Toy Soldier Preview ~ HAT crowdfunding for 2 new sets.

/ Warhorse Miniatures / 1 Comment

Well here is the latest set of figures that Haet Toy Soldier company or HAT is trying to produce by rasing money through Kickstarter, Haet Toy Soldiers Crowdfunding. Project #3: 1/32 Napoleonic British Infantry and Project #4: 1/32 7YW Austrian Infantry Marching. If you would like to see one of these project come to life, please donate to the crowdfunding. I think like the last project, they will have these up for about a month or so to see if they can gather enough interest in any of these sets to produce them.

Toy Soldier Preview ~ W. Britain Saxon Archers

/ Warhorse Miniatures / 2 Comments

Greetings again my friends, Thanks for stopping by. As the holidays approach us, I am taking a break from working on most of my projects. I am re-organizing my storage space and display area, and I shall start working on my projects next year. Right now I am going to pick up a few things here and there and plan for the future. Anyway, I have an update on some of the latest W. Britain Saxon figures today. Here are some of the Saxon archers that should be out in December. I can’t wait until next year to see what they have planned for the medieval range.

Toy Soldier Preview ~ Paragon Plains Indians

/ Warhorse Miniatures / 2 Comments

Happy Thanksgiving Everybody, I hope everybody is safe and has a good time if you observe this holiday. I found some time to do a preview of Paragon Scenics & Miniatures Plains Indians. If you are unfamiliar with them, they have some nice sculpted figures. From Apaches Indians, U.S. Indian Wars Cavalry, and now Alamo figures. Plus they have some nice display accessories of terrain and forts. And they have some playsets and you can buy some of the accessories separate.  These new figures with be released at the OTSS in September in 2017.

/ Warhorse Miniatures / 2 Comments

Hi again, here is a new set that just came out from Xforce or Expeditionary Force. They continue their Zulu War line with some British Artillery, and they look great. The set contains 9 figures and 2 cannons. They are 54mm in size and the cannons are 9 pounders. They come in 2 different sets, one with plain helmets and the other with spiked helmets. The cost is around $35.00.

Toy Soldiers Preview ~ Barzso Stronghold Tower

/ 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 🙂

Toy Soldiers Preview ~ First Legion Vikings

/ Warhorse Miniatures / 2 Comments

Hi, I am starting a new section of previews of Toy Soldiers. Here is my first post and it is about the new line of Toy Soldiers from First Legion. Here are their first range of Vikings, The Norse Raiders and they should be out this summer. I like the way they look, realistic. They are in 1/30 scale, they should fit well with Conte’s Vikings and hopefully the new range by W. Britain.
