Crusaders given a make over!

When we took on the Magister Militum 10mm ranges, we quickly decided that our work would fall into two parts.  Firstly, to ensure that the supply of these wonderful sculpts would be maintained, and secondly to expand and, hopefully, improve and expand the available offer.

Both are huge tasks, but the second part is very daunting.  I am delighted to say that the results of our first efforts are now available in the form of the Crusaders range.   What you see here will form the template of how we see Tenth Legion ranges will be presented in future.  The most important feature is our move to supplying figures in strips.   Yes, it’s a wee bit controversial in some quarters, but this really does make things a lot easier at every stage, from painting to basing.  Here is an example of what to expect:

New Crusades figures

Hi All, as you may now, we are working on the 10mm Crusades range as the first to be overhauled and reformatted on to strips.

We've become strippers...

Hello All,

It’s been a little quiet from Tenth Legion of late.  It’s not that we are shy or anything, just more that we are very busy working behind the scenes.

The Magister Militum range is packed full of wonderful sculpts and we are working to present these in the best way possible.  One of the major changes that we are undertaking is converting the range from single castings to strips.

Tenth LEGION 10mm, US Tariffs and Colours Wargames show

This week, Tenth Legion is mostly US-centred, but there is a section at the end of the post for UK residents do so keep reading.

Macedonians added and collection at shows

Just a quick note to say that we have added Macedonians to the Tenth Legion catalogue. All the codes now have accessible photographs and it’s much easier to order them.

One major difference to the figures is that you will see that the phalangites are now based on strips.   I know that it’s not a concept that everyone is happy with, but for formed troops in dense formations it makes life a lot easier when it comes to both painting and especially basing the finished units.

Napoleonic Austrians

The Tenth Legion marches on, as we’ve been adding more codes to the illustrated part of the catalogue.  Firstly, we’ve expanded the Napoleonic nations available, with the additions of the Austrians.   I’ve always thought that this is a much maligned army by wargamers.  Yes, they were the perennial losers to the French on multiple occasions, but they were Napoleon’s most persistent foes, always bouncing back from defeat and eventually coming out as victors with their coalition partners.   On top of that, I’ve always considered them to have the nicest uniforms – who can resist an army that has ‘parrot green’ as part of their uniform options?
