Plastic Oldhammer soldiers can be had for a song on eBay, especially those that were in starter kits. Some, like the Bretonnian Bowmen, make useful Medieval as well as fantasy figures.
Many are unpainted.
These will never be great figures, especially repaints as they are not worth the time stripping, but they are useful army padders.
A lick o'paint and Army Painter patina varnish can cover a multitude of sins.
I think there's a certain charm to the old monopose figures - 'when I were a lad, only champions and lords got their own poses, and we were happy with that' haha
ReplyDeleteI agree, and it works for games where the chaps are meant to stand in ranks - looking indistinguishable from each other.
DeleteSome good finds there John. Look good.
ReplyDeleteAlways worth checking out the cheapo section of eBay, Warhammer, every so often. :)
DeleteI decided to hang on to my 'old hammer' minis for the very reason that they're near worthless on ebay.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's a buyer's market unless you have old, rare, sought-after metals.
DeleteI liked the Bowmen sculpts. Still do. A few more posses would have been great but they do look like a disciplined unit. cheers
ReplyDeleteThe bowmen could easily grace a, Medieval army.
