They are awesome! I finally received mine from Hobby Bunker today (it was a slow trip for some reason). Most of the figures come with two options for display, though some up to four if you use the two shield and weapon options that some have. They're really earthy and the three colours give the opportunity to make a very varied army. I've set them with the TSSD Barbarians and I think most of those work very well with these fabulous Conte figures. Most have flowing cloaks so there's a real sense of movement. The detail with beards and rugged winter clothing is excellent!
There is a second set in the works and that will result in two sets of both Romans and Barbarians. With the variety of poses and weapons it offers the chance to create a very dramatic battle!
I think the 5th set is meant to be a Roman archery set. Whatever he comes up with - I will buy!

Good to hear, i will get them too. You talked me into it. I have always loved Conte figures. The next Barbarian set will double as Vikings and it looks like a really cool shield wall.

I'm sure Matt will have them; I ordered mine direct from Rick and got a good deal on multiple bags - along with more of his Warlord Frisians. I'm a happy camper. The new figures are beautiful - even more finely sculpted than the old "Warlord" guys. I am hoping to get them all out and set them up together for comparison shots as well as just for the fun of it.
They are not as versatile as the last set was - both a plus and a minus - fewer choices of pose, but also less assembling; again, these guys are beautifully done. As I get older I'm trying to cut back on my buying, but as Michael Corleone said, "Just when I think I'm out - they PULL me back in!"
