" 25mm Old Glory Gauls/Celts" Topic

Being an inveterate figure mixer (from different manufacturers) I opened three bags of Old Glory Gallic figures to continue a long term painting project. I have already painted some Crusader Celts and wanted to stir these guys in.

1) They match very well with the beefy Crusaders.
2) The separate Old Glory hands, with spears, swords or 'standards' are an extra step, but epoxy, small drills and files have them attached.
3) I almost always replace cast swords and spears with hammered wire, but lo and behold, the swords are spot on and lovely. If I get breakage, will drill out and replace. The spears will still get replaced upfront.
4) Sculpting is excellent, and the infantry command are a major value, the non trumpet blowers(whatever you call those horn things)are usable in many ways and are beautiful.
5) critiques and wish list would be to cast indents on hands intended for spears (so a dremel won't wander off) and that one or two poses lean forward too far. My belief is that all figures should be able to stand upright without adjustment or gluing to a larger stand.

Assessment: These are really good figures, and might make me buy even more (I only have about 200 unpainted Gauls to go. I have the Spanish and elephants done for a
Carthaginian army, but it looks like i'll be spending a while on a bunch of Celts.

My OG figures consistently impress me, and especially for the price, cannot be beaten.

I have a bunch of their OTHER Celts (Gallic Wars rather than Punic Wars) so they don't have the separate hands. Otherwise, your review is spot on for them too. No idea how well they mix, but they are great little figures. The packs are differentiated by dress: Tunic, bare chest, tunic & helmet, bare chest & helmet, or naked (mixed headgear) depending on your preferred mode of dress.

They also have a couple of packs of Franks (w/spear, w/axe) that are lovely: I actually joined the OG Army to buy them even though I didn't need them. I just wanted them.

I really like Old Glory figures too. The Republican Romans could use some additions (another set or two of gladius and pilum figures would be great for Caesar's era – more throwing for the latter and stabbing for the former as opposed to rushing forward TO the fight).

The Celts are awesome and I like the ones without the separate hands better, to be honest (give them a try!).

The horn is a called a Carnyx, by the way.
