I have some of their 10mm Early imperial Romans and thecargers are literally head an shoulders above the legionaries.

I believe they have used different sculptors within some ranges resulting in these anomalies.

Also the Steve Barber 10mm ranges are up for grabs as well. Excellent figures, but
Not completely compatible with Pendraken. Also some ranges are not complete, although I guess a buyer could get Steve to make the masters they wanted

The Chariot 15 mm range are lovely figures.

I was looking at those the other day, what makes them less than compatible?

I've mixed them quite happily with Pendrakens (Zulu and Numidian figures).

I use all Steve Barbers figures in the same army but not the same units. They are a little bulkier and shields are fractionally larger.

OK so I could use the germans as barbarians then

Thanks

Yes, They are lovely figures, so much so I keep looking at buying a Germanic Army, before he sells it. Despite having 4 other ancient 10m armies to paint

Quote from: John Cook on 21 January 2024, 10:52:59 AMJust out of interest, if it isn't 'commercial in confidence', how much did they want for the entire 10mm range?

Not allowed to say I'm afraid!

Are you permitted to say "I'm a bit nervous"?

Fair enough, I thought that might be the case.

Corrected orriginal post (in red)

It's the 10mm prehistorics I'll miss 

...not that I ever got round to buying more than a couple of "essentials" due to the price!

I picked up some more Magister Militum Crimean War figures (British and Russian) on discount from Scale Creep in the US.

I have a feeling we won't see any of these ranges again anytime soon.

I had an email from MM today:

BREAKING NEWS!!

We are very pleased to announce the new owners of Battleground buildings and scenery which includes the much loved Ian Weekley range.

As you'll remember, the scales cover 3mm, 6mm, 10mm, 15mm, some 20mm and 28mm bunkers to battlements, castles to cottages!

The new owners are just getting set up for casting and your orders, so please bear with them whilst they do that and then please continue to be great customers for them as you were for us!!

We wish Neil and Total System Scenic every success as they become property moguls!

Today's anopuncement.
We are very pleased to announce Heroics & Ros as the new owners of Mainforce 6mm figures
which have long complimented GHQ & all 6mm ranges.

Thanks fsn, that could be useful to know as H&R don't update thier website that much with new additions. They tend to use thier Facebook page instead,but I don't have a FB account....rely on Mrs Shy when I need to see something on FB   

Good to see ranges staying in production when a manufacture decides to close.
