Splintered Light Dark Ages 15/18mm size?`
« on: July 29, 2013, 01:14:55 PM »
Does anybody out there have a size shot of these? I'm hoping they will fit with the larger 15mm fantasy ranges really (copplestone, demonworld). Very sorry to clog up the forums but my google-fu is weak on this particular subject!

The Copplestones are noticeably bigger, but just in the burly barbarian among weak civilized men kinda way. The one thing you will notice is how much better the sculpting is on the Copplestones...

Yes, I thought that would be the case thank you! I'm just after some figures who don't have such obviously good circulation as the copplestone figures. Any other dark ages ranges in that 'large 15mm'/18mm scale?

They are bigger, but not so much burly. I own the SLM Arthurian Brits. I have had them for about a decade and not painted them, yet. If you want me to photograph them next to an Old Glory, Essex, etc., let me know. I could do that.

That would be a big help thank you, I'm agonising over it a bit as the customs/postage make buying a small sample from SL a bit unappealing.

Sorry to take a couple days to do this! I compared both foot and mounted to Old Glory, Essex and Xyston figures. Hope it helps!

Foot comparison

Splintered Light really are nice figures. I just never got around to painting them because I kind of got out of 15mm Ancients in general. We'd played DBA regularly and often for 20+ years, so I was a bit tired of it...haha.

That;s very helpful thank you. I know the Xyston are quite large but can't really see why the SLM figures are described as 18mm, oh well, thanks again!
