...and there's the very bad Wargames Foundry Factory stuff that Warlord are now selling.
I like the the Wargames Factory stuff, The War of the Spanish Succession are fine figures.
It will be interesting to see what Victrix does with the dark ages. Although Gripping Beast's initial release of Hirdmen and Thegns was pretty good at the time, I have to agree that all their subsequent releases have been mediocre. I regard the Arab, Late Roman, and dark ages warrior boxes as lost opportunities. Apparently, they are willing to spend the money to produce the sprue, but aren't interested in spending money or time in a thoughtful design. Evidence to me is that Victrix does put a lot of effort in the design of their plastic boxes.
Thinking ahead, how will Victrix scale up with Footsore and Colin Patten sculpts I wonder?I think Footsore and Patten go well together and own both, so I'm hoping Victrix will fit in fine.
Yep, I'm in the same boat. I've got a warband of Patten/Saxon Normans and I'd like to expand on that but I can't bring myself to accept Conquest as a viable option. How do the Victrix minis scale in general?
I have their Macedonians. Compared with Warlords and Aventine Macedonians, they are big 28s.
Compared to Warlord Games metal or plastic Macedonians? I only have the Victrix plastic Greek hoplites, but those mix in very well with Warlord's plastic Macedonians.I have only built figures from their ancient Greek line (armoured/unarmoured hoplites, skirmishers w javelins/slings/bows) which are all from the same range and period of production, so I don't know how they might vary. (With digital sculpts I'd imagine they're pretty consistent.)They're slightly less bulky than the Warlord figures though, and also mix in rather well with Perry Agincourt plastics to give another comparision (though again, I can speak only for the aforementioned Greeks.)
