Gents

A mix of ranges, the Tin Soldier figures paint up surprisingly well!

Very nice!!! I've got a soft spot for Scythians and am trying to amass as many ranges of them as I can find. I passed on some Old Glory the other day, but now you're making me wish I hadn't!

Thanks Fremitus, the Old Glory range is excellent, I really like their nobles with barded horses. My favourite ranges are the Perry Foundry one and the Xyston one for 15mm. A mix of ranges is the way to go.

Nice! I've got a bunch of the Foundry range on order, though since I live over in the Rebel Colonies, there's no telling when I'll ever see them  lol  I'll keep an eye on the eBay for the Old Glory lot, I suppose! Right now other than the Foundry which I'll hopefully see some day, I have 1st Corps and a smattering of older ranges (some Ral Partha and RAFM, I believe). Anyway, I haven't painted any of them yet, but if I can get 'em half as good as yours, I'll be in good shape!

Yes mail order is a tricky proposition nowadays, I have had one recent order that took seven weeks! The 1st Corps range looks nice, I have some of their other ranges. Good luck with collecting and painting your Scythians.

Cracking job on those lads (and ladies). The ranges mix well.

Thanks gents, you can never have too many steppe nomads  :). The back drop is a printed photo I took bushwalking in the Snowy Mts, here in Australia.
