Received my personality figures yesterday. Couldn't be happier with them.Hope we get Frederick Funston,Shafter,Leonard Wood and Pershing down the line.Great range if you want more than 5 or 6 poses.

I don't paint so when I got my Spanish troops painted I was left with the choice of stripes or no stripes.Since I had read articles by painters stating that you really couldn't see the stripes on the uniform very well even on a full size human let alone a 28mm figure so I decided not to get them with stripes.It didn't hurt that the figures were half of the cost of what they would have been had I had them striped.Tell me what you guys and girls think of them.

Another case of great looking sculpts luring me into an conflict I've had little knowledge & interest for.
But that is going to change now :D 

Love that they added prone figures too. Plenty of character, great sculpts!

I really like the painting on your Spanish.
I have a good number of these figures.
Have been setting on them as I can not decide
to stripe them or not.
Having a look at your figures has helped me to,
(drum roll please) ;) not to paint the stripes on the uniforms.

Thanks everyone who likes my figures.Of course I can't take credit for them. I've seen some very well painted figures with the stripes and to be honest they are more historically accurate with them but like I said in proportion to the size of the figures the stripes would be very very thin.So paint them or not it's all good. lol lol lol :D Now I'm going to package some off to be painted.I think it will be some Rough Riders this time. :D

Very nice looking painted collection. Are you collecting all belligerents?

Cheers,

I like that they are doing a extensive range.I'm not a wargamer so all the different poses suit me,especially for the warfare practiced in the late 19th cen..My plans are to make some small vignettes/dioramas when I retire (about 2 years hopefully) so in the end I might not use all of them but this way I will have everything I need.I also collect Gringo40s Tonkin and also Dahomey when it comes,I have a Force Publique collection for a King Kong dio ( I love the King  :-* ) I have Oniria's Old West sets I have a beautiful FIW vignette  painted by Angel (Oniria) (pictured below).I would have loved to collect the Blood & Plunder range but funds are limited. I have commissioned a few figures for the Aceh War (1873-1914) in the Dutch East Indies and hope to do more.I am very high on collecting a range on Yermak's Conquest of Siberia in the 1580's.I also supported a FIW kickstarter done by Sash & Saber and should be getting about 200 (whew!) figures by the beginning of next year. Oh yeah the Flint & Feather range.There are so many great things going on I'm probably going to have to let some go but I just can't help myself,I am addicted!
