Also they could work great as Chaos warriors!

Post by: Tzigane on September 24, 2013, 10:20:16 PM: Wow, these are awesome! I immediately contacted the seller, I might like to have a few of those!
Title: Re: [TJM] - Evil men of the East
Post by: Aquahog on September 25, 2013, 04:03:23 PM: Great catch! Two units were ordered immediately.

Post by: Stormwind on September 25, 2013, 06:49:17 PM: Amazing, they would do as Araby mercenaries, too!
Title: Re: [TJM] - Evil men of the East
Post by: jchaos79 on September 25, 2013, 08:01:47 PM: Arab mercenary, cool!

It will fit as well in oriental lists.
Title: Re: [TJM] - Evil men of the East
Post by: Tzigane on September 26, 2013, 12:12:13 PM: I ordered two as well! :D

Maybe we could come up with fun rules for them as mercenaries?

Maybe something like:

3/3/5+ 80 pts - Terrifying?
Title: Re: [TJM] - Evil men of the East
Post by: jchaos79 on September 26, 2013, 06:12:15 PM: 3/3/5 seems ok, but terror is serious thing in warmaster. Maybe I will reserve it for huge monsters or super-hero.s

Indeed. What else might he produce?!

True of course. What else could we do to the unit to make them a bit more special than all the others?

Post by: forbes on September 29, 2013, 04:53:26 PM: These do look good, keen to see any photos in comparison with GW figures
Title: Re: [TJM] - Evil men of the East
Post by: Stormwind on September 29, 2013, 05:37:23 PM: Perhaps they would also be a good proxy for Temple Guard for Araby as they are so distinct.

Temple guard for araby? can you explain it better.

(sorry for the edition of your message, it was a mistake)

Post by: Stormwind on September 29, 2013, 08:44:27 PM: Sorry, I meant Royal Guard - the ones that don't get a penalty if the General commands them.

I'll get that fixed for you when mine get here. :)
Title: Re: [TJM] - Evil men of the East
Post by: forbes on September 30, 2013, 06:19:45 PM: That would be great!

Just spent rather a lot on eBay - so am hesitating on getting these on spec, as they are a little on the expensive side.

Post by: Edmund2011 on October 01, 2013, 09:52:36 AM: Mmmm.. The evil men could be easily converted to Early Imperial Romans with those square shields...

Thanks for the comparison pic
Title: Re: [TJM] - Evil men of the East
Post by: Aquahog on October 01, 2013, 11:13:58 AM: No problem.

One of these days I need to get a macro lens or better.
Title: Re: [TJM] - Evil men of the East
Post by: forbes on October 01, 2013, 05:25:33 PM: Thanks for the photos and the review.

One question - do the look similar in size to WM figures? As models are 3D it can sometimes be hard to tell from a pho if they match in when you are looking at the real figures. These certainly do from the front on shots.

Edmund - why would you want to convert to Romans, there are lots of 10mm Romans out there.
Title: Re: [TJM] - Evil men of the East
Post by: Aquahog on October 01, 2013, 06:41:13 PM: I'd say they match Copplestone spot on which I perceive as slightly bigger than GW. I've never had a problem with fielding Copplestone and GW in the same army.
Title: Re: [TJM] - Evil men of the East
Post by: forbes on October 01, 2013, 08:33:08 PM: Good news.

The GW figures don't exactly match each other when you put them side by side - but look fine in when in units on the table.
Title: Re: [TJM] - Evil men of the East
Post by: Aquahog on October 01, 2013, 09:20:17 PM: Exactly. The Bretonnians e.g. are of a quite diminutive build. Must be all that praying to the lady and fasting I guess.
Title: Re: [TJM] - Evil men of the East
Post by: Edmund2011 on October 01, 2013, 11:25:22 PM: It is just an idea. I would not build a roman army from these, but maybe for a specific pose or figure.

I ordered two sets last week, can't wait to paint them up! I hope there will be more of this in the future. :)
Title: Re: [TJM] - Evil men of the East
Post by: Edmund2011 on November 04, 2013, 10:43:48 PM: A comparison pic. The pack comes with 6 strips (5 different strips variants), but some figures are re-used in the strips.

They look brilliant - I've had trouble getting people excited for LOTR 10mm though.
Title: Re: [TJM] - Evil men of the East
Post by: jchaos79 on November 05, 2013, 06:39:04 AM: Looking the picture, they are tall, but will be OK for me
