Sergeant_Crunch Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 New fig from Herr Klocke and Freebooter... Beginning of August a very young squire, SOL 004, will be available. The miniature kit has 6 parts and a total height of 26 mm. The price will be Euro 8,50. It can be pre-ordered from now on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malebolgia Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 8.50 euros?!?!?!?!?! That is truly insane for such a small guy. Meh...give me Hasslefree kiddies anytime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritual Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Nope, this doesn't appeal to me at all. Freebooter minis are always a bit pricey, but usually you get something more substantial and more original for the price. You could get the Hasslefree kids (3 minis) for less than this one and they also look much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricJ Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 I was sort of wondering about the fact it comes in 6 parts!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdukino Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 base, baseplate, shield, shieldarm, body/head, other arm. I saw this green at Miniatureansichten a while back. Werner showed it to me (together with a few other wip's... must say there are some nice ones comming)... i like this one... But as said before the price is to steep for me... I like the Hasslefree kiddies a lot (as much or maybe even more then these)... and I can get a lot more kiddies there for the same price.

EricJ Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 why do the arms need to be seperate? Aren't the arms basically all on the same plane as the body? Looking now closer at that, the joints where the arms attach at the shoulders don't look as good as it would seem if there was no joint there and were cast in 1 piece. I also don't think that Werners normal face, seen on this mini as well, looks particularly young. The sharp jawline, high cheekbones are definately not typically pre-pubescent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drake Farstrider Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 The price is way to much for me. Its a nice sculpt, but clearly its not his best sculpt. Is that a stick pony opn the ground? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincegamer Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Being the medievalist snob that I am, I feel compelled to point out he's too young to be a squire. He'd be a page. Hate the body pose. Kids are flexible, but I dont' believe their spines bend backward quite that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drake Farstrider Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Well I will be honest, I like this a little more now that it is painted. Still not enough to buy it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illustrange Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 why do the arms need to be seperate? ..... The sharp jawline, high cheekbones are definately not typically pre-pubescent Freebooter's miniatures always seemed to me to be more about *dioramas* than anything else, the price and multi-part nature seem to fit this, mind you, Im not saying that it makes it right to charge so much. and indeed children, especially pewters, should always have chubby cheeks for grandparents to pinch in.

Nathan Caroland Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Welcome to the Wyrd Illustrange. Yeah, like the painted version myself as well and have to agree with the above that most of the Freebooter stuff seems to be geared more towards display pieces as well as dioramas. Some good stuff.
