"Red box Tudors coming!" Topic

PSR says:

Also new are four boxes from RedBox. They are:

72156 – Tudor Billmen and Men-At-Arms
72157 – Tudor Pikemen
72158 – Scottish Army mid XVI century Light/Heavy Infantry
72159 – Scottish Army mid XVI century Pikemen
While release dates are not known, past form for these manufacturers suggests all will appear at retailers very soon.

Yes! Pass me my cheque book! Soon !

Sad. If this had happened maybe even five years ago, my armies would look different. As it stands, that train long ago left the station.

robert Piepenbrink, that, sadly, is always true in this hobby. :-(

I started out using a Milton Bradley board game's figures for the bulk of my early fantasy armies. I sold those off, to raise money for a charity. I ended up replacing all of those armies with new toys (and better sized figures, actually).

I've been buying up figures to build various armies, using different manufacturers, but I am always finding better figures, several times each year, than what I have in my current armies. Other figures that I sold off, that I really enjoyed, are now OOP and unobtainable.

The future is so bright, these young'un's will need to wear shades… They can get/make STL files, and scale these digital files to the precise size they want/need. Heck, even us old farts could chuck everything we have, and replace them with custom-sized 3D printed figures if we really wanted to (and we had the time and money to build out new armies using this new technology -- and less brittle resin, $$$$)!

You have to close your eyes, and pull the trigger. Then, of course, you have to live with your choices, and try to be happy with them. LOL!

I am happy with my choices, mostly. I miss a number of special figures I sold off. I could replace them (I think -- I haven't sourced them for several years, now, so not certain they're still made…), but I've decided they're not worth the money, nor the effort. Cheers!

I recall an article years ago -- believe it was in an issue of Practical Wargamer; of a "what-if" game wherein the Spanish Armada made landfall on the English coast and was able to put ashore the Spanish invasion force.

Beautifully-painted figures and lush terrain. Always thought that would be a great project to undertake.

I remember that article dBerzerk! But my great, never to be accomplished project, would be to find a handful of ships and some sea dogs and do port raids--singing the beard of the King of Spain and generally being new episodes of "The Adventures of Sir Francis Drake."

I thought Red Box would round out their range – they usually do – their WOTR is way too much I'm glad to say! Their Moscow/Ukraine/China/Korea renaissance range is so vast that I couldn't dive in, too much but if it was my main interest how splendid!

The already available Tudors looked super, as soon as the full range can be got I'm in ! Whether I can get them painted waits to be seen.

And now I can't spell "singe." I've got to get a decent night's sleep.

Probably not in June.
