I bought some of their Macedonians when they were released and they were a bit "meh" but those vikings are stunning with a great paintjob.Shahbahraz wrote: ↑Sat May 16, 2020 3:58 pm Yes, they have quite a good ancients range now. And some of the ranges are really stunning.

Re: What's on your workbench?
I've got a load of Macs to do as well. Think they suffer from boring poses... But will paint up fine... One day...

Excellent! Am I right in thinking that he's the same sculptor wot used to do the joint 'Command Decision' range of WW2 infantry for Skytrex & Old Glory? The FiB WW2 infantry are certainly very similar in style to the old CD figures.Shahbahraz wrote: ↑Sat May 16, 2020 3:58 pmYes, they have quite a good ancients range now.

Re: What's on your workbench?
After debasing & rebasing 600+ Airfix Romans & Britons, I have just 8 chariots to paint, but today I've been debasing 19thC 30mm S/Smiths, to be rebased for AGW. After this, no more de & re basing. I'm fed up with it.

Re: What's on your workbench?
To be honest. I really don't know, but it looks to me like the Vikings are one of the best ranges they do. I also got their Late Romans and they are nice, with again, loads of variety, but the Vikings he seems to have gone crazy on. I haven't actually counted properly, but there are at least 10 variants in their Huscarles I have painted so far.RMD wrote: ↑Sat May 16, 2020 6:12 pmExcellent!

Re: What's on your workbench?
My workbench has...
15mm Republican Romans
28mm WW2 French
And I'm repainting the bases on the troops Purps used at Ayron last year so they match mine.

Re: What's on your workbench?
If you were buying 15s again now Mark what infantry would you buy? Mine are all FOW and I want to add a few - thinking I want some Wrussians, some British paras and probably some Andies .... err I mean FallschirmjagersRMD wrote: ↑Sat May 16, 2020 6:12 pmExcellent!

Re: What's on your workbench?
I must admit that I haven't looked at what's available in years, because I've already got everything I need. However the remodelled Peter Pig British and Polish Airborne were really good the last time I looked (which was about ten years ago).valleyboy wrote: ↑Sat May 16, 2020 9:58 pmIf you were buying 15s again now Mark what infantry would you buy?

Re: What's on your workbench?
How does one debase a Roman. Is that clipping a curl of gold off the edge of the base and melting it down to sell? Curious people want to know.
