Take note their late 17th century figures are on the large side on a par with Front Rank not sure if these are the same though.
-
No, these are smaller than the late 17th/early 18th century figures.
-
Very interesting. One to watch ;)

Just checked and the Reiver Castings website now has the updated lists for releases at Salute, VBCW, Early World War One Germans and Anglo-Irish Wars.

They look ok these, i shall have to remember to have a look at triples
-
Looking forward to seeing the mounted BUF, milita and Cops :)
-
Well it's certainly an extensive range of releases, particularly in one go too. :)
-
There are a few pics of the first release in this range on my site here (http://miniaturegaming.co.cc/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=11:militants&catid=6:inter-war&Itemid=8).

One of the Gents in the club has painted some of the New Model Red Army which have turned out very nice but I can't seem to get the pictures loaded up. I'll keep trying.

where?

Click on the word "here".

they dont seem to be very good looking judging by your pictures.. cheap though..

Have seen the early releases in the lead, and in a one-word summary:
DISAPPOINTING
:(
Not helped by them being covered in white paint, presumably liberally applied with a decorators roller, but the detail wasn't great.
Most disappointing feature was the rifles were tiny compared to the figures, and other ranges - a real shame, as it would be good to have other ranges to work with. Perhaps the new releases have corrected this, but I wouldn't buy them without seeing them "in the lead" first.
Personally, i'd strongly recommend the following for VBCW:
Musketeer
Empress (Anglian miniatures SCW range)
Great War Miniatures
Artizan
Pulp
Gripping Beast - their head sets are very very useful for conversions.
Copplestone
even some Renegade will fit in.
-
What I suspected from the images. A pity, since the catalogue was pretty interesting.

Don't get me wrong, its great to see other companies producing figures - and maybe the quality has improved, on the newer sculpts (?) - its just that there are far better out there than the first ones they produced.
Can't recommend enough getting the Gripping Beast head sprues, and doing some simple conversion - a pin vice drill will cost £3 from most model shops. Even a different paint job, makes a whole raft of figures usable for VBCW - just needs a little imagination.
