Thistle and Rose - Vendel!
« on: November 17, 2019, 01:18:52 AM »
All,
      I just got my first order from Thistle and Rose of the re-released Vendel Border Reivers.  They are excellent. A little bit of clean up needed, but nothing at all major.  Very happy that Bill Hupp has bought these great figures back.

Any chance of some pictures? I can't see any on the Facebook page.

As a native of Durham who lived in Edinburgh for over a decade I expect that I am duty bound to follow suite!  Playing both sides of the fence of course! ;) :)

Good figures that do yeoman work representing the Border Reviers.  Bought a batch some years ago, and they make-up a good contingent of my 16th century figures.  They size reasonably well alongside Eureka's Portuguese Conquistadors and Foundry's Swashbucklers - a bit chunkier, but not glaringly so.

I like the larger figures and painted a number for a friend for his border Reiner games when they were first released. Lots of character too

Cheers
Matt
