* Imperial Wizard

Game Zone has some fantastic sculpters. I have their trolls and painting them was one of the most enjoyable painting experiences in the last year or so.

Are their human sculpts big (heroic) 28mm (like GW) or more ordinarely sized?

They are warhammer-compatible, so I think they are on the heroic scale size.

*Sigh* So of no use except for the pleasure to paint them.

I have to say, though, that the Gamezone Spearmen which I own work very well with my Front Rank HYW figures. A bit less stocky, but good fit overall.

Yes, absolutely spectacular miniatures. When I would start collecting a Fantasy army today, Gamezone would be my company of choice. Everything GW's minis once had, but have lost completely today: creativity, exciting poses, excellent anatomy and, most important, originality!

Thanks for the info, KeyanSark, the Thaumaturge will be mine shortly!!!  :D  :love:

:o Have had no closer look to Gamezone miniatures up to now, because I am not realy after fantasy minis anymore.

But, absolutly this ones are realy great. And I think I will follow the Admiral and go at leat for the Thaumaturge and I think also for the wizard and Invict Gloriae.

For sure I will have a closer look at the whole line now.

Thanks KeyanSark

They are still cheaper than GW figures, though, and their "Feudales" are far superior in look and usability than GW´s Bretonnians.

But I agree, while splendid-looking, I wouldn´t want to build a complete army from them. I once painted a squadron of their Dark Elven Lizard Knights as a commission and spent an age assembling them. Lovely models, but a pain in the rear to correctly balance. I still may be getting some more of their men-at-arms for use as 14th/15th century English foot. Skirmish gaming, that is.
