I've picked up the new ones today. The Celts fit in very nicely with the others, indeed, they bring a bit more colour - especially the one with the yellow/brown tartan cloak.
The Roman though is a bit more problematic. He is pretty much the same size as the others but his shield is noticeably...
A good thread! I don't know if I can come up with ten or make it as wide ranging but here's what I like about K & C.
1. Andy. I've had the opportunity to personally chat with Andy in Brisbane over the last few years and I really enjoyed that. Not only will he be engaging on all things toy...
A bugbear of mine has been when the lances are pointed at the sky. Is it possible to cut and pin the arms so that the first rank are leveling theirs to strike?
I have pretty much all the CS 43AD range and love them. I hope to see more Celts this year. I also hope Exped Force start bringing out their Roman range this year.
I love Roman figures! Yes, I read it as some enemies being done by John. It's great to see some collaboration. There should be lots of things in common now which will please collectors. I'd like to see John's take on Celts!
'Build it and he will come' - for years no one could drive past a corn field without someone saying it. There's even an ad on Australian TV today that uses the line.
I've been letting my imagination go along these lines again. I'm still keen on a new WW2 playset and German Fallschirmjagers. My thought now is Battle of St Lo in Normandy. The 3rd FJ Div fought the 29th US and others.
I'd see a set of FJs including a mortar crew, which they used heavily. Also...
Yes, I really enjoyed it. There was some real fun seeing some old faces again.
Also -
Spoiler!!!!!!!!!!!
Good to see a suicide squad which actually lives up to its name!

The 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment was part of the legendary 82nd Airborne Division in WW2. It took part in almost all of that formations epic battles, as well as several significant others. Accordingly, it has a unique story that I think positions it...
I didn't realise what was happening here. I hope a few more 1/32 options are offered to get involved with. Maybe it's worth HAT floating their 1/32 thoughts to see what will attract the most attention?
I saw it with Brett's group last night and it is the best film I have seen for a couple of years. It really got me in. It had an excellent blend of human relationships, humour and both the horror and heroics of war. It was more graphic than The Pacific but I thought it showed the awfull reality...
I'm amazed by what Scott is doing. My Ancients battle incorporating the Conte Spartans is one of my favourite displays! I'm really looking forward to the Romans - it's time for the Punic War!
I believe there were clashes with the Persians a decade or so prior to the Jewish Revolt? The 4th and 6th Legions were involved I think? There would certainly have been Eastern archers with the Roman forces there.
There was a big battle in the Scottish Highlands in 84AD. In the lead up the IXth...
Yes, happy birthday Wayne!
How is it I check my computer before I go to the shop, but the birthday notification from Facebook only shows up AFTER I've seen you and gotten home!
Yes, the rugby game at the start is an excellent beginning. I think I prefer the older versions, it's hard to credit Ledger as a coward. I've also never really enjoyed/accepted the part about his going native to save his friends. It kinda undoes the story for me? It's still an interesting story...
