Re: Red Box Alliance Amazons?

Really?

Re: Red Box Alliance Amazons?

Oh I am not disputing the existence of real Amazon warriors, I am merely stating that Alliance is strictly LOTR style fantasy! I hope you get your RL Amazons, maybe as part of Red Box's regular line? Would love to see more female warrior Picts & Celts too than just the one figure in ESCI's set!

Re: Red Box Alliance Amazons?

Sounds good! Thanks.

Re: Red Box Alliance Amazons?

Do they look anything like these?

Re: Red Box Alliance Amazons?

Well now those I would call Fantasy I wouldn't necessarily turn them away though

Re: Red Box Alliance Amazons?

There are a some awesome sculpts in DDD's photobucket and quite a few I would buy if they were available.

Dark Dream

I have bought some of the Dark Dream Undead.

I'm not interested in Fantasy but these make fantastic Dark Age/Saxon figures for Saga.

No, those are resin, but thanks! Pretty cool!

Re: Red Box Alliance Amazons?

Bad news Britsfan! Red Box showed me a few pix of the Amazons. The Greek ones are considered historical. The fantasy ones are waaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyy out there! Sorry!

Re: Red Box Alliance Amazons?

And you don't share the pictures with us?

Re: Red Box Alliance Amazons?

Alas, they sent them to me in an email & I have no place to post them to share. Email me & I will share with you gladly!

Re: Red Box Alliance Amazons?

Ooookay, these look awesome. Now the only thing I need is a reason to buy them.

Re: Red Box Alliance Amazons?

In the Roman arena it was common to represent a historical or mythical battle, but these were often done with little knowledge of or interest in the proper costumes. Think about the historical films of the last few decades which are often inaccurate in terms of the uniforms or even the facts. There was at least one occasion on which "Amazons" fought in the arena. Maybe they looked something like the new Red Box figures? That's enough of an excuse for me to buy them, anyway! I have enough gladiators to oppose them, or possibly use Alexander's phalangists.
