Title: GB Dark Age Archers
Post by: Littlearmies on 01 May 2017, 03:51:17 AM

I saw this on the GB website: http://www.grippingbeast.co.uk/SWORDPOINT_Dark_Age_Archers--product--5462.html (ftp://http://www.grippingbeast.co.uk/SWORDPOINT_Dark_Age_Archers--product--5462.html)

30 plastic dark archers. Has anyone seen these? I didn't stop by the GB stand whilst at Salute so i may well have missed them.

There was a thread a little while back on them, seemed that a lot of people didn't really like the sculpts due to various things.

They've been out long enough that I was able to handle a box of them yesterday at the only B & M historical wargame figure stockist in this part of the world. At close to AUD$1.50 per figure I decided that they're just too expensive for plastics.

I think this is the thread SotF is referring to http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=98961.0 (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=98961.0). The remarks were scathing and might have scared anyone off actually buying them and having a real look at the miniatures.

Yep, there's already a thread on these, referenced above.
Didn't realise they were actually out. Would be interested to see the frame/sprue shots.

Anyway, rather than having two threads live on the same topic, I'll close this one. Feel free to continue the conversation in the earlier thread  :)
