What are people buying?

I got the PSC BoB pack some time ago as well. A very unusual mix.

I've just taken advantage of the Warlord Games 50% discount on selected sprues. The wonderful WL chaps are selling me thirty figure 18thC (WSS) battalions for a little over a tenner each. Huzzah!

There be Zulu sprues included in the sale, if anyone is interested.

Those are the old Wargames Factory designs aren't they? I picked up some of the AWI offerings and they are awful.

[FreddBloggs]

The WSS are not bad, the guns are nice.

Before I get accused of being a Perry Fanboi, I'm glad someone else thinks that. They look like body-builders at a history pageant.

Well, the infantry were very nice, but the cavalry were pretty bad, as I recall.

[FreddBloggs]

Never got the cavalry, Ebor Miniatures suborned me.

[BaronVonWreckedoften]

Now they are good - been tempted by them a few times, but managed to resist.

[Essex Boy]

The Warlord WSS infantry and guns (ex Wargames Factory) are very good I think. The cavalry are abominations.

My only criticism of the infantry is that the 'command' figure options result in rather awkward looking characters. I'd like to use metal alternatives, but I'm not sure what would 'fit'.

Any suggestions?

[FreddBloggs]

I'll dig some out and see.

Anything plastic in 28mm is an abomination and flies in the face of the natural order of the universe in my opinion.
