I just want a decent release for some opponents for my northlanders.

Some not-Roman infantry and cavalry with command would do it.  ;)

Fantastic paint work on great sculpts, I have been trying to resist buying any of these but my resolve is weakening when I see paint jobs like these.

The painting and basing skills in this thread are making me doubt my work so far. Outstanding!!

Hopefully, he will be motivated to continue the range...

I love the barbarians (great sculpts) and 15/18mm.

I would have bought some a long time ago, but it seems pointless for me without an enemy. I was hoping for something like fantasy Romans, but since nothing appeared, lost interest quite some time ago.

Still hoping though...

Well there are two types of barbarians. Beardies and cleanshaven (cimmeriand?).
Then there are giants,picts and dwarfs.
But yes you are right we are all longing for Frazetta inspired Romans.

Since the models habe become available that is the biggest factor against buying them for most of my friends!

At least three were totally excited after we played a game with my collection, but then they saw the homepage and saw only barbarians and (incomplete) picts and dwarfs!

Give the latter two command, heroes and in the case of dwarves archers and this changes. Then some Fantasy Romans and suddenly the minis become VASTLY more attractive for the average buyer!

The Copplestone 15mm figures fit well together with other companies making larger 15mm miniatures such as Eureka 18mm fantasy or Magister Militums Blood Dawn series.
As for romans, Blue Moon Manufacturing  (https://www.bluemoonmanufacturing.com/index.php?cat_id=96)  are also 17mm and make republican and imperial romans that fit perfectly with Copplestone's. The miniatures are beautiful (especially the horses) and it is probably not difficult to find a few fantasy elemants to add to them.
I have used the Blue Moon miniatures as early Rohan and the Copplestone barbarians as Forodwaith tribes - http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=83555.0

 Just had this reply from Mark Copplestone.

 
 I do have plans to expand the 15mm range and in fact I`m just about to announce some plans that will affect this.  To hear more you should really join our mailing list:

http://www.copplestonecastings.co.uk/maillist.php

There will be Romans and more Picts , but the first releases will be a pack of Ice Tribe Warriors (like GoTs Wildlings) and an Ice Giant.

 This sounds great to me ;).Should make others happy to hear too.

Brilliant. That's a bit of a result.

I'm going to start saving so I can support all the new releases when they arrive!  :D
