Colonel Marbles Miniature Masterworks - SEPTEMBER 2002

Like the mount. That axe is very 'Dreadaxe' from GW's old 'Legend of Kaleb Dark' isn't it? - UnclEvl

Being attacked by 2 big werebears with hedge trimmers?

Its feasible alright. But like the fellah says, just not plausible. Get yer -ibles right man.

Thats a goat's head Baz. You probably got confused by its thrup'nees.

Very nice. Original and well posed, their figs just seem to be going from strength to strength.

Looking at these figs I was actually prompted to go and have another look at their web site to see what else they had released lately. There are some cracking figures there, most noticably the Anubi Embalmer, the Harbinger of Bast and the Nekharu Witch.

However, looking at all their figs I couldn't help feeling there was something slightly amiss, and then I realised what it was. Nearly all the figures are armed with very Western looking weapons, esp. broad or bastard sword type weapons, and overall this tends to detract from their overwise exotic look and 'authentic' egyptian feel.

Those that have a more appropriate exotic weapon (such as the Anubi Harbinger which is a superb figure) look loads better. Given the Egyptian background to these figs, I would have expected to have seen the khopesh as the 'standard' weapon (sort of like a scimitar) and think it would have fitted in with the theme better and jarred on the overall look far less.

Probably just me being a pedant though.
