Frebooter or Shadow Sea for Mordheim Amazons?
« on: November 26, 2014, 04:02:27 PM »
A friend and I are starting a Lustrian Mordheim game, and I've decided to try and play Amazons. Looked into picking up some of the old GW figures on eBay, but they are ridiculously overpriced and not that great to begin with. I really like both the freebooter and the shadow sea Amazons but I'm wondering about scale differences as my opponents will be using GW stuff. I'm okay with the Amazons being tall, but between these two companies which range stylistically and scale-wise will fit in best with your average GW figures? I'm leaning towards the freebooter stuff but it looks more like 35-36mm? One of my opponents will be playing lizard men and the other dark elves.

Thanks for the info

I have a good amount of the antimatter stuff, I can try to take a picture tonight or tomorrow for you.  I have always been happy with the Shadowsea figures though.  I think the Antimatter stuff is ~32mm scale.

One thing to keep in mind, if your opponents are using 'official' mordheim figures, those were often bigger than the regular warhammer stuff.  My mordheim metals are definitely chunky and bigger compared to my other GW stuff.

Freebooter Amazons are gorgeous.  Quite delicate, with thin arms to attach, but great on the tabletop.

I have both sets of minis, also not painted yet.
I think whatever you chose you can not really go wrong as both ranges are worth to be collected, painted and to be used on the tabletop.
