Wish List for Macedonian Range

[Eumerin]

Hopefully if Warlord releases some of the empires best known for their horsemen - Scythians and Parthians, for instance - then they'll make some plastic horses. At that point, the sheer volume of horses needed to fill out an army pretty much guarantee a decent volume of sales in horse figures.

I am totally with B.D. and S.P. on this one, I understand that there is a huge outlay involved but It would be great to see a few more ranges getting the metals to plastic treatment, like the roman auxiliaries. I have had a box BA Waffen Ss and a box of the British commandos and I think the commandos are better miniatures from almost every perspective.mBut it is always in the eye of the beholder.

I do think some ancients horses could be done fairly generically, have to say the Celtic horsemen have been my least favourite Warlord set yet, and would have preferred implementation more like the ECW cavalry sets, the fixed legs on the horses just don't do it for me at all. And on the horse sizes thing... I think that a medium size generic horse, like the ECW one but perhaps a little smaller would suffice. Most war horses would naturally be the be on the bigger sizes, even if they were 'Celtic ponies' they would have gone for the bigger ones... logic dictates surely.

Nice work on the BA british conversion S.P. Which WF set did the arms come from?

[Suetonius Paullinus]

Blimey
...I think from their Ancient Germans.
Have you seen their WWII Germans in 28mm, they might be useful
for conversion

Yes I saw the previews... it really depends on how many they put in a box. The Warlord games ones work out about 80p-90p per mini, if the WF ones are considerably cheaper I might get some to use as you say, for conversions, and casualties.

What about this plastic resin stuff that Mantic are using? Never seen it in the flesh but it seems to be much cheaper than metals and without the plastic outlay.

They remind me of the 1:32 multi-part plastic kits you can get. The poses look a tad awkward and Action-Man like, but the detail and proportions look lovely.

[Suetonius Paullinus]

True.
But I guess I'll have to see them in the flesh.
As long as heads/ helmets/ weapons are useful for conversions
I shall be happy enough.

Viva la plastic revolucion!

With old fashioned metal counter revoloutionary buyers like me it will be a hard way. Vive la resistence

Don't think so mate...
Metal is for the 'Ewig Gestrigen'!
