Magister Militum - Selling Up

[Ithoriel]

Hence 10th Legion and not mainstream Baccus?

I read that as some kind of licensing deal.

I just thought it weird my quote from their site needed correcting

All good, I've deleted my post!  It's great to see the MM 10mm ranges back online, I know a lot of folks were left with unfinished projects so they'll be able to get those extra figures now.  And having more options available in 10mm makes the whole scale more viable to newcomers.

I don't envy Pete/Baccus the job of cataloguing and getting them all back into production though, there was a lot there to work through!

It's interesting to see where these ranges are going.
I rather fear whet the prices will be when the new owners have production established.
It's not uncommon to see prices hiked by 20% when a range changes ownership.
And that's before energy and metal inflation is factored in.

A couple of personal opinions:

Magister Militum and Pendraken present rather different styles of 10mm figure.
The MM were rather stout, much as old Minifigs presented a "well fed" interpretation of 25mm.
For me, the difference was too great to mix figures from different manufacturers.
I have used a couple of MM historicals where no appropriate Pendraken figures were available.
That's a very rare situation.

Maybe more universal.
Several MM Historicals did double duty as humanoid races in their fantasy range.
(Roman, Chinese, Medieval European, Savannah Tribes).
All except the Savannah Tribes have disappeared form the MM listings.

Some prices are up already
