(Commercial) New Ice Warriors in 15mm from Copplestone.

[Commander Roj]

Command? Pretty sure it's coming soon, along with the Pict command.

Good news!

[AKULA]

Not enough time in the day basically. He isn't a 30 something sculpting powerhouse with 20 20 vision and not a care in the world anymore.

The ability to just knock up a 28mm range isn't there anymore.

Understandable, but a real shame. I’d happily trade a kidney for this range but in 28mm.

A lackey?

Many have tried to walk in the mans footsteps but they just can't manage it.

[area23]

Really nice. From were does Mr. C. intends these guys are from? Thule? the sinking lands (netherlands!)? Northland?
Not that it really matters but I like that map.

Wahoooooo!

Brilliant and with a great Bronze Age feeling. I love them! Will they also get heroes? And command?

Reading is very much overrated in our society! 

Good news then. It seems I was a bit overexcited when I saw them.

As people are always looking for his old Grenadier barbarians  or figures to match them, why doesn't he do these and the 15mm barbarians in 28mm?

Besides the reasons that Nick gave, maybe also:

1.) the old Grenadier barbarians (or at least most of them) are still available from eM4 and Mirliton, and those sculpts have stood the test of time very well (I think the oldest ones date back to 1991 or so)

2.) Sometimes sculptors just like to move on and do something new (even if it is just sculpting in a different scale)

Sculpting is an creative process, and thus requires plenty of inspiration and motivation, and to maintain that may require moving from a topic to another - sometimes this leads to rather obscure releases when a sculptor gets inspired by something odd, at other times it may lead to ranges left incomplete as the sculptor just loses the inspiration.

While I would not mind seeing Mr. Copplestone sculpting more 28 mm barbarians (which I would likely purchase), I think it is more important that he keeps on sculpting subjects that will help to maintain his own interest and productivity.

Is it wrong that after waiting so long for additions to this range I find myself hanging back? Just feel I want to buy a whole force and not be stung again like the Picts.

[Captain Blood]

Not really 
Nick suggests command is likely to be coming soon, so I too am waiting for the lot to be available before ordering, rather than going piecemeal now.

[Jagannath]

Yeah me too - though I’d push came to shove I think I’d be more confident converting a commander and standard for the ice guys than the picts. Easier to match the clothing style and tweak the poses than on the picts. Still - command would be very welcome!

[DivisMal]

The same here. I lost my motivation when the picts were never finished, too. Should these now be completed and another faction quickly follow...well...I still consider these the best 15mm ever made

[swiftnick]

They are incredible figures and a must buy. But must admit I feel a bit disheartened. Could be spending more time and money on ranges that would never be finished.
