It came with the Kickstarter but is available now:

And I may have a copy going spare

Mine arrived as well, although I’ll wait until virtual Vappa to unwrap them.

Very tempting.. I suppose they would also work well with small numbers using Lion Rampant or similar... lovely looking sculpts... must resist... would work for the 1st Scottish War of Independence too... anyone sized them up against the Claymore Castings now Antidiluvian range?

Just bought the Christmas present I couldn't get in December, I found someone selling the Lion Rampant Crusades book on Ebay.

Both ranges are sculpted by Paul Hicks so i'd suspect that they're compatible, but i'll look some out later and check

It's very good! I got the restocked one from Northstar just after Chrimbo. Perhaps we might have a game on fine Ayton?

I have a copy too and plenty of suitable but unpainted figures. A lot of the Barons War figures are, of course, suitable too

I've decided to ignore Barons War, if I dont I'm going to get drawn in and I feel like if you didnt back the kickstarter youre too late and not in the club. Nope, I've 4 pointy sticks periods and thats enough!

I've had a look and the Barons War figures are mostly the same height but noticeably beefier than the Claymore Castings figures. Some of the BW characters seem taller as well.
However, given that people are different size the discrepencies are not enough to worry me about mixing them in a game.

Comparison photo: Claymore on the left, Barons War (Footsore) on the right.

The Barons War figures fit in with the crusades too so you get a two for one

I did rather want one of those, hopefully EUP will get around to another run.

Thanks Paul, I'm like you, I wouldn't mind mixing them in the same unit, but I probably wouldn't have them separate or one base/unit would be like: "oi.. fat boy, who are all the pies?"

Just picked up a Warlord Stuart. It's the Konflikt version with a Tesla cannon. The plain, vanilla one will be perfectly acceptable in Kumbaya and fits my current theme of using US war surplus for the KLF. Now I need to convince the others not to field any guns bigger than 37mm.
