Also, do you know the basing sizes that were used? They seem to be larger than just doubling the 25mm DBA standard since the figure count is increased per base....a nice thing.

I confess to not being that impressed with the smaller scale HaT figures and I read the posts on their latest Napoleonic release of Legere on Scott MacPhee's blog (http://macpheesminiaturemen.blogspot.com/) and I have to say they have improved. Not anywhere up to Perry's or even Front Rank - but quite decent figures that look good en masse. <br /><br />Thanks for posting these HaT ancients - they look very impressive. They're certainly well painted and based (love the 'view from the howdah' shot with mad Marius attacking the elephant!) The plastic used in HaT's Napoleonic 1/32nd scale is a harder variety - I hope its the same for these Ancients. <br /><br />Now you've really done it - I'm going to fixate on these bloody things and start thinking about how I'm going to start collecting another Ancients army!<br /><br />Cheers,<br /> DocDoc Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12454394616689797734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5486634797266444464.post-60839388715117793582010-03-07T14:03:17.555+00:002010-03-07T14:03:17.555+00:00I like the photo with view from howdah.

HaT plastics offer basically everything one would need for the Punic wars. The Romans are not great, but some of the later releases are superb, like the Spanish and Gallic types. Their website has pictures of all the figures. My only hesitation is the soft plastic issue, but the primers for plastic seem to work well and I suppose that the bigger 54s would hold up quite well.<br /><br />I suspect the elephants are not conversions of 'zoo' set elephants, are they? HaT elephants look, well, less menacing.<br /><br />Thanks for posting this. Now get back to Napoleonics! Or tell us about Gerry's WWII rules : )<br />Cheers,<br />ChrisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5486634797266444464.post-13960396469132490092010-03-05T14:15:44.601+00:002010-03-05T14:15:44.601+00:00Great looking game. 54mm elephants, now that is a ...Great looking game. 54mm elephants, now that is a thought!<br /><br />MattAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
