Epic Scale Medievals or Ancients to be released?

By the way if you want to "go small" as an alternative to 28mm I would look at 6mm. I steered clear of this scale for many years but last month succumbed to peer pressure and me and my mates are now doing Napoleonics. I have been amazed at how quickly I can paint these. A different style is needed than with my 28s and for me the secret is a basic paint job picking out detail in brighter colors and then a light coloured flock on the base. I'm now considering 6mm ancients using the simple "Age of Hannibal" rules.

I like the shoulder to shoulder strips of the epic figs and if I was to down scale my Macedonians, Greeks, Successors, Persians and Indians Id like to go with that style, but just running through those names you can see the differences in troops types, formations, equipment, etc. required.

That's a lot of tooling in plastic.

This makes me wonder if something like war of the roses isn't more likely, where the same sprue painted the same ish with a different decal on the banners works just fine.

They did make a huge investment in tooling for Napoleonics, something like 13+ frames, so I suppose it depends how well that did for them.

Of course, because of lead in and manufacture times,  the likelihood is that the project is already live and that Warlord are actively sculpting - so what ever is next is already in motion.

It's a combination of those wretched Asterix comics, which don't come within a mile of getting anything right, and Trajan's column. Perhaps if we all sponsored a long-overdue Scipio Africanus' column?

When I was at university the Asterix series was part of my Archaeology reading list. Among other things, best portrayal of Druids out there according to the professor!

Minnesota Bible Studies College? Oxford? One of those places, obviously.
