Miniatures for WW1

[Hammers]

They are nice they had them on display at Fiasco the other week, they also do a Zepplin, its a bit pricey though

Ayep. 20 quid.

You are thinking of this  1/144 resin kit of a zeppelin? €300 (gulp) It is so big it is impractical for gaming, IMO.

We'll have none of that defeatist talk here! It's not big enough I say. Get a 28mm one.   





Edit: Learn to spell, young man!

Right! But please don't remind me that 1/144 is the scale for WoW, I could get tempted to buy this one.

I think we've arrived at the era of game board elephantiasis, such as the film industry went through in the 50s. The impressario Ignatieff is our the William Wyler.

Anyone seen these in the flesh?

No but they look a bit hit & miss in the pictures

Thanks for the heads up from 1st Corps.

That seems true - the Trench Raiders in particular look.... - well I am a loss for words - strange as 1st Corps has done some very nice stuff in the past and at good prices

The armour looks alright though. I have it in my head that 1st corps are on the shorter side so does anyone know if that whippet will work alright next to larger figures (brigade, copplestone etc.)?

Its spot on, there's a picture here:

Thanks, aircav, that picture's really helpful and shows off the tank a lot better than the one on 1st corps' website. It looks like a good buy at £22.

Anyone got any good pics of old glory and renegade together?

Old Glory are short - the few WW1 British from OG I've got I dubbed "the 1st Hobbiton Rifles" whilst painting them! I've never bought Renegade WW1, but from reports (and their non-WW1 stuff I've seen) they're big lads, at the larger end of the nominally-28mm spectrum.

Sticking the two alongside each other... is likely to look a bit odd.

[aircav]

I would agree with Wirelizard, they will look a bit odd together OG would fit well with Foundry, 1st Corps & Musketeer & possibly Brigade games.

I wanted to share my recent blog post on the availability
of 15mm World War 1 miniatures.

It is interesting that Blue Moon and Irregular are bringing more figures out. I also am under the impression that QRF is planing to do the same.
