If anyone is going to the show in London I suspect I will be loitering around the TG/Maison Militaire stand quite a bit, so do say hello!

Blind experimentation can be costly so this is invaluable. Thank you Julie.

K&C would have to do something extra special (!) for me to collect their Roman range. It's not cutting my nose off but as I see it, you have to draw the line somewhere in terms of expense and because they are already the market leader and have worked hard to get there, I prefer to support the...

Speaking as an ex HMRC Inspector, you make sure you get those numbers right!

Can't really add anything that hasn't already been said Joe! Just need to worm my way in to your will and then bump you off!!! {sm3}

They are blue.

Always...... always looking for..... can't get enough of..... so I will just have to wait and......

So, if this were thread whereby the manufacturers looked in to see what it was we wanted (!) what are your wishes and wants for the future when it comes to Roman ranges? Any specific periods, battles, campaigns, marching, fighting, at rest, city/village life etc.?

Well, other than the ancients series I was trying to think of a conflict that may have a lot of colour to it that isn't being done anywhere else. I did wonder if the first Afghan War may crop up at some point, particularly Gandamak. I did think second Boer War or Maiwand but it's a lot of khaki...

Yes, a wooden fort would be good plus maybe some of the much more ephemeral siege works.

The K&C Valeria Victrix figures look good but I can't quite see the feminalia they are wearing from the pictures they have posted. I'm really hoping they're not blue.

Oh dear, they've come out a bit darker than was expected!

And coming at ya!

A third of my little Army!

That's a fantastic model. I attempted to build one of the siege/watchtowers from Alesia using balsa coffee stirrers, dowels and craft wire for the lattice work. It was one of the worst things I have ever laid eyes on and much of it ended up in the wood burner. That's why I need manufacturers to...

Reckon that could be the one that came over!

I really liked the East Of India figures. I thought for the price they were excellent quality and ahead of their time. Have you posted pics on here kat? Would love to see your collection.

I kick myself that I never begun collecting the Conte range. They're kind of being held to ransom on eBay nowadays. I want them but not that much! What are your hopes and wishes for the future of the various Roman ranges?

Just trying to gauge how many people on here primarily collect Roman or ancient figures. It's always good to know who your kindred spirits are and indeed who you are up against when trying to snap them all up! I know you do Joe!

Other than crime fiction my main genre when reading is Roman history, so I thought I would try a bit of Roman fiction and the first book I saw I bought. It was Ben Kane's Hunting The Eagles. I think I may have chosen poorly because it really has put me off reading anymore from this genre. It is...
