Ahem

Ah, but Swordwind, these that Philologus has posted aren\'t on that page you linked.

EDIT: I didn\'t mean to put the smiley in there, it happened all by itself.

 

[Swordwind]

O rly?

 

[Roger Bunting]

Well, my bad, I just thought you were linking to the link that Foley posted, I didn\'t read down, that takes time. lol

Dark Sword minis are extremely impressive. The proportions are superb! Might have to ask for a couple of these for Christmas.

 

[Swordwind]

Theres also this from his blog.

Sorry SW, I haven\'t been as active lately on the forums. Mea Culpa. I just loved these when I saw them and have always been a Tom Meier fan.

 

[uberdark]

not so into these actually....in fact i never really much cared for tom meier\'s stuff. very old school mini....i like the newer much more dynamic stuff especially that new company with the empire guy on horse from some new company...i cant remember the name but it was on tgn reviews.

 

[Swordwind]

Hmm some of them I liked but that 54mm version of Jon Snow on the link you put up looks very static ond un-exciting.

 

[Swordwind]

The entire range is 28mm. The 54 were scrapped months before we saw these. The ones in the last link are just a bunch of random nights watch guys for use in wargames, they arent meant to be super detailed like the characters.

If you scroll down the page at teh bottom is the 54mm Jon Snow, I am also not that keen on the knights watch some look a little rough some of the character greens I do like though so they are not all bad

 

[Swordwind]

Holy Freaking Crap! Your right!

Theres one tiny problem. Look at the date. The entire Testors 54mm range has been completely scrapped by now. Probably the 28mm nights watch aswell, to be replaced with the more detailed versions.

Sorta. Some of his work I do like, but as with anyone that churns out stuff at his pace quality is hard to maintain. Even some recent pieces (within the last year) look cruder, stiff and hackneyed, to me. Not to take anything away from the best of his output, which is amazing.

His ability to do detail at mini scales is practically unmatched though, from the stuff I\'ve seen.

Er, GS? It was the colour that gave me my first hint

They are fantastic sculpts! amazing amounts of detail for 28/30mm

Now on pre-sale, and painted versions (by Matt V.) in the Dark Sword store. My wallet...it cries.
