TOPIC: Ancients resculpted range |
Standard User Posts: 2 georgi.zh 25th Mar 2017 04:47:19 Hello, I'm planning a purchase on the ancients greek range to play out the Macedonian and Peloponese wars. I remember spotting somewhere on the net something about re-sculpting parts or all of the ancients range. My question is are both Macedonian and Greek ranges featuring the aforementioned newer sculpts (with supposedly beeter casting) and if not which one? |

Standard User Posts: 2 georgi.zh 26th Mar 2017 04:32:53 I'm not concerned about how much detail is there as opposed with larger miniatures (I really can't make anything out of the pictures in the catalogue) - I was qurious mostly about the presense of detail. I've seen some roman cavalry models from two companies, next to each other and one had (judging by the pictures) flat, somewhat shapeless surface, while the other had the necessary components which would hold the paint (armour pieces etc.). I was wondering if model age would be the cause hence my question about the new range. |

The Successor sculpts remain the orginal versions, but are still very well detailed and animated models - I am sure that others will support that statement. One of the main drivers of resculpts is the rate at which the moulds have worn, not the quality of the models themselves. I have plans. I am dangerous when I have plans... |
