Looks like some interesting figure lines. I went to the link and the site is in German, so it means nothing to me. I wonder if any distributors in the U.S. or U.K. will be picking them up.

It took me a few seconds to notice it (since I did not have my glasse on), but there is a British flag icon for English speakers/readers on the lower right side. After that, click on "28mm miniatures".

Nice figures. Definitely on my list.

I wish I could save the English page on my favorites, but this one always comes up as a default:

More gangers to go with em4's Thugz! Mounted support for Shockforce's Rats! Are we not truly in a Golden Age?

(And to show that gamers will complain about anything, I'd love to see those HumRats on foot, with more rifles! grin)

Thanks CC, I found the icon. I looked past it three times.

Some very tasty figures there, hopefully there will be a few more Humrats armed with more primitive weapons, lances, bows and the like, for the more fantasy orientated among us? I like the sound of their Viktorian line that will be coming out in a few weeks. Looks like an order for next month (after my holiday)!

"The next few weeks will bring the release of a third range, Darkest African Fantasies – unusual miniatures for Viktorian gamers, starting wih Amazons and baboon hordes."

Baboon hordes? Yesssssss!!!! (as he jumps in the air)

More hoodlums to gang….er, I mean game with. Sorry. ;-)

I'm eager to see their offerings from their "Darkest African Fantasies" range. I'm sure they'll be great.

It's sad to see yet another talented artist that prefers fantasy rather than historical figures.

Asia Invincible12 Jul 2006 1:33 p.m. PST

With those baboons you could game Primal Force as modern pulp.

Interesting figs, but I would agree that talent like this breaking off in independent ventures is "splintering" the hobby. It would be much better if companies would work with the artists, so that creative talent could go to both historical and esoteric subjects. Let's all just get along dream, sigh. Still, I am very interested in this line. More fodder for over-active imaginations! What fun!

I think the stable of Foundry and others is fantastic, the variety that the likes of Copplestone, Mike Owen, Mark Sims and not least the Perrys is awesome, they are prducing ranges they want to rather than being forced to and the ranges though sometimes Fringe gaming have produced some fantastic Historical figures

Baboon hordes? Yesssssss!!!! (as he jumps in the air)

Is that a snoop midget/dwarf? He's awfully small next to that dog.

Maybe he's a gangsta hobbit.

Tried to order these figures, but there is not enough information to pay by paypal. The email address to which to pay is missing. Also not included in Obelisk's email receipt.

I've always admired Ochman's sculpting. Ever since I bought, sight-unseen, his Gunslingers and enjoyed the shootist wearing a tyrolean-style cowboy hat !
