(Commercial) Mighty Empires Ranges - Ancients
« on: March 08, 2023, 02:48:49 PM »
Afternoon all,
I don't normally post here but was asked by another to let folks know of the ranges we currently have on the webstore.
If  you have any questions please let me know :D

Also worth telling people that you are working on 15mm versions as well

Yes I am the person who keeps pestering you on Facebook about these  ;D

I like the breath of your ranges, but there are inconsistencies. When I initially see these I think they are in 15mm. I find your Roman range to be very static, but also if they were 54mm they would make excellent chess pieces for a Roman Civil War chess set.
Your latest offerings of chariot era warriors look very nice and have well scaled heads, hair and proportions and some very lively poses which will be very cool for skirmish games. If I was into that period I would paint those. It is strange that SAGA and other skirmish rules seem to do the chariot era last, when it should be the opposite. Odd that the Trojan War has no end of miniatures and different scaled rules to play games in. Good luck with your ranges, I hope your Hittites et al start up new interest.

Thats fine Jeff, the Romans were designed originally for metal castings in white metal but the rest of the ranges are more dynamic poses that only 3d printing can provide

I'd also echo 15mm, really like your Palmyrans and they'd certainly fill gaps in the market for 15mm, the Bronze Age stuff is lovely and likewise would be great in that scale!

Are the red copper biblical ranges sculpted by Mario as well?

I’m pretty sure the answer is no to that.
However they do look nice!

Nice figures, but I do think the Roman's pila shafts are way too large in square cross-section. I understand why you probably want/need them thicker, but a deal breaker for me. (For those who may not know, the pilum shaft was very thin so that it would bend after embedding in an enemy's shield/armor, so it couldn't be thrown back at its original owner).
