They're table top figures, not display case figures.<BR/><BR/><BR/>-- JeffBluebear Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07595975572873838050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30139647.post-22623161276374004412008-03-07T04:43:00.000-08:002008-03-07T04:43:00.000-08:00....that's a great shame (that the Blood Axe are n.......that's a great shame (that the Blood Axe are no longer available) as they're nice and elegant, a simple figure but looks good... as indeed do your regiments!Steve-the-Wargamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07077311120172727690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30139647.post-92037020034822245462008-03-07T00:59:00.000-08:002008-03-07T00:59:00.000-08:00But Jean-Louis, I have a whole bunch of lovely RSM...But Jean-Louis, I have a whole bunch of lovely RSMs to paint up . . . and I really love their elegance.<BR/><BR/>Of course nothing says that I have to paint them up exactly the same way as these Blood Axe WSS figures . . . it will allow me to expand my army if I like.<BR/><BR/>The really big problem with the Blood Axe figures is that they are no longer available . . . so I need to move on to other figures.<BR/><BR/><BR/>-- JeffBluebear Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07595975572873838050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30139647.post-72934543313973652612008-03-07T00:49:00.000-08:002008-03-07T00:49:00.000-08:00Four very, very good-looking regiments!Saxe-Bearst...Four very, very good-looking regiments!<BR/>Saxe-Bearstein may be proud and feel secure.<BR/>Looking forward to the Dragoons.<BR/><BR/>Maybe I'm biased -ranking WAS uniforms far above the SYW ones- but with such 'GNW' minis, who needs SYW ones?<BR/><BR/>Compliments,<BR/>Jean-Louis<BR/><BR/>PS: and since they fit so well in the 'EvE' setting, WSS troops -and campaigns- could do the same (hint, hint)...abdul666https://www.blogger.com/profile/16172686098173637906noreply@blogger.com
