I wrongly assumed 28mm as well. Those are amazing figures. |
Rebelyell2006 | 16 Sep 2014 4:52 a.m. PST |
Those look great. Do they plan on having a distributor in America? |
clibinarium | 16 Sep 2014 5:02 a.m. PST |
Those are first class. Though they might want to thicken the musket rests a bit before casting. |

But once again with distorted anatomical proportions: namely the now almost universal severely foreshortened calfs. Try blocking out a figure below the knee with your hand; looks normal,right? Now picture in your mind's eye where the foot should be based on reasonable anatomical accuracy (not necessarily perfectly reflective of real people), then take your hand away. Weird, yes? Often on contemporary miniatures the bottom of the foot is about where the ankle should start; on these it might be even higher. 'Tis pity, as they are indeed very well sculpted. |

Henry Martini, I wonder if that is to keep them from being so easy to break off at the calves? Did anybody find a way to order some of these? I looked so i could check postage to the USA, but cant find a way to order some of them. MAybe to new , but you would think they would want to be selling them. or am i just being a Luddite and cant find it Owen |

Wow those look great, I thought they 28mm, too bad |

@Clibanarium, you are right. We'll correct that at the foundry for the production moulds. @Henry, The "calzon", the trouser, was tied below the knee covering part of the calf. It was a looser, longer atire than the XVIII century one. We have tried to represent the look the better we could. Anyway we have to make some concesions to the scale. @badger22 The webshop is no uploaded yet. In fact we are a bit surprised of the reaction to the figures. Overwhelmed is the word :) Some more news soon. Thank you a lot!!! |

Totentanz, I've been working on a similar project, the Spanish of the earlier part of the 80 Years' War, so I've been having to deal with issues like the musket rest. These sculpts really are lovely I think you'll do well. |

Just got some samples from warmodeling in spain. Great figures and warmodeling now has all ten packs. I have a couple of questions for totentanz. Pack 05 are they supposed to be dragoons as on the warmodeling site they list them as "skirmishing calivermen" Pack 07 are they pikemen in floppy hats or are they offficers? Thanks William |
Totentanz Miniatures | 26 Nov 2014 11:42 a.m. PST |
Pack 5 are calivermen in "skirmish", the gun is bit bigger to proxy them as dragoons or commanded shot Pack 7 are pikemen in breast and back armour and plummed hats, the sculptor shoot them with polearms for test. Sorry for the confusion. |
WKeyser | 28 Nov 2014 3:45 a.m. PST |
Hi Totentanz Just ordered 24 packs from Warmodeling, now we need some cavalry and any others that you release. Do you have a plan for December releases? THanks William |

They look like they will match Khursans 30YW figs also the tustudo figs formally from italy. William |

to me henry the arms look like they are a little too long, which is a shame because otherwise they looks great! the too short legs thing is an optical illusion caused by the clothing i think. but some of the models definitely have chimp arms…… |
Totentanz Miniatures | 16 Dec 2014 3:34 a.m. PST |
Yes, there is a couple figures with overstreched arms (just 2 mm but in this scale this is noticeable) and there is another couple the clothing makes them looks so. Thank you a lot for the comments. |
conflans | 26 Jan 2015 6:37 a.m. PST |
Does anyone know where to order these figures? the Warmodelling site has been down for some time now. Thanks. |
