The Warlord Conundrum

You shouldn´t have said that! Now I can hear the US nerdy fanboys groveling on the floor, wheezing their lungs out... ::

This, believe it or not, was actually one of my concerns with the Bronze Age line. Running a game at a con and having Dejah Thoris all exposed like God and Edgar Rice Burroughs intended her to be.

The drooling lechers are worse than the moral scolds. "Hurr hurr boobies! Hurr hurr hurr. Boy, I'll bet you had a good time painting them! Hurr hurr." The closest those guys will ever get to a real woman is a sweaty palmprint on a computer screen. Or possibly a restraining order.

Bronze Age "Dead Earth Imperials" and Parroom "Renegades" would me my choice.

But the only thing I'll certainly buy myself are the harem girls (damn, my harem is growing too big... nevermind) and the pirate girls!

I hope I've helped sell 'em, cause this is a great company, and the prices are excellent as well as the service.

The greek dude is shiny!  :love:

I had a look through the Bronze Age site, and a lot of what I assume are earlier figures (some of the fantasy and Sci Fi figures) didn't really look very good - is this just the photography, or simply the process of improved sculpting?

I don't like the harem, because the face is all the same, and, frankly, the depiction of silicone in lead does nothing for me  ::  H

They're bad sculpted. The gladiator's "hand" is just a little ball with 3 grooves.

I think they're just painted very dull. This guy has too little different colours.

I know the guy has some old sculpts. I've seen him mention that he is in the process of resculpting some old models.

I agree all the faces look the same on his models, but to me that is a small pick. The green martians are just phenominal and most of the Dead Earthers are really good too.

There is an attempt there to paint them all as Martian red people, without the eclectic racial collection of a fine earth harem.  Besides, to us, all aliens would look the same, so the degree of variation in the face actually is good simulation of how Martian red women would look to us, if we looked at the faces.   :wink:

But this is no different from Sandra Garrity scupts for Reaper.  If you look through all the Reaper women done by S. Garrity with the same face and big hair.  Likewise the scupts by the late great Dennis Mize for Reaper.  The bodies and faces look like the same amazing female.  That's another reason why Mo should get both the Parroom Station and Bronze Age Minis.

Speaking of Bronze Age Minis, the new "Dead Earth Warrior Women" are out, with a special price until November 11.

I ordered, and received 3 of the Wastland Warriors (aka Tharks) and a giant white ape from Bronze Age. The sculpts are really nice and I started painting on them last night. I never warmed to Bronze Age humans though, so I put my Tharks next to some of Nazrat's Parroom station humans. Nice fit. Makes the Tharks look massive, which they should.

So i'll be picking up some heroic human figures from Parroom very soon to round out my Warlord of Mars experience. Looking forward to running some games with them.
