[Commercial] Introducing Bloody Miniatures P.63 The final Release 11 painting!

[THE CID]

Just arrived, and I've got to say " these are the best ECW figures on the market. The animation brings each one to life and gives them an individual character. Casting is superb and the alloy used is perfect, these should last many a lifetime.
Although I have a load of Bicorne figures, which these size up to perfectly, I'm going to paint mine as stand alone figures for small skirmishes and scenarios.
For the future would love to see some snipers, dandy Cavaliers and some casualties.
Summing up Richard, I don't just like them, I bloody love em.

The Cid: re your earlier question, as a life-long Newcastle Utd supporter (I was born in Newcastle and brought up in Gosforth) I'm afraid that Newcastle don't need a new manager. Sadly, they need a magician, and I don't think Richard would claim to be one, although I hope he's currently a bit of an alchemist, changing lead into gold.

Sadly I think your right mate.

[Malamute]

And arrived today 

So weak

Mind you I caved in as well.

Thanks Craig. That's lovely feedback

Snipers and Dandy cavaliers are certainly on the long list, along with stern-faced puritans, in the fullness of time.

Never too sure about casualties. Good for markers etc, I do agree, but given the not insignificant costs involved in sculpting and mould-making (before one even gets onto casting), I'd need to have a good think about how well they'd be likely to actually sell.
(I'm honestly not in this for the money - but I have set myself the bar of covering the costs involved)

Nice one Richard, great for skirmish games  Very Flashing Blade 
Lovely paint jobs too.

Cheers,
Lance

[Captain Blood]

Thank you Lance 

You’ve got to fight for what you want, and all that you believe...

Ah, I can hear it now 

[aircav]

Bloody hell Richard, these are a bloody bit good 

Almost wants to make me do ECW almost

[levied troop]

I think it's the first time I've ever cleaned up and undercoated figures on the day I bought them!

It also occurs to me that those chaps at the front will make some nicely active pikemen in my larger units.

Excellent! 

All being well, somewhere down the line, I'll probably do a specific pack of pikemen scrabbling in the midst of a melee...

Ah, The Flashing Blade! When I finally visited Chateau Gaillard a few years ago I had a flashback (pun alert!) to my childhood and could hear that stupid music ringing in my head. Odd place to film considering the castle was meant to be in northern Italy. Not sure Savoy looks all that much like Normandy. Oh well...   


This move of yours certainly seems to be a popular one, Richard.

[Bullshott]

Lovely stuff Richard. So good that I've just placed an order for the lot! These will fit in nicely as doughty fighters to support my witch hunters 

I've also passed the word on to the wargamers in my English Civil War reenactment group and you've got at least one order from that direction

Will get your order out to you ASAP.

So far, so good, Dylan 

I never realised that the castle in The Flashing Blade wasn’t genuinely in the SE of France. Or wherever it was set. Italy you say? I think I thought it was somewhere between France and Spain. Mind you, I was only about 12 at the time

Ripe for a remake that series... I feel a proposal to Netflix coming on

[gamer Mac]

Another lead baron in the group.
Very nice looking figures Richard
Not my cup of tea though
A link to you web site would be handy as a banner on your profile?
Good luck with the venture

Ah, I can hear it now 

So can I after you mentioned it - could become a a painful ear-worm 

[Captain Blood]

Thanks Colin

And thank you, Lance, for the ear-worm

Meanwhile, here's a gratuitous close-up of the swordsmen...
