Any Plastics for Sub/Late Roman Brits?

[damianlz]

Couldnt this simply be settled by a company willing to design and run a kick starter? I love the gripping beast figure conversions but look at how much effort to try get something as close as possible. give me off the shelf.

Oh and it needs to have berkosovo AND intercisa helmets. I have hundreds of dollars waiting to send anyone willing to start.

Do they have to be 28s? HAT makes late Romans and Auxilliaries in 25 in plastic and they look dang good.  Also at about 7 bux US a box of 40 price wise is nice!!

I have never backed a kickstarter but I certainly would to help get some plastic figures into the late Roman period....and a few others.....I just need a decent explanation of what a kickstarter actually is!

A kickstarter in my experience is customers buying in to the project usually at different levels depending on how much of the products you want/can afford.

Then providing the initial spend goal is reached the project is funded and everything gets rolling. Then further spend goals usually mean bonuses for backers, with more bonuses for those who invested more. Some kickstarters have been really successful for both customer and company, while others not so much.

Depending on the experiences of who you talk to you'll get different feedback on the concept of kickstarters

Thanks Tyrion, I would not hesitate to back a company I already knew...Gripping Beast, Perry, Copplestone, Renegade-infact I trust most wargame companies

The GB saxon thegn helmets are pretty suitable for Post Roman/ Late roman armies.  The coppergate helmet is very similar in construction to helmets of the earlier period.
Wikipedia: "Like many other helmets of Germanic Western and Northern Europe in the Early Middle Ages the construction of Coppergate helmet is derivative of Late Roman helmet types."
The sculpts of the GB saxon helms do not have as elongated cheek flaps and nose guard as the actual coppergate. Slap those heads onto some GB dark age warriors and its a pretty suitable Post-Roman/late roman look.  Also There is the westwind arthurian heads that you can purchase and stick them on to wargamesfactory fyrd bodies or even the GB dark age bodies and GB hirdmen/thegns.
