While more nice models is always nice, the name is a bit dramatic innit? Or do I need to get my cynical hat on and understand that its a direct play for mistaken custom from Reaper Miniatures?

Other than the fact it's just going to be his name attached to them, I'm not certain what this is going to bring to the market.

There was a Wargames Illustrated article recently that talked about the fact there are too many rulebooks for the same games, I think the same applies to tabletop miniature games.

Imagine people bringing out anything to do with the miniatures hobby, then trying to flog it in an already heavily saturated market. Imagine the horror of having choice. Just get rid of it all I say. I think we should prune the hobby down to just Army Painter and Humbrol paints only. We'll let GW carry on making miniatures, as long as they bring back Mordhiem as a classic game only. Airfix used to make some models used for wargaming, so I guess they can keep on going, warlord games and battlefront will have to drop off. Sorry Duncan, your models and paints are too new, as will anyone else that is selling paints.

Presumably because they wanted the company to have Duncan's initials and couldn't think of a more appropriate 'R' word...

I for one am looking forward to see what Duncan brings out. Hope he does well, it must be tough starting a miniature line at this time. A niche product with a saturated market. When manufacturing was an issue before, now it’s overwhelming stl flood that we see. Hopefully this range stands out.

The name is quite lame though could’ve gone for Double Riddling for maximum edge.

Looking at the silhouettes in the video, I would expect a Fantasy game (please be a Mordheim-like game )

My point exactly, it does seem a little bit of an odd direction mind as I would have thought his bigger market would have been teaching painting. But then this might be Trans Atlantis Games pushing it, unless Death Reaper Games is someone else using Duncan Rhodes to push their product?

Or is a subsidiary of Trans Atlantis Games.....

Now I feel like I'm going down a rabbit hole

Yeah, he looks like Strongheart without the helmet wings, but you know what? I'm okay with that. I like that he's detailed but not over-designed. He reminds me of a Dungeons & Lasers NPC that would be a fun, relaxing paint.

It's a bog standard knight mini that looks like it came out of the old 80s D&D toy line. I hope they're not going to try and milk every single mini with its own video.
