Good products, but the company doesn't pay its bills. frown

While I agree that it is not right for people to avoid paying bills,it doesn't seem right that Robbie, the current owner of Xyston should get defamed in absentia for someone else's delinquent behaviour. Contact details are right there on the Xyston or Scotia Grendel websites. Why not get in touch and see if he can help sort things out for you in some way (maybe he can help find the original owner or find some way to bury this hatchet)?

If you've already had a conversation with him recently and gotten nowhere, then I am sorry to hear that. But Robbie is a good chap, and never failed to pay me when I worked for him, so it has to be worth a try, surely?

Anyone know when the Baueda figs will be available for purchase. I have been checking their website and still do not see them as available. Absolutely will buy bunches when able.

Thanks

Are the Xyston ones 15mm? Their sense of scale has never been very precise and I much prefer middle-ish 15mm (Chariot, Essex, Mirliton etc.) …

Received my Indegogo set a couple of weeks ago, so they should be available real soon now. Very nice figures, truly Essex compatible, less detail than Essex, but well suited to modern wash and shading painting techniques.

Enough with the praise for the Steroid Abusing Xyston. None of their figures I ever bought were truly 15mm, some of the largest 18mm ones I ever saw.

Bill as a "One Man Band" really doesn't have the resources to pursue every delinquent account, he does a fantastic job keeping the web site up and running.

Don't like the Gladii they are using there. Semm a bit misshaped. As well, there seem to be no daggers and the hands seem to need a drill to get the pilus in – a rather nasty work if you need to supply >100 Figures :/

In case you missed it, they are out now!

Caesar Legionaries advancing (Montefortino helmet and gladius Hispaniensis)

Xyston are truly beautiful miniatures but they are considerably larger, which obviously allows for more detail… our figures are made specifically to match Essex in size and proportions:


Comparison with Essex

cheers!
