The wiglaf are amazing as are all the other Copplestone 15mm, so this is good news indeed  :D

I can't avoid the siren call of the Cooplestone/Wiglaf/Hornblower ~15mm line any more. These are incredible!

Well, there's a 2025 project sorted.

What's the future of the line look like after the Barrow Wights? Beastmen next?

I crumbled like a sand castle in the tide and bought the army pack. I’m really looking forward to painting some! I haven’t started an undead or a beastmen army yet, but the barrow wights seem promising.

I appreciate that these lines are more dark age fantasy rather than high fantasy. Will the beastmen, and whatever come next, follow a similar dark age aesthetic or are they more Warhammer-like?

Thanks for all the support so far!

Without getting too far ahead of myself...

The main undead faction will be the "Barrow Lords", which are a Celtic / European BronzeAge sort of army, with all the unit types.

But I have some plans for a Savage Tribes Zombies/slightly less boney Undead pack (to use as white walkers vs the Icetribe).

If things go really well we might be able to have a single Skeleton pack for every major culture, but this would be late stages.

Sounds well worth getting into then 😀

You can see some of my test castings on my instagram page @macefaceminiatures,
My beastmen won't have bolted together rusty armor, but all their gear is stolen or gifted from various cultures in the setting :-)
It's not uncommon for humans to place old weapons and gear at the edge of the moors, as tribute, in hopes of keeping the Beastmen away from their villages...

I would say all factions sit between Ancients to Darkages, more Sword and Sorcery feel.

 A fantastic looking set of minis

I personally don't need more women in my life but I hope the range keeps going

I don't need to expand my collection to 15mm

I might want to expand my collection to 15mm!

Great little sculpts; excellent start to the range.

Also really liking the sound of the future plans (i.e.
The main undead faction will be the "Barrow Lords", which are a Celtic / European BronzeAge sort of army, with all the unit types.
[...]
