I've been basing my northlanders up for Dragon rampant. Mainly on individual bases, 20mm for the infantry, 25mm for the cavalry and bigger for characters, Giants and bears.

Could always use more cavalry and some wolves..

Post if anyone does get a reply.  :D

Jings I just wrote a post and it vanished.
Basically I said that I was basing rank and file on DBA stylee bases for HOTT.  Then the characters on pennies. For big games I blue tack the pennies onto DBA bases.
For buildings I bought some beautiful scratchbuilt by Zaheer. Perhaps he would produce more...

Unfortunately nothing to hand, though I'll see if I can dig something worthwhile out.

In the meantime, for a bit of eye candy try this link;

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.

If Ospreys "Broken Legions" due to be published in July can't provide a catalyst, nothing can. Perhaps onordering we should mention that. I really need to get some more. I have an aversion to horses in fantasy, but I aim to convert cavalry riders to other fantasy mounts.

Ive never heard of Broken Legiona, but I use my Copplestone Barbarians for SoBH and LotR - both slightly modded - and the great CROM rules!

 I have always intended to use CROM, but I haven't painted up the figures yet (I am a little bit scared to they are so nice). However, what I am driving at is that Broken Legions could really provide an impetus behind this range. They would seem to naturally go together.

In truth I have an aversion to horses. They just don't provide any aesthetic interest to me. I like technology, so I love vehicles in sci-fi. In fantasy, horses aren't fantastic, so I would rather have some more interesting and varied mounts. Splintered light have some 15mm Dragon riders that are great in this vein. Sorry to Tolkein purists and the rest of the fantasy cannons out there, but I want cavalry on fantastic fantasy mounts.

Awesome stuff!

I really hope the mighty Mr C will have mercy on us and give us (in that order): pictish heroes and command, dwarven archers, and then his versions of Romans and elves as it was originally intended!
