Title: New 15mm Frost Giant
Post by: nicknorthstar on February 11, 2019, 01:10:44 PM: I don't think I've shown this off yet on LAF.

It's a Frost Giant from Mark Copplestone for his 15mm Barbarica range. He's also promised to do some new figures, the Ice Warriors, to go with it. I'll post pictures here as soon as they arrive.

Please more!

And while the great man is at it: we still need the pictish heroes!

Post by: Bloggard on February 11, 2019, 11:09:30 PM: that giant's a delight. Straight out of the best kind of Mythic / folkloric illustration.

Title: Re: New 15mm Frost Giant
Post by: swiftnick on February 12, 2019, 01:31:45 AM: Let's not scare him off! We suddenly have new figures being added to the range after so long. Just enjoy it while it lasts.

Post by: nicknorthstar on February 12, 2019, 10:41:25 AM: I'd forget about the Romans. That plan was a very long time ago, and I can't see them being made.

But I think you will see the Pict Command, and more Ice Warriors.

Wahoo! Now that is something to look forward to.

Post by: Duncan McDane on February 12, 2019, 12:51:52 PM: Nice one indeed. Depending on the size it could be a nice barbarian halfbreed caveogre or some brutish arena fighter. Will get thisd one for sure :).

Post by: Wellington Bonaparte on February 12, 2019, 03:52:56 PM: How tall is he and are any of the figures he's shown against 28mm?I love the look of him for my GOT armies.

Post by: nicknorthstar on February 12, 2019, 03:53:41 PM: The African on the left is 28mm.

Disappointing.

Not so disappointing :)

I really wanted to build a large force of Romans to oppose my Northlanders (96 pts HoTT), and their Dwarven allies (24pts, still to buy). Oh well, I just ordered the Giant this morning, along with the last needed pack of Northlander cavalry. I'll now have to wait for the Ice Warriors and work out a small force (48 pts) with them, the Giant(s) and Frost Trolls. What packs are planned for the Ice Warriors?

Thanks Nick :)

That's a shame. Oh well, as others have said, just getting new figures for this range is good news.

Title: Re: New 15mm Frost Giant
Post by: nicknorthstar on February 15, 2019, 03:34:38 PM: No. I took a rubbish picture on my phone, and then stuck the figures between 2 bits of rubber.

Should have good piccies soon.
