Oh yeah, seen that. And Mr Vampire, Tsui Hark's Vampire Hunters, Chinese Ghost Story and about a dozen others. Jet Li's The Evil Cult is worth a watch too, but makes no sense at all.

Looks like its time to delve into the DVD collection again and refresh my memory. Oh the things I have to do for this hobby...

I was just perusing the Curteys website (to assist in your research) and the pirate captain and crew look like they would work for the basis of a warband, let alone the thousands of other figures they have. This small project of yours could escalate...

Soooo.....

..... What's everybody else been buying then?

Quickly, quickly, distract the Dark Prince while Bob does a runner....

I could be persuaded in the fullness of time to bring a small warband to the table. (If I knew what was needed to buy to make up a band.) I do own a number of the Monolith Chines buildings from my Boxer rebellion days, so could add those to the mix. If you planned this for BLAM 09 I reckon I could do a warband.

I know nothing of this Warband you talk about but I have the odd Oriental figure in my collection and could always loan you a few if it helps.

Should'nt you all be watching The Drum on the telly at the mo' though. Cracking 1938 Sabu North West Frontier goodliness.

Ahh its a classic. I am however sitting at work thinking of ways to spend my vast fortune to help prop up our failing econmony.

Cool beans, let me have a think about how the warbands would go together, and I'll get back to you. You'd need no more than 12 minis, I think, maybe 15 at the absolute most.

First orders from Vendel miniatures and very pleased with the figures :

- 4 wolves : basic sculpts, very huge -as big as GW ones, but ideal models for true wargs.
- the giant bear  : great sculpt, it's in resin though (but it's good for shipping cost...)
& seven mastiffs  these dogs are so cute ! I'm not too keen with this expression but it's really a "must have" : very versatile minis.

And to top it off, Roland Hynd, the new owner of Vendel, is very helpful.

@ Lowtar (or Karl ?  ) 
These are exactly the ones I would like to complete my FYW force, but yours should be painted far sooner than mine 
Have you had the time to see the Perry indians despite "confisquation" ? How do they match with the Conquests ones ?

@ WK

Is it not huge ? Is it not mean ?





Foundry DA figure in the middle for scale, and sorry for the crappy pics

I did have to err Quality check them and they are a very good match almost identical in stature etc 

The Crusader minis are taller but the proportions are quite alike and as they will be spearate units should look good on the table.

Who said I would paint them beofre you...have you seen my lead mountain

Of course you can trust "les rosbifs" starting on the Compagne Marine but painting them as Canadain Milice as suggested, the Osprey has the ideal pictures in it and is a rivetting read and great starter book on the period

Oh, my, that's Shardik!
