mutineer miniatures first figures
« on: October 25, 2009, 11:49:23 PM »
Well after my casting company going AWOL,postal strikes, Swine Flu, I have finally arrived at my long awaited dream my first manufactured figures. in all their glory, they are super  of course I would say that. Mike has done a great job getting that campaign rugged feel.   Still a few weeks to go to get all the packs together for the big launch,   V will be receiving a little package soon to get his brush skills to work on these chaps.I hope to be selling in bulk from the TARGE show certainly by Warfare I will have a good range of infantry, next to come Mutineer Sepoy's, naval Brigade, command packs, Sikh infantry and Gurkha's

Thank you for sharing and good luck with the Indian Mutiny range.

I've been checking this site and your web page daily, waiting to catch a glimpse of these guys.

Well done - they are real beauties - well worth the wait!  :-*

Congratulations and good luck with your range - I hope there is a lot more to come.

These look good.   :)

As I don't paint vast numbers of figures think I'll look out for officer packs.  Unless you intend to sell some sample packs?

I did notice that all the codes and packs had disappeared off your website - I wondered what had gone wrong! (Everything that could have gone wrong by the sound of things... )

Roll on the native forces! Can't wait  :)

Once I have the figures packs sorted, I will put each onto the website, that way I avoid any confusion about what is and is not available

I've just noticed this and must admit to being previously unaware of your company.

Those figures are very good indeed and really capture the period feel of the Mutiny.

My second real "big" colonial game [first was Zulu War] was when I was part of the Victorian Military Society's various demo games in the 90's. We did a Siege of Delhi game at several shows using Foundry figures with the POW rules and John French's superb scratch-built terrain and buildings. It was great fun and I've loved the Mutiny ever since.

I'm very, very tempted to start building up my own forces after seeing these figures.

Best wishes for a lot of success with this venture!

Nice figures! I would like to see how they compare to the old Foundry Mutiny range by the Perrys.

Personally I hope they compare very badly. Those old Foundry ones are tiny midgets and I want some to use with bigger, more modern figures.

Definitely correct, Plynkes, but if you have a large collection of those midgets like me ... :(
Should be too late to sell them now to grab the new treasures  :?

Hi

i don't have any foundry IM figs and at £8 postage for one pack, I have no intention of getting any but if someone has a spare fig lying around send it to me I photograph them together and send it back to them unharmed ;D.

  I set out with the intention of making this my flagship range with the main theme of accuracy, and character, the range will build to be more extensive than foundry, but the main difference is the individual character of each figure rather than rows of uniformity.  If the foundry are midgets then mine will be slightly larger as they are similar to artizan, Gripping beast, BTD etc although they don't have the BTD skinny legs lol lol lol

pm me for my address use the address on the web if anyone wants to take part in the comparison trial. I would photograph them with a ruler backdrop for scale height.
