Mantic games northern alliance sprues

[lord marcus]

For anyone interested:









new northern alliance plastics, currently on preorder. At least 1 shop that sells sprues-a-la-carte in the states has them up for preorder too.

The ravens look useful for mid-sized monster birds of various descriptions annd paint jobs, while the elves in winter tribal dress are kind of interesting, but all of them look to be running forwards.

Thanks for the info (from Northern Alliance I always think Ahmad Shah Massoud)

No problem. I like discussing conversion potential and sprue photos are useful for that.

Rok for Sinbad?

[lord marcus]

Oooh. Good idea.

So are those massively over sized birds or just normal birds of prey at 28mm-ish scale?

Massively oversized, with 28mm dwarf riders.

Basically mini rocs if they were ravens

Interesting.
The Elves might be useful to bulk out my Northmen army.

Northern army? Can you be a bit more descriptive? Is this for a particular game system or theme that I should be referencing?

Oh god, those sprues make building models so annoying. When parts are laid out here, there and every where it takes forever to find what you're looking for.

System is Oathmark, theme is sort of Game of Thrones Wildings but equal opportunity (as would be expected  for Oathmark)

I have not added any Barbarians II yet to my mini-army.

I had been thinking of adding some of their Ice Naieds but they are composite kits and a bit suss.

The sprue layout may be electronically optimised, it does look rather odd.

Very cool ultra Smurf! Sounds like a fun project
