FWIW - a quick heads up. I’ve just noticed that eBay seller mrfootballer has a lot of Outpost miniatures for sale.
I thought I’d mention it in case anyone needs any. 😉
I have no connection to the seller at all.
Cheers,
Geoff

"May not post to the United States" And here I was just starting to think about a Republican Roman army. Plenty of other options available, claudermilk. I used Essex for mine, but since then Baueda, Forged in Battle and Xyston have all released a Republican Roman range. I'm sure some of the 3D printed ranges also have figures for this army. |

Oh, absolutely. I've been looking at the Baueda line for them. There are a couple of 3d printed file sets...which might become more relevant as my buy-a-resin-printer project gains steam. |

I ordered some bits and bobs found the guy quick to respond and told me he has most of the outpost moulds. He’s also happy to supply direct outside of eBay. I’m assuming he’s legit.
I found the figures had a bit more flash than my originals otherwise okay. Certainly cheap. I would look carefully at the figures you’re ordering since he doesn’t use the outpost numbers or descriptions. I’m no expert but his listing for Roman triarii appears to have wicker shields possibly pre samurai pavaises that outpost used to do. But like I say the guy communicates and supplies quickly.

I’ll havva look later I’ve checked my recent order against some originals. The metal is ‘shinier’ and maybe a bit softer - I’m no metallurgist. Compared to the Macedonians and pre samurai originals I have I can say the following: the ‘ new’ figures have a more flash but not much more than some of my original pre samurai figures. Looking at the old Chinese horde figures I have the definition was pretty bad in any case. The original Macedonians were much better. In contrast the ‘new’ Chinese swordsmen I ordered have good definition and no flash. So it may be more to do with the ranges rather than the metal used. Like I say I’m no expert . Pm me if you want some photos. K |
