Blitzkrieg Miniatures - Mighty Empires

[peachy rex]

Has anyone seen these chaps in the flesh? I have the usual questions for anyone who has - quality, compatibility, etc. The renders generally look good, but the range is so new that the only pictures of printed figs that I can find are on Blitzkrieg's facebook page.

Appreciate any help.

I ordered some of their minis and have been impressed with how they paint up. I will put some pictures up later today of their painting progress

[GerryB21]

any particular army ?

Succesors painted by the sculptor himself.

Very helpful, thanks. I'm particularly looking at the classical Indians at the moment, used with or against Aventine and A&A (though in separate units even when in the same army.)

Those are really fantastic looking.

The Indian figures are even better than the successor figures.
I’ve seen them in the flesh. Really nice.
I love the club man figure and the armoured figures.
Elephant is cool too.

These do look very nice.  How do they go scale wise v  Victrix ?

Good morning, yes the Indians look nice as 3D renders.  Apparently cavalry, chariots and elephants should be released next week. That will make the Blitzkrieg range IMHO the biggest ancient Indian range bar the now rather old 1st Corps and Old Glory figures. Can't wait.

I have their Thureophoroi and painted some phalangites with a friend for her collection, and I have to say that they are really good. They look good with Victrix Hellenistic's even if they are a bit chunkier. I will post some pictures later...

As promised some images,

Blitzkrieg and Victrix side by side:




and some mixed ones with Foundry, Aventine, Blitzkrieg and Victrix:





Hope they are helpful!

Wow, these look like "big lads". Not sure I would mix them in the  same army let alone the same unit?

[sgzleada71]

Thanks for the pics Arrigo.   They look like giants !   I don't think they'll go w the rest of my armies sadly.   If  10% smaller I'd be ordering a batch

The Thracian XV should dominate the scrums this season, folks! 

I'll probably take a flyer on the Indians - they wouldn't be mixing with anyone else's infantry. And then we'll see. (Updates when I eventually have some in the hand.)
