, fewer heads etc. There were originally ten bodies and thirty heads. A damn shame.

GamesPoet · « **Reply #2746 on:** August 12, 2015, 11:09:43 PM »

I'm wondering why it could be too expensive.

The Red Graf · « **Reply #2747 on:** August 12, 2015, 11:14:25 PM »

My understanding is that the plastic molds are incredibly expensive. That the money that Pro Gloria was requesting in its KS was about a third of what was needed. Apparently every bit adds to the expense.

Darknight · « **Reply #2748 on:** August 12, 2015, 11:25:50 PM »

Plastic models are hella expensive - steel molds, cut by machine, hand rolled by virgins etc. etc.

Surely those can't be hard to find among wargamers?
