Title: War and Empire iii Kickstarter
Post by: Jagannath on 03 February 2018, 12:58:38 PM: For those interested the latest forged in Battle/west wind Kickstarter for the expansion of their ancients through to dark ages range is up.

Beautiful minis - I've painted quite a chunk from the earlier ranges.

I'm going pretty heftily in to this one, at least I know what I'm painting in 2019!

Sorry, right you are - your vikings do look pretty.

The kickstarter's just passed the VERY EXCITING £27.5k mark... Arabs inbound!

I would certainly agree, though Splintered Lights also comes to mind. They seem rather big, but have some nice characters.

Oh yes, I didn’t remember just how many codes you have.

I'm backing this to get hold of the arabs and the sudanese, but I'm upping it a chunk to get hold of a whole dark ages set too. Guess I know what I'm working on next year!

On the Campaign page they said they will stop at Malazgirt so maybe they will do Turks? The Arabs look great!

Although I don't have the figures, from the pictures on their website the clibanarii appear to be mostly based on the Khosrau II momument.

Haha well, controversially I think there's a good chance I might use them as intended... I feel a 2019 Saxons vs. Vikings project forming!!
