Old Glory 15mm Ancients


I have just taken delivery of some sample bags of Old Glory 15s Asiatic Horse army figures. They came in smaller bags than I am used to with 9 mounted (down from the previous 16) and 24 foot (previously approximately 50). This makes them much more practical with far fewer wasted/unwanted figures.

It has proven hard to find pictures of the figures recently so here are a few shots to help out. (hardly more than a scratch on the surface as the OG range is enormous but .. )




AH1 - Asiatic Horse Army Command. 3 figures with kettle drums, three figurs with standard and 3 generals.





AH2 - Asiatic Horse Army Heavy Cavalry. 4 riders but the mix was skewed towards the bow shooting character.




AH3 - Asiatic Horse Army Bulgar light cavalry. 4 figures



SL2 - Slavic spearmen. 8 different figures. Some with kite shield, some with round or oval.

Disappointed!

I have just received two new Battlefront Churchill Tanks.

The quality of the casting of both leaves something to be desired. I won't send them back as I am in a hurry and a reasonable paint job can hide a number of imperfections.

However, on one the armoured trailer had some of the detail completely missing and other bits poorly cast, while the other had a significant warp in one of the sides. Interestingly the detail apears to be there but in a Dali-esque manner.
