I'd also like to see more poses for sword and buckler men (and other ranges where there's only the one pose).

Think I've already commented on S&B men and also mounted arquebusiers.

Major bump! Just bought the Furioso rules and the first Helion book. Watching Yarkshire Gamer doesn't help....

What would also be interesting - and as far as I know nobody does these in any scale let alone 10mm - are early C16th armed peasantry.

They would be ideal for the German Peasants Wars, the Cornish Rebellions and Pilgrimage of Grace etc. As well as providing additions to the Italian Wars conflicts. And you'd need literally 'fousands of em, sah!

You might need thousands of them you actually need them, but.... Will enough people actually want them?

They do sound quite handy, I must admit.

I agree - a very 'niche' range  :D

Artizan Miniatures do some really nice early C16th German Peasants revolt figure: https://www.artizandesigns.com/list.php?man=20&cat=165&page=1
Not a huge range (considering, as you say, you'd need 'fousands of em! to make an army) but they can be mixed in with both Wargames Foundry and Artizans Landsknechts, and the open-handed figures have a lot of uses in a skirmish type game (such as Frostgrave etc.).

There's nothing coming in our short-mid term plans I'm afraid, too many projects already on the go!

First announced, what, 18 months ago? 2 years? And they've only just released the first set of figures.

This has reminded me that I picked up the Ravenfeast Viking army pack - at last years Colours - and done nowt with them.


So, break them out, see what I can build (probably) using the Age of Fantasy: Regiments ruleset.

Can I find them? Nope, nowhere to be seen. Clearly I've put them somewhere very safe indeed.

Thank God! It's not just me. I've got a 15mm War and Empire Republican Roman Army tucked away somewhere so safe I can't find it at all! I've rummaged through box after box in the attic, can I find it? No.
I bought it about eight years ago, put it somewhere 'safe' about seven years ago and haven't seen it since! I mean come on the house isn't that big for goodness sake!
