I play with mainly WFB/40K players when it comes to WAB and all actually like that WAB doesn't go down the route of having characters who are so powerful that on their own they can win a melee (Viking players will also know how much stick they take for the rather OTT character of their lists with berserkers, Ulfendhar etc) I quite like slightly overscale heroic figures to be Army Commanders (as I say see the Foundry Viking Characters if you think that they are all boring) but not ones equipped with a canoe paddle – if you want to go down the heroic weapon path theres way as per the fantasy swords of figures in WFB to make them look impressive without doing that – and who having spent good money on such a figure, then wants to start hacking it about to change the sword.

This is a launch of the new Paymaster Games website. We are planning two product lines. Here is a quick description of both lines:

Main Line or Lines - Going Native: This is a historical line of models based on and inspired by the Native American and Polynesian nations and peoples of the not-so-distant past. These models 28mm Heroic scale, and will cover different armies of native civilizations, including the Maya, Aztecs, Inca, Hawaiian, and many others. Right now, our main focus is to supply models for the Field of Glory and possibly Clash of Empires game/rulesets, but we do plan to expand past this.

Secondary Line - Heroes of History: This is a historical line that focuses mainly on famous generals and/or people that have directly or indirectly affected the course of history. These models will have a modern romantic appearance that will be a lot closer to a character in a historic-setting videogame, not unlike the Warrior series made by Koei. These models will be 28mm, and are intended to be used with all historic games with the ancient battle setting, including but not limited to Field of Glory, Warhammer Ancient Battles, Clash of Empires and Hail Caesar.

I am happy to bring to your attention that Paymaster Games is going to introduce ourselves and our lines at this year's Gen Con (August 4-7). We will have four new models for our Heroes of History line and three models for the Going Native line.

Here is a list of what we are bringing:

Heroes of History:

  • Vercingetorix, the Gaul
  • Marcus Crassus, the Richest Man in Rome
  • Date Masamune, the One Eyed Dragon
  • Nezahualcoyotl, Warrior Poet of Aztecs

Going Native:

  • Three Polynesian Adventurers with Spears

Prices will be announced at a later date.

To wet your whistles, here is the first picture of our up-and-coming models: Vercingetorix, the Gaul.
