I'm thrilled, been wanting to do ancients for a long time but the amount of figures needed was getting in the way, now i could get nice metals for front rank, leaders, characters and fill up with cheap plastics

Great news. They even look Perry sculpted.

Those have to be Perry sculpts.

An investor-backed plastics wargaming company. Interesting...

If you google the investor he is one big honcho

this is probably pocket money for him

Wow a U.S. company even. Too bad it's unlikely they will ever do anything related to U.S. history. Still cool though.

I hope they'll have an European distributor... About 20€ for 48 minis? They've got my full atention

PS.: Oh no... Yet another period in yet another scale... Piggy Bank is crying...

Fifty4 said they'd be available in europe too, although at that price, i could probably live with being hit by customs

Well, you are in luck there since the Perry brothers are. They are coming out with a range of plastic ACW miniatures.

Hmmm... Interesting trend emerging here... Plastic ACWs from Perry, plastic ancients from this mob, plastic WWII from Valiant Miniatures - and all sculpted in the distinctive style of wargames figures...

Did people suddenly realise how GW must be making a fortune selling boxes of a few plastic figures for £15 GBP each... ? :wink:

Lowtardog · « **Reply #10 on:** January 30, 2008, 08:01:29 PM »

Certainly worth investing in a box or two

Col.Stone · « **Reply #11 on:** January 30, 2008, 09:44:34 PM »

absolutely, worst case scenario, they'll join the ranks of my undead army as zombies..

Rhoderic · « **Reply #12 on:** January 30, 2008, 09:55:50 PM »

Now... how to get them to paint themselves?

I was told that the crest shoul be rotated of 45° ... infact it was sculped in this way in ancient "Bas-relief " but in the real it was like this
