They are on ebay now, have just "won" 2 sets of the aether weapons chaps, quite expensive at £17.75 for six figures and 12 weapons etc, but should make a useful addtion to my chaps.

Ooh, thanks for letting me know Now, was that in the Sir Alec Guiness voice or the Ewan McGregor voice?

Sounded like the much older Sir Alec voice to me.....

To me, they actually look more like they are trying to be GW Praetorian guard...

I'd happily get the Ironclad brits and convert them. I'd also use Wessex Games and Empress miniatures.

Strange...

I spoke to the guy at a show, they are. He was saying that his VSF brits are Praetorian Guard and loads of other people also use them so...

So...

May as well buy the Pratetorians for the same price!

Dewbakuk · « **Reply #35 on:** March 13, 2010, 01:30:41 AM »

More weapon options through these though.

Hmm... Yes.

Still can't understand the pricing. Does it cost him anymore to make these than one part minis?

I'm thinking buy these figures but use West Wing or Ramshackle gasmask heads on them. I like the weapons and the figures have still got the Victorian look.

If I could just buy those weapons I'd do my own conversions - would probably end up looking crap though.

rob_alderman · « **Reply #38 on:** March 13, 2010, 11:32:41 AM »

You can buy the weapons seperately.

Even those are a bit pricey. But I might get the bigger weapons.

Stick them onto the Warlord games plastics, same result I reckon. Then add the ramshacle heads and you have some passable VSF Colonial Brit infantry.

As promised here's a comparison pic. I bought a pack of infantry with assault rifles at WMMS on Sunday. I had a chat with the chaps who run Black Pyramid, nice guys with a fair amount of ideas up their sleeves. Brits in home service helmets and gasmasks is on the list

. Naturally I commented on the steep prices but I dont think they'll be coming down.

Anyway, here's the pic. From left to right: Ironclad, Black Pyramid (held together with Blu-Tak), Redoubt then Perry's. As you can see they're pretty compatible.

I saw them at WMMS. I felt like commenting on the prices, but I wouldn't have bought any.

Something along the lines of: I could buy 24 Germans for £12 or one pack of these 4 Brits for £10!

May as well get Praetorians from GW, sorry.

I like the aether weapons, I might order some seperately though!

Thunderchicken · « **Reply #41 on:** March 23, 2010, 03:54:18 PM »

Agreed, too pricey for me unless the Lottery comes up trumps. Like you I'll be interested in the accessories.

Gluteus Maximus · « **Reply #42 on:** March 23, 2010, 09:08:55 PM »

All four companies seem very close in size and build, which is nice. Thanks for posting the pic!

gamer Mac · « **Reply #43 on:** March 23, 2010, 11:35:50 PM »

Do they come with bases or tabs Neil?

rob_alderman · « **Reply #44 on:** March 24, 2010, 08:27:46 AM »

They come with resin bases I believe.
Which I guess adds to the price, but I'd chuck them aside and base them as normal...
