North Star stocking the Brigade Games Miniatures American West range

[Arthur]

BG have also just released a pack of Pinkertons which does not appear on the North Star list :

Ooh, I like those. Unfortunately the last thing I got Nick to order for me from Brigade took almost two years to arrive...

[Arthur]

I'd ask Nick anyway : there's a reasonable chance North Star got these with the rest of the American West range but did not have the time to put them up on the website because they're brand new.

They are terrific, another set for the wants list

Is he keeping stock in the UK then, or passing the orders through?

[discok3]

Them thar mighty fine Pinkertons...think I might get me sum

Keeping stock, I think there was an issue with Brigade making enough to send to trade customers, as stock has arrived now, hopefully it's been resolved.

I wasn't hugely impressed with my Bushwackers but they're not awful.  It's definitely a decent range to add.

That's a shame, they look ok in the photo, what was the main issue? 'Not awful' doesn't really sell them to me!

The last thing I ordered direct from Lon at BG took 8 days to arrive, Transatlantic 

Love those Pinkertons.

I have the bushwhackers already. Personally I like them. They are quite simple figures though.

Yep, I've never had trouble ordering direct. The only reason Nick ordered it for me was because he was doing his stock order at the time and I wasn't in a rush. Some of that stock has now arrived.

I will second that. top service and speed from Lon

The problem might be the shipping costs and the strict taxation. I would guess this is cutting into his budget too....

It's probably just me.  The sculpts were a little "meh".  Soft on the detail, not very crisp lines, not many raised details.  They have great character, but they're not nearly as fun to paint as Foundry or Black Scorpion.  Now if you're a kick arse painter...they're plenty good.  I think Captain Blood had some in his post recently which looked amazing.  But for an amateur painter who relies on details and crisp sculpts to really succeed with a miniature - they're not as nice as my other figures.
