Fantasy in Fifty Four

[tikitang]

Our 40mm series is unfortunately a dead series. We haven't added to it in at least 12 years.

I don't know; I wouldn't say a series that is 'complete' is dead! If it's still purchasable then it's very much alive, in my view. Plus, I prefer to collect miniature ranges which are 'finished', rather than open-ended, as you know precisely how much it's going to cost and how much space you'll need to store it! 

We do have a UK reseller, Maison Militaire.   You can get in touch with Tina from their website.

Unfortunately they don't seem to stock the 40mm Crusaders! Ah well, I've got my hands full with the current project anyway.

Speaking of which, here's this week's miniature: another man-at-arms!



This fellow is marketed on the Irregular Miniatures website as a pikeman (though I think he'd also make a good banner bearer). Unfortunately the model doesn't come with a pike (or a banner), just an empty hand grasping vainly in the air. Thanks to Langley Models (and some advice from Hobgoblin) he's now wielding a war hammer!

Like the last man-at-arms, he came with a crudely-sculpted sword strapped to his belt, which I removed.

Yea, i can see why he's a pikeman.  Took me a minute cause i looked at the photo first, but now that you mentioned he was too poor to afford his own weapon, the pose makes sense.

And yes, unfortunately, the 40mm ranges are dead.    They are not nearly complete, but at the time we started, our focus was so firmly fixed on our 60mm painted figures, we just decided to make what we had and call it a day.   C'est la vie.

Maison Militaire won't stock the 40mm, but they will order them and import them for you.  They have an open order with us now, so if you want 40mm figs just tell them what you want and they'll do the legwork.    In any case, carry on with the big mini project - i want to see games played images.   ;-)
