What next for Copplestone Barbarica 15mm fantasy?

[Jagannath]

Yeah I wonder if it's self fulfilling in that sense - no command pack because they don't sell, but do they not sell because they aren't a complete range? I wonder.

He did put some new models up on the latest relatively recently - some mummies and wizards.

[Phil Robinson]

Those were not new, just re-issues.

[DivisMal]

Yeah, the non-existance of heroes and command packs for Picts keeps me from using them in my tabletop battles...

[Jagannath]

Those were not new, just re-issues.

Damn, there goes that spark of hope.

[FramFramson]

Still glad he re-issued the Wizards. Those are a fun set.

It wouldn't surprise me if it is because of financial reasons that this range has foundered (although lately, obviously, Mr. Copplestone has been quite busy with "Frostgrave"). It's rather sad how sniffy a large proportion of the gaming community can be about anything that isn't 28mm. Anyway, I messaged him back in 2014 and he told me that he would do a Pictish command pack (chief, shaman and so forth), Cthulhu Mythos-esque demons and, yes, fantasy Romans. As these have yet to appear and almost two years have elapsed it is tempting to fear the worse. Perhaps we should start an online petition!

Some of my work on this delightful range can be seen here:

 Nice blog and i also like the miniatures on it too.Need to see what packs i am missing for the range now.

[manic _miner]

 Just placed a small order for three packs of miniatures.

 I also asked about future releases too.

 Now everyone else needs to do the same.

 The range will only grow with sales so dig deep .

Very well, if you insist.

Ordered the cavalry; the only barbarian packs I seemed to be missing

 If people ask what will be next when they place an order that might help Mark get inspired.

 There are still quite a few packs that i want (the whole range really).Just need to sell some other figures to fund it.

 Love the look of the Giants and Trolls.

Tell us if you get a reply..
I have been trying to order something every month. I must say the mail order is really well run. I have never had any issues and they are delivered quickly.

I hate to say this but that new Battle Valor Games might offer alternatives. They already do fantasy Romans called Legians. In the pipeline there are Hellians so possibly fantasy Greeks and fantasy Egyptians called Pyraminians or something.
I can't stress enough how much I would rather see Copplestone figs...

Edit

Have just heard from them.
Turns out Hellians are some sort of demonic race. Which makes sense but there will be fantasy Greeks at some point.
Hoplitians?

 I do like the look of the Battle Valor miniatures but like has been said before the postage and customs charges will put me off buying.If they had a stockist in the UK that might well change for lots of people.

 Made a list of what i still need to get from the Copplestone range.Quite a bit to be honest so more orders will be going in when i have the funds.

 What do people use for buildings with these miniatures?Any good one's around?

 Not really sure how to base mine.Might go with single bases as that will give more use.

I too had a few emails with Mark a while ago and the same items were mentioned. I think this range has huge potential for fun games and of course lovely figures. I've been guilty of not buying much of it, so have sent off an order just now, a giant and some heroes.

I have based my northlanders two to a 2p piece with heroes on a 1p base.

For me the order process is excellent and would buy marks figures before an import. I think a pack of legio, a pack of auxiliary and a command of priests, tribunes, wolf, general and emperor would be great. There's a bit of a runequest crossover and of course shattered legions due in the summer.

Must remember to buy another couple of packs next month too
