To me that should be the first project as a nod to truth and the others who were prodding WOTC to release Sam.

Thats not a bad idea, but we already have red coats. The next thing I could think of might be a Napolionic army. Use the three extra guys and paint them more of a gray scale color.

Just an idea for the left over mass.

How about the 3 off guys from the broken squad to be painted green and have a Unique Squad of Green Mountain Militia.

Sounds like a good idea.

Green Mountain Boys! Go VT!

I should say that the idea really came from Granite-M a while back. He was running his GMB idea by me, and though I can't remember the powers, I remember liking the theme of the squad.

I like it! Green Mtn Boys FTW!

I've always wanted Hessians, you know, a Vydar German mercenary group that improves the quality of the 10th reg. Luckily the British never got to use their Hessian forces in the Revolutionary War, so the results are only up to the imagination.

What are you talking about, the British used the Hessians as initial infantry to take over colonies and then establish a garrison to police and maintain the colony. The Hessians were instrumental in the Revolutionary war.

oooooo. That's a loss of cool points. Thanks for the fix!

Green Mountain Boys for the win!
Does this mean a possible Ethan Allen with a discount furniture special?

WARGAMES FACTORY has 28mm plastic figures that need to be assembled and painted but the prices are great.

A squad of Zulu warriors would cost $6.00 (have to buy both sprues). Or 6 squads for $20.

They are also willing to make custom sprues if we can get 100 people to each buy 10 sprues.

I think the Zulu Warriors would be great for Heroscape. I've never seen them, so I can't verify the scale, but it seems like a great deal.

If you don't like Zulus, there are Brittish soldiers from the War of Spanish Succession, Saxons, Celts, Numidians, German infantry and calvary, and Zombies. Persians and Skeletons coming soon.

Also, if they can get enough people interested in AZTEC WARRIORS, they'll commit to making them. Some Jaguar Warriors would be awesome for Heroscape!

28mm is actually somewhat small, we'd need 32mm preferably but we'd have to see a side by side comparison to really know how well they may fit. They are almost too diverse though, great for wargamers who just want every unit to look different but we typically want squads of 3 or 4 identical looking pieces.
