Very nice, but I'd prefer a bigger hat brim.

This is one of those sort of models that keep on popping up and with good reason. It very often makes for a really nice model.

Does anybody know how this would fit in scale-wise with Brigade Game Miniature's King Philip's War Pilgrims (http://www.brigadegames.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=BGAHSL&Product_Code=BG-KPW102&Category_Code=BGKPW)?  I'm guessing he'll be a fair bit chunkier/taller à la Citadel, but any accurate info as to the size of AoW miniatures would be appreciated.

I have one of their Barbarians (the not-Conan) and it fits in well with Reaper and the chunkier miniatures... I'll get a photo up and whack it on the Scale-o-Matic!

Very nice. I'd be interested in how it scales, aswell.

Love it!  :-*

Is it in resin or metal?

I am assuming this has not be released yet, as Avatars of War does not have it in their shop. (I just looked...  :D )

They've been all metal so far. They do have some plastic troop types in the works, but all the hero types, which is what that guy is has been metal thus far.

I like it! But he does need a much bigger hat brim.

Here is the painted version:

I think a wider brim on his hat is in order, but otherwise a nice sculpt.

Agree the hat brim is way too small.   :-X


I still prefer the old Rackham metal Confrontation Darkness Hunters.

And they are much nicer than their new plastic Confrontation Demon Hunters ..... although as these are pre-painted you can just open the box ....

not going forward you can't as they went into administration a few weeks ago I believe,

sad but always on the cards so I am told

good minis and the avatars one is very nice the hat does look a bit odd without a wider brim.

@dodge - RE may have a challenging short/medium future - but you can still (today) find both the Rackham DE plastics and if you have the ££ the DH metals on-line without stretching your Google-Fu.

How long before stock dries up is a different conversation.

I prefer this fellow to the Rackham ones.   Rackham figures always struck me as pretty cartoony, which I am not a big fan of.  I think maybe it is the often-strange legs.

At any rate, I just picked up this fellow, and he looks quite nice in the flesh (well, metal).

Finally put a picture up to compare AoW with mostly GW figs:

You can see it in the Scale-o-matic as well :)
