Ciao belli!
I have a vague passing idea (the last one resulted in 6000pt of Skaven and 7 15mm sci-fi armies….) to put together a 28mm force of Samurai
Stronghold came to my attention from this link together with many other manufacturers.

Having exhausted my TMP-fu to find older opinions of this business before it went bust (is that still the case?!?) I'd like to know does anyone have any of the miniatures listed in this link (http://www.stronghold-miniatures.co.uk/html/25mm_hist.pdf)? If so can you share some pictures/experiences? How well will these mix with other manufactuers? Are they worth the 100-odd GBP asked for 30 cav and 120 foot? What will the composition of said pack be if anyone's bought any? Lastly, any tips from anyone who's bought these figures about what some high and low points of the line are? Thanks for any tips

I've been on the site before, but even after browsing around I can't find any working links to the samurai range, I can't find pictures of it in the gallery, and I can't find info in whether the company is alive or not. If it is still alive I would be happy to check it out, but until then I wish some people why want to sell something online made a little more effort. |

I sent him an email a week ago asking was he still trading, got no reply yet. |

I dont think he is trading any longer due to ill health if I recall, saw him at shows a few years ago but not recently |

Punkskum , I used to own 300+ Stronhold samurai. While the variety of poses is huge the moulds themselves are horrendous. They are taller and thinner than Dixon samurai. They wouldnt match well with Old Glory samurai. I sold all of mine but I may have a picture of one figure I can post. Ill check tonight. |
