David, do we know if this company is still operating? Just wish to confirm or otherwise, thanks.

When i talk to him in march, he does not have much time to do shows and does not have much free time.
send him an email, if he is not in spain this week?
He travel a lot, so he might be slow at replying.

Thanks for all the wonderful suggestions...lots of food for thought.

After a quick look at all the options offered to date...I must say I'm quite taken with the Renegade sculpts...I know they are a bit out of proportion and charateristic but coming from GW games I guess that's what I expect from figures...haha too bad the range is so small....I like their pricing too! even with the 40% shipping to the US its a good deal.

Can anyone point me toward examples of painted Renegade WWII minis?

Cheers...and thanks again!

Thanks David.

I'm very suprised in seeing no forthcoming releases from this company or otherwise not seeing folks collections that usually adorn websites.

I'm wondering if this is a hit or miss company?

Very quite,

Hi David,
Thanks for your enquiry, still going and yes I haven’t updated it. The day job has got a bit out of hand!!
Will be addressing all of that over Xmas. On the German Paras now have 40 plus figures done – will be announcing  something very shortly.
Cheers fro now,

Thanks David very much for taking the time to enquire to such depth. I look forward in seeing the German Paras as I think you may do too.

Thanks again,

Helen

Renegade do look nice, but they are very, very large.  Not 28mm at all.

My Brits are BAM (now Warlord)-these are the only range that included some correct kit such as additional loaders pouches for the Bren No2. Also lots of nice touches such as leather jerkins, mugs etc (paint your mugs white or brown-NOT steel colour as they were enamalled). My mortars are BAM and Crusader, 6pdr is Crusader-I just didn't want to fork out £12 from WG for theirs. Westwind also mix well if you want casualties, signallers and so on.

Having said all of that, if I had my chance over again I would DEFINITELY be mostly acquiring this range:

this has to be the worlds best designed figures-they are extremely authentic, designed by a fantastic figure sculptor who to be frank knocks the spots off just about anyone out there-they just happen to be 1/76 scale....
