The paint job you have done really shows the potential of the Cromarty figures. They look very nice indeed. I imagine they were more satisfying to paint than the epic range.
Nice review. I've never heard of Cromarty Forge, and the design of these is very nice. I have been hunting high and low for a decent source of stl ancients in 15mm; on MyMiniFactory, the ancients available are 28 - 32 or 6 - 10 mm scale. Good to see they are making 13.5mm; now Macedonians is what I really want for Epic Battles.
Lovely miniatures, I think I prefer this over the warlord strips because of the dynamic basing you did. How do they compare cost wise to the epic range? Just a headsup for people out of the uk ordering from excellent miniatures: i had to wait for over 3 months for miniatures to arrive from them. I emailed and tried to contact them several times but zero response. The miniatures looked pretty good even though there was a mixup with some banner guys.
There's a new Facebook post from John, Cromarty Forge. New release of STL files at this Epic scale. 13.5mm from the sole of the sandals to the eye. And available in strips as the Warlord games are.
Do you think the Cromarty figures would size match if printed at 90% of the standard file size? I wonder how the 10mm files would look if printed at 125%.
Love the Cromarty forge figures. They paint well almost similar to 28s but still quick as smaller as less detail. Lovely job I really like the way they rank up
Great video and lovely paint job. Cromarty is great. Ive got a growing collection of 10mm figures and they are great to paint up with the amount of detail even at that smaller scale. I know PSC announced an "Epic scale" line for the Cromarty Mid Republican Romans.
Very nice video! It is very interesting to have a comparison with epic. I think that Cromarty has started to release their printings in "epic scale" as well. They should be smaller and more compatible. Anyway, I prefer Cromarty and the 15mm to the epic scale.
They look really nice, what is the resin like that is used to print them? I believe it is not brittle like a lot of others and has more flexibility to it? I'm concerned the weapons will snap easily in this scale.
They turned out great Dom. I really like them. Shame about the scale it would bother me however. I see that they do actually do mid rep Romans at 13.5mm. Perhaps they will expand the range to compete with warlord and it would ideal for epic scale. I have actually for the first time entered epic with the hannibal box set. Found a place that did 22% off making it 185. A fair saving on 240.
Great paintjob, they look fantastic. =) They look like they'll go great with Forged in Battle, Baueda, etc. Quite annoyed with Warlord that they dropped the scale back down for Hail Caesar... the scale doesn't match with anything. Kinda hard to convince myself that's not a deliberate choice. Bit of a shame.
yeah thats been a frequent complaint. They are more like old school 15mm but I guess you cant fault a company for maximising the money that can make from their investment
@@BootsontheTable I think I'd be less annoyed if even the epic battles scale was internally consistent. But the Hail Caesar stuff is quite a bit smaller than the Pike&Shotte figures -.-
If you have access to a printer you can scale your figures to print at 90% this should make them much closer in size. Cromarty Forge sell the files for printing.
cromarty forge are really good figures . like 28s but smaller, the shield details are nice if one takes the time to paint them , a bit fiddly but worth the effort. . Cheers
They look really nice dom if only Warlord had made epic 15mm instead of there own special thing but perhaps that's the whole point of them doing it that way personally I prefer the cromarty forge figs more character epic are a bit bland for my taste. but each to there own .
The price point for Warlords epic range went from decent with the American Civil War to obnoxious with Epic Ancients. Are they trying to become another GW?
