Chariots Rampant the Mycenean challenge AAR of post Covid battle.

[Erik]

We will wait till the night, and then Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash will climb out of the Giant pony and surprise the Troyans!!

 

It does look great though.

[Totleben]

More epic than the Illiad.

This project is still not completely dead. I finally recieved my order from Redoubt. I ordered some Myrmidons and two chariots. And i think it is safe to say that from now on in if I need any more reinforcements they will be from Foundry. The Redoubt minis are terrible they had the worst moldlines/mold slipping I have seen in a long time. All running down faces and other fidly details.

I was very tempted to return them. But given the lack of communication from Redoubt I thought it would not be worth the hassle so I did what I could to try and save what I could. I am not sure if I have it in me to try and salvage the chariots though...

This is what I ended up with.

Sadly true. The Myrmidons are particularly bad, had lots of miscasts (and obviously no quality control) in my last and ultimate order – first time I actually binned metal figures. Never again.

All the more, you did an admirable job on these.

Some of the Redoubt are wonderful minis, great active sculpts, and fairly clean castings. Others are absolute turds, the Myrmidons esp. with their sex-doll faces and weird poses. I'm still pleased with some of mine, but Foundry are far better.

Nice work, good to see the project still going!

[Erik]

It’s kind of like drinking. Once you go all in, afterwards you swear it’s the last time, but after a vile you forget and you get tempted again . I had my first bad experience with their scots highlanders for ECW but was pleased with their Dendra armored warriors (ever though they were single posed).

What are your plans for these guys in terms of our Trojan quest?

[Dr. Zombie]

It was your Dendra armored guys that convinced me to give it a go with the Myrmidons. So in fact it is your fault!

I am thinking to use them as fierce infantry.

[Erik]

Good idea and sorry about that.

[warburton]

Epic (literally!!) project!

[Firescale Whack]

Thought you guys might want to keep an eye on these upcoming figures from Eureka miniatures.

When will they be out?  
Is there more?

[Matakakea]

They look like they'd be a fun painting project at the least.

[axabrax]

Those are brilliant. Second the when and more question 

[Firescale Whack]

When will they be out? 
Is there more?

I can answer the second question as there are more than just these pictured, the idea being to make a raiding party similar to Eureka's Beowulf set. But I am not sure when these will be available from the website as Eureka was having some computer problems courtesy of Microsoft. However I reckon if you emailed Nic in a week or two's time you might be able to get a better idea.

Tomorrow night we are playing another game. Here is the layout for the game.
