The Find ~ Conte CCC21 Saxon Shield Wall

January 29, 2017May 22, 2018 / Warhorse Miniatures / 2 Comments

Every once in a while you come across something that you don’t see every day as a collector. A few weeks ago, I found this set and was lucky enough to get it for about $40. This is a rare set, a Collectors Club set. Plus Conte didn’t make to many metal painted Saxon sets. Anyway they go great with my W. Britain Saxons, and now my Shield Wall is bigger 🙂

Toy Soldiers Review ~ Barzso Medieval Stone Cottages

October 1, 2016May 22, 2018 / Warhorse Miniatures / 2 Comments

Now that your waiting for the new Barzso Tower set to come out, I wanted to review some of their Medieval Stone Cottages from their Medieval Collection that came out over the past year. In one word, they are “Great”. They will fit with any Medieval scene that you want to do and could be used for other eras as well. I took a few pictures with some Barzso, Conte and Dulcop figures that are 54mm to 60mm in scale. I think the scales are the “Big” 54mm and more close to 60mm in scale. Anyway, they would look good with either scale. These cottages will help me with my latest project that I am working on. The larger cottage measures approximately 10 inches wide, 6 inches deep and 7 inches tall and goes for $39.99. The smaller cottage measures approximately 6 inches wide, 4 & 1/4 inches deep, and 5 inches tall and goes for $24.95. Ok, thanks for reading. They actually don’t look to bad with Playmobil too. I am going to touch up the doors and paint them brown.

Toy Soldiers Preview ~ Barzso Stronghold Tower

September 18, 2016May 22, 2018 / Warhorse Miniatures / 4 Comments

Here are some pictures of the new Medieval Tower that Barzso Playsets is coming out this year. I think it will be called the “Duke’s Stronghold”, it reminds me of Conte’s Warlord Tower that was made years ago. I think it will be released at the toy show in Chicago later at the end of the month. I wish he would come out with some more medieval figures to go with this tower, maybe in the future? This tower is great for a stand alone piece or it can be part of his other medieval castles. So if you missed out on the Conte Warlord Tower ); or don’t want to spend an arm & leg for one, then this tower is for you. I hope Ron sells a ton of these, they will look great with any painted metal or plastic medieval figures. So get one fast, it is bound to sell out quickly….

And lastly the Tower & Rocky Base standing alone(with a small tower on top).

I think the Tower is going to cost around $179.00, the rock base around $60.00. The little tower on the the top is $20.00, and a connector wall(not pictured) is going to be around $30.00. Prices could be different, but this is what I have read on one of the forums. The connector wall will allow you to include the tower to be part of the castle. I am going to get one right away 🙂
