Foundry Un-released "Dark Age" Germans

[WillieB]

Musketeer and Gripping Beast don't really make Franks - and personally I don't care for Gripping Beast's older ranges. And because I use DBx basing I prefer more static poses. The one standing pack the Foundry sells (FS3) is very imited in variety. I think 519 and 520 look pretty good, and might mix well with Musketeer's Saxons.

Newline Designs has a really neat range of Franks that fit very well with Foundry's older Franks.(alas, no pictures on their website) but they are very good if soemwhat static.


Gripping Beast does a small range of Franks but they are somewhat hidden on the websitehttp://www.grippingbeast.com/product.php?ItemID=2309 and quite a few of the 'German Tribes' range are very 'Frankish' looking.

I would be more interested in the unreleased Ostrogoths since AFAIK no- one has ever done these.

i have the Old Glory and they are great !
But sold by pack of 30 !

and they have aggressive looking....not like the Foundry (Casting Room) ones who are waiting the bus or some like that.

I think the Old Glory ones were done by the guy from West Wind.
There are a few painted on google images. They look acceptable I quite like them.

I've been considering West Wind Arthurians to use as generic barbarians. Late Roman armoured infantry and cavalry with Saxon or Pict seperate heads should work.

here it 's a shot of my old glory Francks.

With some conversions of course 






And quite fit well with Foundry and BTD ranges.
