French or British??

Correct Answer: Both

I like them both for potential rough riders. The brits are superficially better for Praetorians, but I simply adore the look of the French lancers...

Definitely!

Green stuff some little gas masks on to the front of horses and you are set

The LRDG trucks do look great, but Warlord resin vehicles (at least the ones I have bought) tend to take a lot of work. I recently got some resin stuff from JTFM/Die Waffenkammer which has convinced me Warlord does not deserve any more of my $$$ for resin stuff.

Very true for the older kits Warlord bought when they bought the Bolt Action range.
However their newer resin kits (the ones designed in-house) are fantabulous. Manchu, you have several of the newest tanks, right? Can you chime in?

I have a good mix of new and old. The older stuff can be a terrible pain with lots of resin blocks that just need to be sheared off. The newer stuff is gorgeous and needs very little work. For example, I have the M24 which looks about as good out of the box as it does in these promotional pics.

I have stuff from him, as well. It's great. The downside is, poor comms and long waits.

I've never had the slightest interest in any Napoleonic models or Napoleonic gaming. These, though... the question is do I get two boxes or four? ...and do I paint them historically appropriate, or as French-inspired fantasy troops?

Ditto to JTFM miniatures. I do tend to order knowing that I will have to wait for months but as my life is often extended periods working overseas it works well for me and I've never been disappointed with Jeff's stuff.

I've only had a few problems intermittently with warlords resin tanks so 2 times out of around 20+ purchases so not bad going at all. Shifting over from a forgeworld addiction its been a positive experience regarding quality as its been comparable. Getting the incorrect parts or missing parts is another problem completely...............

Sorry guys been slacking on posting updates

PRE ORDER: M10 TANK DESTROYER/WOLVERINE



http://www.warlordgames.com/pre-order-m10-tank-destroyerwolverine/

Soon to appear on the shores of Italy and on into Europe comes the plastic M10 Tank destroyer!



The M10 was also widely used by the British, who called it the Wolverine. As such the kit includes parts to make both American and British crewmen as well as decals for both nations.

This plastic set comes complete with choice of US or British crew plus extensive decal sheets to gear up your tank hunters for action!

I will be getting a lot of those Agincourt French, they are a decent match for Wars of Independence Scottish infantry, with the appropriate equipment options at least, and considerably cheaper than metals.

Are Warlord selling Perry miniatures then?

Have to say between those guys they are the top dangers to me having a 'no new project' clause at the moment.

Hundred Years War and winter themed US vs. Wermacht have a bloody beautiful miniature range going for them.

Warlord sell Perry, Victrix, Gripping Beast, and Conquest Games...and have done for as long as i can remember.. basicallty anything that fits into their gaming systems. Though there are a few of the boxes listed as sold out. They even sell Revel's Viking ship for Hail Caesar.

That's the same Perry English Army box that's been around for some time, right?

Yup, I think they were just reminding everyone about that set and that there's now three sets available for HYW.

The foot knights box is new its made up of the knights from the French and English boxes. So you can get them without all those stinky men at arms

I am holding out for a biog box Agincourt set.

You reckon that's likely to arrive Manchu?

I would love that to be the case.

Hm, good point. Perhaps I should hold off buying these to see if they'll do a big box.

I guess it depends on how well the Civil War box did. Seems to have done pretty well so fingers crossed for Agincourt!

 Manchu wrote:

In anycase I wouldn't expect to see one until after they get the cavalry out, though hopefully in the meantime they do a WotR box (as they already have all the required plastics).

As an owner of the American Civil War box set, I can tell you that it is one of the coolest and most exciting miniatures/wargame things I've ever gotten. It reminded me of the same feeling of the late 90's through early 2000's of opening a GW box set and being confronted by a TON of miniatures - but this one is all Perry sculpts

If you even have a passing interest in ACW you should get the Battle In A Box. Awesome figures and awesome terrain and that looks like a fun quick ruleset.

Hey guys if you ever wanting a 1/56 hetzer now's the time. Warlord is selling their hetzer's at %50 off, so they're basically $16.

Keep in mind this is only from the warlord website, but since any order over a $100 gets you free shipping all you need is a couple infantry boxes or an army deal like the winter grenadiers bundle and you'll be set.

NWS has them on sale too in the US: http://yhst-12000246778232.stores.yahoo.net/boacmadmahas.html

Same price, but you will have to add shipping.

I already owned a Hetzer and very much considered buying more to make a Hetzer platoon...

FYI Italeri announced a plastic 1/56 Churchill Mk.III/IV/AVRE/NA75

Is the Warlord resin Hetzer any good? The Rubicon one is only a few bucks more, and I have been burned with Warlord resin vehicles.

It's an earlier model but for $16 it's totally worth it if you can make it to free shipping.

Unless you want a gaggle of Hetzers, I'd go for the Rubicon one. The WLG Hetzer is fine but not great.

Here are a couple of pics of mine (WLG):It does come with a mounted MG but I still haven't got around to putting it on.

I got a reply from Alan telling me that it's "a bit soon for that", so that more or less confirms the cavalry. Maybe crossbows as well.

My wallet is in no rush.

How spotty was the cast on your Hetzer? I was very disappointed in mine and it came in the first starter box of Germans as well.

Mine also came from the stater box. Not sure what you mean by spotty. There were no pits or other abrasions on the surface of the model. I'd say the biggest issue was the somewhat crude detail, especially compared to what is on offer in new resin kits from WLG.
