(Commercial) Re-releasing the old Fantasy Forge Celts.

I'm re-releasing over the next couple of weeks the old Celt range made back in the 1990's by Fantasy Forge. The moulds have been hidden away for many years, but we're going to get them spinning again next week.
It's only a small range, we won't be adding to it.
It was originally planned as a Slaine range, so the figures (designed by Roy Eastland) have a Bisley look to them.
Keep an eye on the North Star site, we'll announce the release there.

Oh heck.
Any chance they'll be at Partizan?

Cheers Nick,
I'll be dropping stuff off for my own ranges. But every now and again it's nice to paint something by someone else.
I had them first time round . But life and time have made them disappear .

Dang, that's great news.
I've got the characters already up in your store plus the Fomorians and am looking forward to those new releases. A bit of a pity that the poses are so samey (the reason I sold my original lot many years ago), but I guess these days I'll be up for converting some for more variety.

Yeah, the poses were very much Roy Eastland and Fantasy Forges style back then, you love it or leave it don't you. Back in the day I wasn't keen till I started painting and basing them and saw the 'shieldwall' effect you could get with them.

I don't recall those as I was away from the hobby during those years, but the sculpts hold up remarkably well, what they lack in current dynamism they make up in clean sculpting and unique character.

Dagnammit.
I really don't need more figures, but these are lovely.
Like some others, I had these first time around and got shot of them maybe 15 years ago.

There's a pre-release deal for these on the North Star website now.

I remember a certain Edinburgh toy shop owner being massively scathing about these when they came out. I feel they have a certain charm.

They are strangely charming, and definitely capture the vibe of Simon Bisley’s Frazetta-like characters from the graphic novels. I really do like those.

Slaine?
No, the mould was destroyed for that figure many moons ago, I know, I did it.
I've got one still in it's Fantasy Forge blister pack. I wasn't saving it as a collectors piece, it just got put in a box and I forgot about it for years. Then when I found it, it seemed a shame to break it open. (Till I want it painted of course).
The commander of this set is a straight head swop of course
