Today I managed to get hold of something of a holy grail for my collection. Another of the original units featured in the Thistlewood scenario in WD43, from Joe Dever's collection. This time the Royal Centaurs of King Amias. Figures by Asgard, I was hoping to collect enough to create the unit myself, but I've only ever been able to buy three, so presumably quite a rare figure.
Here they are in the picture of the army deployment in the article.
And in another of Joe's battles
and finally arriving, perhaps a bit battered, to the attic. I'll need to replace the spears, some of which are cocktail sticks, but I won't interfere with the bases or painting.
Asgard Miniatures - now there's a blast from the past !
ReplyDeleteYes, many of their figures are still in production from Viking forge and Alternative armies, but not these.
DeleteI hope you don't mind if I share this post to the Asgard Miniatures Collectors group on Facebook?

DeleteHi Phil. I'll post it myself...I'm on the Asgard group under the name of Doug Deeply ( I initially only used Facebook for metal detecting contacts, hence the moniker).
DeleteOkay no problem
DeleteI see it on there.. that's fine, saves me a job👍
DeleteEr, I deleted my comment after reading yours 11.09... so you still have a job to do !

DeleteWow that's an awesome addition to the collection.
ReplyDeleteA collection that leads to penury and madness...
DeleteTerrific !
ReplyDeleteI was thrilled to land another unit from my childhood dreams.
DeleteWell done!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mike.
DeleteExcellent! The old figure ranges have a lot of personality, and I prefer them over more modern, streamlined, but oh so stereotypical figures.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree, they have real character compared to new sculpts.
DeleteA nice find! Very noble looking fellows!
ReplyDeleteThey are indeed. They have a Rohan look about them.
