They do have plenty of character, but hitting a period and scale which is already saturated (Both Naps and Gothic Horror/Fantasy) they might have difficulty getting traction

I suspect with the rules and buying as a bundle, they’ll do alright.

I might pick up some of the Spanish and French to supplement existing. Haven’t decided on the rules yet

I like the figures, especially the way you can tell the nationality without checking
Looks like Joe McCullough has been reading/watching Jonathan Strange.....

I know nothing about the rules though...are they another Frostgrave "clone"?

I believe so. Which is why I think the bundles will do ok

I have a sum total of one experience playing Frostgrave, and that was with GM back before the world fell. November ‘18?

Something like that. Bloody hell that was a long time ago

I'm sure you're right about that, but apart from a brief burst of launcethusiasm the others seem to have dropped off in popularity fairly quickly. (I'd probably exclude RoSD from that).
At least with North Star behind them the figures won't disappear even if it was a massive flop.

I've been quietly amassing some figures for a "Witcher world" setting for RoSD, I might even have enough to break my non playing habit and get started with a game or two :O

1809 Austrians v Bavarians already in my painting queue.

(Likely to remain there for a while, but it's the thought that counts.)

I also managed to find some Foundry Jaeger and Grenze on fleabay so they have been added to the stash. Now I'm just tossing up whether to round off the Austrian forces with Perry or Foundry. It might just come down to postage...
