Anyone makes bronze age Europeans (i.e. not Greeks or something), apart from the Foundry?

I need a cheap(er) alternative.

Thanx

are they cheaper?

Yes: eight for six pounds, compared to six for eight pound fifty ( I'm not sure of current Foundry prices in first-born male children ) .

The Amazon figures are a bit more bulky, and not as naturally posed. Probably due to my poor sketches for the concept…

But there's good variation, with separate weapons and lots of head variations, and they rank up well.

You can also try doing conversions. I used a bit of "Green Stuff" modeling putty to put suitable kilts on what were a couple of Warrior Miniatures naked Celtic fanatics.

When I plugged in link I got -- "Buy this Domain."

Do I take it that Amazon Minis has gone the way of the Dodo Bird? Pity… Like the original requester, am searching for an alternative to Foundry to do an army of this sort…

Revived after 15 years – is that a thread record?

I really miss Allen- a sad loss. He was a great mentor to me on ancient wargaming subjects.

At the time we worked together, we spoke occasionally of wargaming, but my interests then were in 15mm Napoleonics, so never shared a game. Allen also did not exactly get along with some of my "team." When I left CA, we lost touch…

Kind'a got off track talking about the late Mr. Curtis, and how old the thread… But the question remains valid:

Anyone makes [sic] bronze age Europeans (i.e. not Greeks or something), apart from the Foundry?

Forgot to say, in 28mm, obviously!! grin
