Mark has released some terrain bits to go with his new range

Right now I`m working on some Barbarian archers, a mammoth and some Picts. My Picts, by the way, are brutish Neanderthal-like, Cthulhu-worshipping savages inspired more by Robert E. Howard than history.

As part of the background to the 15mm range I`ve drawn a map of an alternative Britain circa 100AD - lots of influences, historical and fictional, but the actual landforms were inspired by maps of the land-bridge that existed between Britain and the European continent after the Ice Ages.

Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!
I can't start painting 15mm again at my advanced age...

The eyeballs will'nae take it cap'n!

But I do adore this range...

Ooooooh, I can't wait to see those! Looking forward to his 'Romans' too.

Come on Richard you know you want to, if I can do it I'm sure you can

Only done one so far though

The temptation is getting to a critical level. I'll likely give in when the Romans arrive.

Well, that is jolly nice, Phil. Well done.

Maybe i'll just try a pack or two... If i were to see anyone selling them at Salute, for instance...

I've got to say, those do look like mighty nice minis.

They could actually tempt me to try 15mm for the first time in 20 years!

We'll see...

They cost less to have painted

Those would keep my figure in better shape most definately. I'll order some of those!

You've kept that under your hat alright, Phil! Can't say I approve, but at least they're not plastic....

I like it! I was a bit worried it might go a bit too historical, but the Copplestone range seems to be shaping up nicely. I dont want historical Picts, but Neanderthal, Cthullu worshipping Picts I can go for!

BTW, how does one sign up for the Copplestone newsletter?

I also wonder if this might work as a variation for Saga, I dont fancy saga as a historical set but I might like a fantasy variant. The mechanics intrigue me.

the Trilithon Stone Portal would fit very nicely if I'd made the Stonehenge scene from the Spinal Tap movie in 28mm

anyway these Copplestone 15mm are very nice! the barbarians remind a lot of the grenadier ones (I also think they were his work)

What are you doing on the Fantasy board

Can't resist Mark's stuff, such a joy to paint, even in this scale, and always enjoy our games with "Astounding Tales" and fancied giving Howard's "Chain Mail Bikini" rules a go, can do it cheaply this way now.

Chain Mail Bikini Rules-What are these rules of which you speak?
