I’ve been searching for cheap alternate stores that sell plastic troops in the likeness of warhammer. So far all I’ve found is historical sites, but this one really catches my eye. All kinds of great army ideas began formulating in my head as soon as I saw the wonderful minis. Click on the link above and search through the historical ones.
But, now I just have a question for you good people?
Would these work with a fantasy army. They are the same scale, but would the image be right. What would be best used for an Empire or WoC army.
I thought of using the Romans for an empire force based on the Church of Sigmar. Hence the better armor. But, then a force of British gunners would be cool.
And what would you think of a lizardmen force based on the Zulu Warriors? This would be my first full army using alternate plastics. But, just tell me which army sounds the coolest to you folks and look at the nice miniatures too.
Can’t say anything about that particular manufacturer. But, this is a Flagellant vs a Warlord games ECW Pike Officer, with flagellant arms. They fit pretty well. I’m considering using ECW minaitures as an Emprie army, for when I can’t play a real historical game.
Wargames Factory minis would not look right. Although the original sculpts are good, much of the range is made using poor quality moulds and plastics which gives the models a very inferior look. This is especially true of their early models like the Romans. Also, WFminis are done in ‘true scale’ rather than ‘heroic scale’ and next to a Warhammer mini it stands out a mile. If you want to use other firms I can recomend Warlord Games, Vitrex and Perry Miniatures.
nitroglysarine I would have to concur but on seperate reason for the choices just made here, The models look of good quality having never seen them in the sprue just yet but I would say that.
Celtic Warband - Would make pretty impressive kislevite foot troops. I however think they would make poor empire militia as they are too barbaric and lack the base civilisation for the job
Celtic Cavelry - Would make pretty awesome kislevite archers and wiht a little work make nice winged lancers too.

I'd say they would make quite a nice unit of militia if you sway away from the classic prim-and-propper take on the empire, like a Stir River patrol or areas near Middenheim, i think they would work for those, if mixed up with the sprues from GW.
