I'm getting tempted as more emerge. I think the rank & file from Tiger Minis would bulk out a force nicely.
Cheers,

If we could get some action poses for both the Acehnese and the Dutch and get some separate heads sculpted  we could have more variants we could expand faster then keep going with different poses.Perhaps this would generate more interest.One more thing also is the actual figures look much better in person,

Probably the uniform, at least for the intermediate period (cork helmet), was smillar to the Europeans , but native regular troops (marechaussé) with their big Barong or sabres would be a useful addition

Yes I agree.I was trying to get some Dutch and Acehnese done before we started on specialist units.

thanks for he info..but in another post i read that  those S Barber minis are compatible with Gringo ..while, in fact, Tiger minis are smaller than Gringo miniatures...so which  are the smallest ones between Tiger and S Barber minis?..i would like to field maybe some Ducth regulars VS my Old Glory or Monday Night Productions moros that i already have and that could pass, at least as temporary gap filling, for Acheneese type warriors..even the Chineese minis that S Barber has just put in production could be an interesting addition to Chinese Boxer Rebellion Armies..what about  their compability with for example Old Glory, Foundry ecc..maybe any  comparison picts available?
thanks for your opinion

I just saw this post. Here's a couple of shots. I'm not very good at taking comparison pics but here's a couple of pics with a couple of Gringo 40's ,one of which is based so not a good example. The difference in size is more pronounced in person.

I'm hoping to get some more done early next year but more fighting poses maybe with optional heads. Not a popular range I know but I want to continue if for myself if no one else. :D ;)

Thanks for the additional explanation
so those SB minis seem absolutly compatible with the majority of manufactures at least as concern for those exotic ranges like Aceh/Dutch...in fact majority of my armies are from classic Old Glory, Foundry ecc..by any chance may i ask you please if also the SB Chinese and the 1866 range are similar in size with to those  Dutch or they are quite big like Gringo or Redoubt?....not a problem in case as i mix types ..but just to know in advance before, in case, buying some few...and thanks for having posted  the picts and add the infos Marco those kind of contribution is always welcomed...

Your quite welcome.I would say to ask Shipka about the Chinese as he has been commissioning them and I believe he is getting them made to be compatible with Gringo 40's but I won't swear to it.

Lovely sculpts.  You would probably get more interest with some nicely painted examples,  and maybe a demo game or two.
