Announcing our next hard plastic release...Numidians!

Besides being both enemy and ally to Rome...we think you're going to find this set OH so useful for your ancient and fantasy gaming!

First, a bit of eye candy:

I like how they did this, a body and arm sprue and then a weapon sprue. And guys in tunics with sandles can be all sorts of things from a lot of eras, they can even be medieval civilans.

As for prices... $3 for the body sprue, $2 for the weapons.

Nice.

Great find. Add some lasguns and they could be the poolboy regiment. Paint the tunics one bright color and the legs another bright color and they could be the 80's aerobics regiment.

Hmm, the models kind of seem to lack the sharp edges (look at the swords for example). also the robes and such look off, must probably be the 3d printer machine or something. Sculpted and casted miniatures are for now (in my humble opinion) still superior to the 3d printer stuff.

Look solid to me. The anatomy is much more realistic than most larger game mini manufacturers.

The tunic bodies also look suitable for Romans. Particularly peltasts, camp or supply train population or other light infantry.

I really like they they keep expanding the historical plastics range. I look forward to seeing their Germans (but kinda wonder how different they would be from Celts, really, other than slightly different shields).

I like the direction they are going in, plan to buy some of their romans in the near to immediate future, might add a box or two of these to run skirmish screen.

Hope they get to macedon and thrace someday.

Bigger beards. More furs. A grimmer, more exisitental weltanschaung.

Weltanschauung...

Anyone have size comparison pic with GW stuff?

They are slightly smaller, and it's really not noticable. I'm still trying to figure out a way to cross the Romans with something to get a totally playable army for 40k.

I would think the SW players would jump on the wolf headed romans.

Easily compatable with Fantasy/Historicals.

Those bodies would make nice penal legion soldiers...

Your wish my dear Lunahound is my command . There are size comparison shots between the Wargames Factory Celt chariot and GW parts here and a full review of the Chariots is being written by me on the P&M forum it's buried in their somewhere. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/240437.page

Heres the Bodies

Heads

Arms

Weapons


The heads and bodies are fairly comparable its the weapons and hands that cause the problems hope this helps

Nope, dont find these sprues good, the plastic is so unsharped that everything screams I'm melting!

You could always argue its cheap but ATM I rather spend more on better stuff than collect tons of bad sprues.

Yet to see something good from WF.

Numidians?

This is madness!

They should be making...




























SPARTANS!!!

Honestly, the average gamer would be all over spartans, but numidians is a pretty specific ancient army to worry about collecting.

Crocodile Games W_Gonads... although metal regiments.

That is the "Only" thing I don't like about Croc's minis is they are all metal. Fitz and his group make some nice sculpts.

You do realize most of Games Workshop's miniatures are made via 3D Printers, right?...

You do realize that you just necro'd a thread that's closing in on being 6 months old, right?
