Eureka 28mm F&IW Highlanders - lovely.

Pricey stuff there mate. I can't believe how much infantry is from Fighting 15's.

[Aaron]

Glad you like them SI. Eureka are a bit on the pricey side in the states too, but worth it IMO.

Is there a link for this guy, I don't know this company....probably working nights when it was mentioned

The trick is to not look for the them and they will reappear almost immediately

With postage, worked out at just over £22 for 12 (3 x packs of 4) so call that £1.80 each.  I have also just payed nearly £11 including postage for 6 Conquest miniatures, which also works out at about £1.80 each.  Both are cast overseas from the UK, Eureka in Australia and Conquest in the USA, which I guess will have driven the pricing. So expensive, yes, but I very much doubt that there's 'excess' profit in it for the UK distributors: I just consider myself fortunate that I was able to get hold of them!   

PS: And Aaron, your recommendation (and others') was spot on! 

[rob_the_robgoblin]

I guess you're right. If I couldn't get them at all, I'd moan about that. And I moan now because I have to pay a premium.

In a perfect world, they'd cast them here as well, but that I imagine, is impossible!

I am looking forward to an order from Fighting 15s, containing some German (prussian) Rocket troops (couldn't afford 10 of the clockwork ones, maybe a 'special' buy at Salute) and some (5) Krieghosen (get another 5 at Salute). I also got Hieronymous Pratt and his Audio Hat and Darwin. Pratt will be in my Prussian Army and Darwin in my British one. The Brits will use a mixture of Science and Alien creatures... I'd have him there as a biologist, recording and analysing alien creatures.

I guess!  Anyways, Fighting 15s will give you excellent service - prompt and reliable. 

[rob_the_robgoblin]

They seem like nice guys. I try to email a company if I like their stuff to test the water.
Best reaction has always been Alternative armies. You usally get a reply the next day, it's always happy and they spend time answering the emails. Even better when you ring them.

I just ordered some stuff from F15's, so I'm hoping they come soon!

Yesterday received Black Scorpion's Bromhead figure, plus my second set of Hinterlands' Female Victorian Hussars.
Today a parcel from West Wind containing their excellent "Vampire Wars" London Bobbies and German Pickelhaube Helmet & Gas Mask heads for VSF Prussian conversions.
Still no sign of my order for Renegade's early WWI Prussians and French, 

[rob_the_robgoblin]

The renegade orders seem to be a bit slow at the mo.

The west wind pickelhaub heads are tiny!!! I wanted them on my renegade germans, but no way!!!

The vampire wars line is great for mobs of blokes. I'm gathering the thugs on London to join the anarchist fist!
I'll have to order some of those Hinterlands lassies, perhaps with my next paycheck after salute.

Time to eat my words, 
My Renegade order arrived 15 minutes ago.
Early WW1 French Infantry, Chasseurs and Cavalry
Early War German Infantry and Cavalry.
All Regiment Deals, and very good value, 
Destined to be VSF French & Prussians.
Eventually (its quite a horde all in one go )

There seems to be some variation in the size of the West Wind heads. I had some WW2 British and German a while back, which are definitely larger than the Pickelhaube ones. Nice sculpts though, so I'll find a use for them.

And I definitely recommend the Female Hussars from Hinterland. Lovely figures
