I think the problem would be less, if things were in stock longer times. As is, you have almost have to buy it now (or reserve it, and buy that later), or you miss out on the figures completely. Yes a production plan would be nice, but then again, not sure how possible that is.

There is a counterpoint to your argument about price. If you choose a price that is too high, less and less people will buy. At some point that too becomes less income.

For me Linear-A figures have gone from mainstay of an army, to interesting figures that could be used as spice to make units look more varied.

20 figures?
This is all going in the wrong direction.

I don't like the tendency for boxes now to count a figure twice. That is if there are two people in a pose, then it is two figures. I don't think this is the way other companies do it.

Anyway... I like the set. :) Might even buy it! :)

Very nice! :)

I like the way you've (again) made them come to life. I think I would have painted the shields a darker blue, yet still light, hue. Then again I would likely have gone for red. Historic with the light blue never the less. :)

Linaer-A have made incredible figures. Your more than excellent painting, brings them to life! :) Great job! :)

Very very good. The only critique I could have, and it is very very small, is that the rocks that the slinger has, seem to be the same color, and a bit light. :) :P

Beautiful, and breathtaking :)

Incredible set !!
With a remarkable precision and realism.
To buy as soon as possible and I intend to do it.
But a very "innocent" question:
- why is the lancer in photo number 6 pointing his spear towards the sky (?).

---

Very nicely done! :)

Interesting :) and nice with a detailed backstory. You seem to have found a way to make even the horse a bit green :)

I think that the recent focus on dioramists, makes us fear some things. Are there dioramists enough that are aware of, and purchasing these products, and what does this mean for the economy of your company.

It is annoying that there will be fewer sets/year that are for wargamers, which does kind of end the new golden age of ancient figures, but there are other figure makers, just none as good.

Very nice GeorgeDianelis!

I have never seen anything like them. They are very good. You seem to have kitted them out as the light infantry man as well. Would it be wrong for me to assume that there were a Thracian (Medium) Cavalry type too. Owning a horse seems like a wealthy thing to have.

Thank you Claus.
Yes, the horsemen are placed on the bases so that they represent light cavalry (2 horsemen per base). No, the Thracians did not have medium cavalry. I think the problem was not the maintenance of the horse but the purchase of the equipment. I have come to this conclusion because we see warriors who have a horse but do not have armor. The warriors who had armor were Thracian nobles.

I agree with George Dianelis. It looks very impressive. It is not a set for me, though, but I accept that all sets cannot be for me :)

It is true. Linear-A has previously produced sets around a theme, rather than military. Since there are no further details, we don't know if it for instance is a court scene... or a box of casualties...

I think the problem with the composition of this set is that two groups are being served at the same time. One is the wargamers, another is the dioramist. Usually when you make compromises like that, then nobody is happy. In this case, I might buy a single set, because I like the 2 (out of 4) elephants, but I won't by 2 sets (which I could have, if there were 3 elephants). But I look at it from the wargamers point of view. The dioramist might buy more of them... Or maybe not.

I just noticed..

There are only two Mahuts, but three elephants (that are not dead). Is it possible that you could include an extra copy of one of the Mahuts?

I like them. They look very good :)

I dislike the casualty elephant, but that is mostly because, that it gives me a figure I probably won't use. Some people use them to mark wounds taken in games, but I don't. They are more for a dioramist in my optics. But to each their own. I don't think a casualty set would sell as well, anyway.

Nice short review, and picture. :) I'll look forward to mine arriving...
