Conquest Games new Robin Hood miniatures

[Conquest Games]

You probably all know us for our plastic 28mm Norman miniatures, but we have branched out a bit and gone a little later with our latest range of metal minis. Please take a look at our new range of "Robin Hood - Wolfshead" miniatures - sculpted to fit into a 'mythical' 12th Century.





Available at our webstore now...

There will be more to come for this range during the year.

Thanks for looking.

like them,though think john could be stretched a little more for my liking.
keep em coming,looking good!

Yeah, good call, but a taller John would have been nice for the true 'Hollywood effect'

[Rob_bresnen]

Excellent.

I have just picked up some conquest horsemen to start a SAGA warband. Now I can see some extended use for them.

If you make the figures base a little bit thicker that his companions- which I do by adding a slither of 0.5mm or 1mm thick plasticard- then the effect is surprisingly good for enhancing the overall effect of hight. It doesn't show when the base is flocked/decorated.

 I think this is what Tom Cruise does.

So this is a different Conquest to the Conquest that do North American Indian tribes and such?

The whole Brigade Games/Brigade Models thing again. Could be a bit confusing. Oh well. Getting your figure manufacturers muddled up is all part of life's rich tapestry, I guess.

[Captain Blood]

Yep, Conquest and Conquest, Brigade and Brigade... 
I'm sure there are reasons behind it, but it is all a bit confusing 

Mind you, my own wargames figure venture is going to be called 'Warlord Foundry', so I shouldn't complain

Very nice !

[DoctorPete]

Very nice.  Looking forward to more.

Any chance of a comparison shot next to some well known manufacturers as they look a little dwarvish 

cheers

Or perhaps Wargames Foundry Workshop?

Seconded, they do look a little on the squat side, Perhaps its the camera angle, but I would certainly like to see a comparison photo as well.

I have just received my order of these figures, which came very quickly. I have been waiting 29 years for figures based on the 80's Robin of Sherwood so was very excited to see them. They are lovely sculpts , but perhaps Tuck and John's heads are too big, and John is nowhere near tall enough. The real downside is that they are all way too small altogether to fit in with the rest of my 12th century figures which I have been buying to start a Robin Hood collection.

These outlaws are dwarfed by Crusader Miniatures (which I have used for Gisburne's men) , Black Tree, Gripping Beast and of course Blue Moon (which are pretty big anyway). The Reaper figure I have chosen for Owen of Clun is almost twice the height of Robin.

I understand Conquest are going to release the rest of the Outlaws (we need a Nasir for sure)  followed by some of the baddies, but I would really appreciate it if they rescaled to fit in with other manufacturers. Even with the bases built up, they just look too slight.

Hot on the heels of my last post, I decided to take a few pics of these figures with other manufacturers
