Starting RN crew
« on: 20 October 2011, 10:16:54 PM »
I have made a start on my RN crew for LotHS, first figs finished:



The figures are from Brigadegames Caribbean Empires range

Yes, I've been looking at these figures. They look very nice with bags of character. How do you like them? Good to paint?

@ Captain Blood - yes the figures were good.

Detailing was crisp, with minimal mould lines or flash. They are comparable with the Foundry pirate figures that I have, although perhaps ever so slightly smaller and slighter of build.

Only shame is these are all they have at present, so I'll have to bulk out my crew with figures from other ranges - probably Foundry's RN napoleonic boarding party.
Plus some suitable figs for Marines...

regards
Scott

Very nice  :o
I'll be heading straight to the Brigadegames site after this post.

Cheers.
