I've been thoroughly enjoying Loki's posts regarding the recently released range of miniatures from 'Warbases'; this new menagerie of animals are just perfect for adding a bit of depth to any table and reminded me that I had recently picked up some exciting new additions for my own collection. Yes those talented chaps over at 'Mysterious Minis', purveyors of the perplexing and enigmatic have done it again and released another must have box of miniatures.
Sculpted by the mischievous Ffwl Ebrill, this set really is a delight to behold with the box containing all you need to give your cows or sheep that just rustled look. With fencing, barbed wire and enough livestock to keep even the most fervent thief busy on a moonlight night, the magical ingredients have to be a couple of pre-sculpted base plates.

Designed to provide the evidence of foul play, the two sculpted base plates give you a couple of options to depict either the tracks of a horse drawn cart of perhaps a more modern alternative by using the one with tyre tracks - ingenious!
These were some of the most exquisitely detailed miniatures you could wish to find, provided of course that you could find them. The fences and base plates aside, it was the livestock that really sets this set apart from the rest, but they are proving somewhat elusive - yes it would appear that some ne'er do wells have liberated my prize steeds and on the first day of April as well!

very good kit.
ReplyDeletewaiting to see what you'll do with it.
bye
That might be a while Luca.
DeleteInteresting. What will you be able to get next..... mutilated cattle? Crop Circles? UFO landing sites.....
ReplyDeleteI do like the kit though and look forward to seeing how you approach this.
Some great ideas there Clint, watch this space this time next year!
DeleteFfwl Ebrill? That's not a name, that's a bad Scrabble hand!
ReplyDeleteStill, I MUST get a copy!
I think I've heard of the sculptor before - Welsh chappie apparently.
DeletePip pip
Welsh? Who'd have thought it!
DeleteThey'd go well with last year's crew of Marie Celeste!
ReplyDeleteWell spotted that man.
DeleteNice and it does look like an interesting set.

DeleteI used to have a box of their "Escape from Colditz Prisoners" but can't find a single one of them now.
ReplyDeleteLol, nice!
DeleteBrillant! I'm sure I'll be on the look out for those too.
DeleteGood one. Up there with 'Tartan Paint'! Well done.
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff that tartan paint, I'll have you know! :)
DeleteWell played sir!
ReplyDeleteWill they produce a MacGuffin box next year? A game of Grouchy's attack at Placenoit?
Cheers PD
Very good Sir, I like your thinking.
DeleteLooking nice and interesting!
ReplyDeleteReally Phil?
DeleteAnother pleasant surprise by my favorite purveyor of gentlemen's miniature toys.
ReplyDeleteYou are too kind sir!
DeleteMysterious Michael, very mysterious indeed. I like it.
ReplyDeleteThank you Pat, best start planning for next year.
DeleteAre you taking the mickey out of us? I can't find this company anywhere and you didn't give us a link.

DeleteNicely done Michael.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't tempt you then Francis?

ReplyDeleteYou should see what else they're planning Monty.
DeleteVery well put together set! I can certainly appreciate the work that's gone into it! ;p
ReplyDeleteThank you Derek, far too much if the truth be told and at the expense at what I was supposed to be doing - still it was fun.
Delete:0) Nice one Sir M!
ReplyDeleteI knew I would have to get up earlier to catch you out Ray!
DeleteWell done sir!
ReplyDeleteThank you Kevin, do you have a blog Sir?
DeleteI believe the penalty for such is still hanging in these parts. Just saying...
ReplyDeleteCertainly to be avoided, if at all possible - it is all very final!
DeleteI'd probably buy that boxset (these posts are always a highlight at this particular time of year).
ReplyDeleteThank you Matt, I see if I can 'rustle' up something new for next year!
DeleteVery interesting.
ReplyDeleteThank you Juan, tempting aren't they?
DeleteI knew there was something amiss
ReplyDeleteMostly the sheep and cows! :)
DeleteHilarious! I need some animals so I'm clicking right over.
ReplyDeleteGood luck finding them! ;)
