I do like Tony Barton's figures. :)
I think he's one of the top 20mm designers...If not the best.
Cheers - Phil.

His 10mm weren't as good as some other people can do ;)

Actually I'm pretty sure Alan Marsh did the 10mm stuff

and I've been seriously impressed with all that I've seen in the flesh, the pics on their site don't do them justice

As a predominantly fantasy gamer, I love their 10mm but the range is just odd: seriously eclectic.  Wish they developed an army at a time.  Great sculpting though  :)

Think that was back when AB were marketed by Wargames South who did quite a few ranges of 10mm not just WWII as they do now. Pretty sure they were not sculpted by tony though. Pendraken picked up some of the Wargames South ranges when they sold them off to concetrate on WWII but are no longer part of the Pendraken catalogue either.

true, although they've got almost complete ranges of beastmen, wood elves and chaos dwarfs which are ideal for warmaster.... I have plans in those directions

Yeah, had a look this morning.  Love the wood elves: I'm up to my ears (horns?) in beastmen anyway.

That is why I love Pendraken and this forum: it isn't limited to THEIR stuff.  And that is why we stick with em: take note GW  :-\

http://www.wargames-south.com/ for some of the WW2 stuff, as far as I know the Samurai are done by someone else

I think the WGS old HYW range is now with Hinchcliffe

Looks like they have the ACW range too (well as far as I can tell as all but one of the ACW pic links are actually Ancients figures  ???)

Yeah, we had the Napoleonic ranges, but they didn't quite work too well with our own figures at the time, and the moulds were a nightmare to cast from, feeds and vents everywhere on the figures.

We were recently offered a chunk of the WGS WWII infantry range as well, but we declined.
