This resulted in me searching online for better looking shields at a decent price. ![]() I did buy the appropriate plastic shields for the models but it became obvious rather early on that they weren’t working for me visually. Speaking of which, one of the things that makes the plastic models look very samey, apart from them being identical sculpts, is their shields. My army is now at the 2500 point mark and that’s still cost me under £100 and includes me buying some frivolous items that improved the look of the plastic models. As I mentioned earlier, they lack the character of the classic Citadel ranges but they’re still really great sculpts imo and they rank up into a great looking army. Don’t get me wrong, I understand that not everybody likes these miniatures. Sure, there are the usual nutters on ebay wanting £25 for a model I can buy new for £3 but there are also a decent number of bargains to be had very easily. On ebay I’ve been averaging 60p or less per metal model when buying in bulk which has been really great. It’s also hard to ignore just how cheap these miniatures are to come by second hand, or even new. ![]() In fact, I really love the look of the army! ![]() These models might not be as characterful as the ever popular 80’s/90’s Citadel ranges but there’s a battle hardened look to the Grenadier range that I’ve really started to appreciate as I’ve been building the army. Since buying those bags of plastic Grenadier Dwarf models from EM4 along with a number of Grenadier metal models from Forlorn Hope Games I’m becoming a bit of a convert to the Grenadier range, particularly the Nick Lund sculpts for the Grenadier Fantasy Warriors game.
