They are taking pre-orders for them now - I am considering ordering some in December. They will fit very nicely in my new army.

Bad move WK

My Paypal refund for non-delivered Maelstrom stuff is funds already allocated for gaming - I had planned to do an order for halflings and dwarfs ........... but if you start promoting other stuff ......... well who knows.

Yeah, but it's only one resin model, surely you'd much rather have a bunch of metal you can build into units instead?  :closed-eyes:

Those Perry plastics. I was a little confused by their description. It said things like "up to 12" and whatnot.

How many dudes can you make from one box? Is looks like a lot but I want to be sure...

Which ones? I think you get 40 infantry.

Yes, they are!

Because there's a limited number of each weapon option. So for example with the european mercenaries, you can't make more than 12 of the 40 guys into handgunners.

Just looking at the Pro Gloria facebook site:

Some nice greens for their rank and file landsknechts! 





Not in production yet, but when they are it will be even more nice alternatives to the pyjama-clad shoeless empire soldier  :engel:

You get, as people have said, 40 models, and you can assemble them in various different ways - such as up to 20 spearmen, up to 12 crossbowmen and up to 15 halberds with a command group. Obviously, that adds up to more than the 40, but it is because you have lots of spare arms. You have (for example) 12 sets of crossbow arms but don't need to use 'em all.

After a slightly tipsy search, it seems that I can not find a comparison of essex halfing miniatures to GW halfing miniatures on this forum, anyone have a picture or know how similar they are in size? I know essex is 25mm and GW is 28mm, but we all know that is kind of crap these days.
Don't underestimate a halfling, their ladle will do a number on your stomach, and on your head.

(Already posted this on the WGF thread, but this is "another manufacturer's" stuff!)

The new WSS artillery is available. Click for picy

$20 for two cannons, each with four infantry crew, a mounted officer and a whole bunch of bits.

I fear we will be seeing a fair number of these in Empire armies!

Anyone who likes Kev Adams orc sculpts, head over to Foundrys webpage! They are still working on the restoration of their discontinued packs, and any range who gets the most votes (as in emails) will be put back on sale next. Support the Renaissance Orcs/Ogres!

They did have the rest of their ogres/orcs on the website a couple months ago.  I went to place an order a few weeks ago, and they were taken down again.

I inquired about this, and was told they are re-doing the casting molds because they were not arranged properly (ie random historical models on the same mold as the orcs).  Marcus informed me that they should be finished, and will be put up in a couple months, likely when Foundry releases their new website.

I know WK was able to snag the available ones before they were taken down again though, sneaky git  :biggriin:

Oh, I got most of them, too. Well, as long as they are put back on, I think it´s a good thing if they take some time to get it right.

Yeah, but then the guy is a loon who needs to resort to having his own range of figures made, just to get his fix.

Reaper just released a whole bunch of the Bones figures - very inexpensive, indeed.
