Looks like some very intersting new stuff on the horizon. The stuff I have so far is painting up very well.

Keen to see how the kisir sharruti will differ from Neo Hittites in the Assyrian range.

Some more details on releases and hobby info wpuld be good Steve. Or mabey that will spoil the surprise?

Steve At Immortal Miniatures19 Oct 2009 12:43 p.m. PST

New figures will be here tomorrow hopefully (I wont get them painted until Wednesday!) Ive got 3 various kings chariots on the desk at the moment… Im going to try and get as much out before Christmas as possible.
Im in the middle of a 'how to make' an adobe building article this week too, which may be ready by the weekend.

Ah Steve. Now I am even more curious about what the 3 chariots are etc.
Ok I will be patient.

Hoplites, hoplites, hoplites!!!

Just noticed some very nice new stuff on website. Love the animation on the Mesoptamian slingers.

Does anybody have comparison shots of these next to Gorgon or Crusader? The figures are interesting but I don't know about the size.

Valendir23 Oct 2009 12:22 p.m. PST

I received them , they are very well sculpted. Another nice point is that you can customize them, as you receive (at least for the hoplites) several different right arms, so that you can choose to make them with spear upright or fighting with spear overarm.

Regarding size, they are small. And thin. Dont try to mix them with Gorgon or Crusader. Sizewise, they are more like a thiner version of the WG romans. I'll send you a picture.

Valendir25 Oct 2009 9:47 a.m. PST

Ok, here it is : 4 pictures of size comparison. After all, immortal is not that small, but thin. It is mainly noticeable with the persian and with the greek head .

It might be possible to mix them with foundry after all (not in the same unit though) . I'll paint the hoplites and let you know.

Steve At Immortal Miniatures25 Oct 2009 10:27 a.m. PST

Thanks for the comparison, its very useful! Im pleased with how the Hoplite sits with the others.
The Persian looks quite flat in the picture, I think this is because he doesn't have his spear arm on.

Valendir25 Oct 2009 10:41 a.m. PST

True, his spear arm should help a bit. The other pose in the pack is a bit less flat too. But definitely, he should eat more – no wonder they lost against those bulky overfed greeks ! Anyway, i guess that once he will be hiding behind his spara, it is gonna be ok.

I was initially more worried about the hoplites, to be honest. But I was happily surprised by the size comparison.

Mick in Switzerland25 Oct 2009 11:59 a.m. PST

Dear Valendar,
I am pleasantly surprised. It looks like you could mix them.
Regards
Mick

Just noticed unit deals are now on offer. A very good idea IMHO. A works in progress/greens page would be nice.
