"New good looking 15mm range on the market." Topic

I found these
battlevalorgames.com

It looks like it is a big range with a lot of figs. Looking forward to even more coming. I will be ordering soon!

Got some on order and excited to see them in the metal.

I'd like to see what else they've got. They look like they have potential.

Great looking figures, outstanding sculpts.

Like the elfs!

Damon.

Those are gonna hurt my wallet. Dragon Rampant anyone?

They look VERY promising.
I will definately be ordering when the rangers are ready.
Also i am happy to see you are doing casualties.

Nice collection of figures but the "renaming" of classic fantasy groups turns me quite off.

Three threads on this now;
See also TMP link
and
TMP link

for background to this new range.

They do look fine indeed. To my eye large 15mm (18mm) which is fine. I've signed up for the 10% discount earlier adopter and will place an order once some of the other imminent packs are available.

Being in the UK makes the shipping a bit of a pain. I'd be open to sharing an order with folk to reduce cost/customs etc.

As to the re-naming Mute Bystander – I know what you mean. I'm too old to be re-educated as to call a spade a spaderitus but I imagine for the producer the fluff for the gaming systems justifies the marketing tie-in enough to do so. I'd have like a more 'open' policy on fantasy gaming and systems as a whole. This would also apply to pack sizes. At 35 miniatures per pack that's overkill for the likes of Dragon Rampant or HOTT for example. I get that for some of the packs it means getting all the multiple pose options.

If anyone has scale comparison pics would be great (not that it bothers be with orcs and the like).

Watching with great interest indeed. Best of luck to 'Nick' the14thWarrior.

Well, the intent is for mass battle games but the "single figure/how many in a blister" is ideal debate has been going on since manufacturers began using Baggies, Blisters, etc…

Funny, postage is a added burden isn't it? That is one reason I stopped buying (Baccus, Brigade Models, GZG, and others) UK/Europe made figures.

Postage isn't a burden if you buy from US dealers (like me!). For example, get your Brigade Models fix stateside!

One thing I haven't seen mentioned, and which is a great selling point, is that his grunt-level troops generally have at least 30 DIFFERENT poses. His "Dwarian" (gee, I wonder what they could be ) Double Handed Axemen have 50 poses!

I'm too old to be re-educated as to call a spade a spaderitus…

If you are not going to be using his rules what difference does it make what he calls them. It's obvious what they are and you can just call the "Orcians" "Orcs" and be done with it.

This would also apply to pack sizes.

He is probably packaging figures based on his game. Give him a while to get his footing and he may beginning reducing package sizes.

Looking forward to seeing what some of the other races look like, the Bestians and Hissians in particular.

Time to break out the old ChipCo Fantasy Rules V2!

Oooh, I think I have those still, Heisler!

Thanks for reminding me…

Extra Crispy,

I will check them out but honestly I am thinking 3mm is the new 6mm (and I try and keep the AFVs out of my 15mm games.)

tberry7403,

True that but it still seems like a bit unnecessary detail. But if he is naming them for his rules that might make sense for his game rules. It still rubs me the wrong way but either I will accept it/buy the miniatures or I will use other sources.

I am still trying to see if they match the tone of my 25+mm figures enough to push me over the edge to buying.

I will be getting some of these. Looking forward to seeing the other races/factions.

I'll definitely be buying a bunch of these figures. Dislike the naming conventions (Orcians, etc), but I won't call them that. :-)

That is weird, since terms like 'dwarves' and 'undead' aren't exactly copyrighted. Still, I really like the style and the depth of each range is impressive!

Are Purians going to be a felinid race? If so I'm in. And what will be the difference between Stygians, Gillians and Hissians?

I blame the lack of teaching Greek and Roman suffixes and prefixes, let alone root words on such ambiguity.

Undead casualties markers = Excellent.
Looking forward to these. Always good to have more undead.
And more orcs.
Will there be any Asian style armies, I wonder?

Hi Everyone,
If you want to find out more join our facebook group. Search for Battle Valor Games. I will be posting new stuff here as it arrives first, and will also be putting lots of info up there. There is a Felinid race coming. Asian style armies include the Stygians (Mongols/Huns/Steppes), and the Dynastians (Chinese/Terracotta)for now.
Also if you create an account on the Battle Valor Games website currently (www.battlevalorgames.com), you receive a permanent 10% discount.

'Funny, postage is a added burden isn't it? That is one reason I stopped buying (Baccus, Brigade Models, GZG, and others) UK/Europe made figures.'

Sadly, postage charges have to be made as it costs money to send things across large bodies of water separating continents.

However…

…anyone buying figures from us in the USA actually gets them cheaper than UK customers. I know it sounds daft but its all down to VAT.

A UK customer buying £50.00 GBP of figures from us pays:

£50.00 GBP
Plus
£5.00 GBP (p&p)
Plus
£11.00 GBP (VAT)

for a total of £66.00 GBP

A US customer buying the same £50.00 GBP of figures pays:

£50.00 GBP
Plus
£12.50 GBP

For a total of £62.50 GBP

I know that there's no-one in the world likes to pay either postage or taxes, but given that both are unavoidable it's best to make the best of it, especially when you benefit from the system vis a vis others.

These look great. I'm going to have to place an order just to see how cool these are in person.

Hey, I'm not able to find the Facebook group. Could you send the link?

A Range after my own heart, fantastic stuff!

Can I beg you to do elves not in skirts???? if you do Wood Elvians I suggest looking more to a certain movie about 5 or 6 or maybe 4 armies than to a certain company that likes you to game, work or shop…..( oh and kudo's on giving them back quivers and not side quivers….)

The only thing that is really going to stop me buying a lot of these figures is the large pack size.
We all know how hard it is to stick to something and get whole armies finished and i believe that is one of the main reasons that games like Saga, Lion/Dragon Rampant etc have been so sucessful in recent years.
Maybe it would be possible to also offer smaller "skirmish" packs with a slightly higher price per figure such as Ral Partha Europe are doing with the Demonworld/Blighthaven minis.

There will be Wood Elves of a sort at some point and they will NOT have skirts.

Facebook Group. Search for Battle Valor Games in your facebook search bar and it should pop right up

Yay! Very excited about these. Good timing!

Facebook does not make it easy to find a Group (unless you joined it already…pah).

Before making your search nevais select 'Groups' then search from there.

I put in an order for a couple of packs. Once I get them, I will share some pictures and thoughts on my blog and will link it here for everyone to see.

Can't wait to get them. They do look impressive.

This is why I love and hate tmp ;)

I don't play 15mm fantasy…and now I want too…these minis look great….and I would have been blissfully unaware and never known about these if not for landlor and this post.

Unghhh I need another genre to paint like I need a hole in the head. The voices are calling me to pick up a ton of these.

I caved…..I'm going to try and convert those frigians to space Vikings…and use them as raiders

Space Vikings!? Cool, keep us informed.

Some nice looking minis from BSV but I do hope they consider making some smaller packs available, similar to the RPE Blighthaven ones, as has been mentioned here and in other sources. That would appeal to many of us, I imagine, as samplers or as boosters for army builders.

Anyway, hope it's successful.

Cheers,
RC.

Hi Everyone,
I have now made half packs, containing 16 miniatures (no command), available on the website, as well as separate command packs containing 15 miniatures.
Half packs, as they become available will contain 16 Infantry, 8 Cavalry, or 5 Big Guys (Ogre Sized Creatures).
Not everything will be available as half packs, just where it makes sense.
Thanks

Perfect
Can you post a picture with one miniature from each race next to one another for scale comparison?

Thanks

I have to agree that the naming conventions are a pita and seems forced. Especially when you have Decian (Undead faction) Werewolves.

That said, the minis (for the most part) seem nice.

The names are just for the background of the world. We all know what they are right.

Glad you like the mini's, many more to come.

14th: thanks for the half pack option; helps those of us who play HotT out a bit.
Can't wait to see them in the flesh.

Thanks a lot for nothing! Now i have no reason left not to order some.

Cheers
p.s. A half pack of Legian Rangers would be very welcome. Rangers suit skirmish games and i am guessing not many gamers need large units of them.

Thank you Sir for the half packs. I will be getting more of these now. -Paul

Welcome, glad to be able to do this for you guys. Rangers will be available as a Half Pack as well, once they get released, as will most basic infantry packs.

Just got my dwarves in and they are just awesome. Turnaround time was fantastic. Communication was excellent. I will get more of these. Really happy with the dwarves.

Glad you like them. Cavalry should be available soon!

Going the right way to make a lot of friends 14th Warrior (Ed). 1/2 packs a great idea. I'll be putting in an order as soon as some of those rather nice character packs are released – in the UK so need to allow for taxman and postage :-( otherwise I'd be in there already.

Elite Wargames and Models have the Jacobite Range of 15mm Fantasy figures.

@jclaxton, I agree! I've been looking for dwarves that appeal to me in this scale for years, and Battle Valor seem to fit the bill. They are short, but still seem like they can take care of themselves.

14th warrior. I have just registered but when I tried to sign in it just put me right back to the sign in page. Do I have to wait for the account to be set up or should I be able to shop right away?
