The newer ancient sets like Carthaginian Veterans, the light-medium-heavy Gauls you asked us to vote for, Celtic Chariots.

Dear Admin.
I've never adopted 28 mm soldiers, for a question of costs, dimensions of wargame tables, and an excess of details which impose to devote an excesive amount of time to obtain new units. They are acceptable for wargame asociations, where a great number of painter can commited themselves in such a work. I started painting Airfix soldiers when I was eight and since then the quality of 1/72s has improved drastically. This is why after fifty years, I keep on painting them happily.
Giovanni.

I dont collect 28mm and would prefer all resources are focused on one scale as there are already options for 28mm by other manufacturers. Danny

Finish the El Cid range before anything else; they're nearly there the rest are too far behind on a long road.

My heart says yes as long as they size with Perry and Warlord models. However I don't expect to see much being made in the near future. We ,your majority of customers all seem to be circling around sixty and probably feel a long wait is too much to buy into.

I bought several boxes of the 28mm Bavarians. They are so much skinnier than the 28mm metal figures I have that I doubt I will use them (I have mostly Foundry which are also 28mm toe to head but are on the small side of available ranges of "28s") . While they are accurately 28mm from foot to top of head (not top of helmet), they look very bizarre next to my other figures.
If you are going to do "28s, make them compatible with the common metal figures available, since I doubt you will be doing enough variety to field entire or opposing armies.

Yes please! - but please make them more compatible withe existing wargames manufacturers ranges, as said above whilst I like "skinny" and realistic looking models if they are going to sell well they must match up with other ranges.

Yes please. Your figures are more correct 28mm than most metals but they dont therefore mix well with other manufacturers. Where there is a range eg your Bavarians, Prussians and French Chasseurs this does nt matter as you have provided the necesssary mix of figures. If your looking to continue in 28mm please complete the El Cid range and i would suggest replicating some of the proposed 32nd or indeed 1/72nd Napoleonics eg Prussian Landwehr, Wuttemburgers, French line infantry. Stay bespoke and fill out a range and the punters will come!

No, already in two scales - I don't have space, time, or money for a third.

No... I collect 1/72 figures since 40 years ago. I se no interest in figures i an other scale. Its waste of resourses in more than one Wat...

The problem with this debate is that we dont want hat to become another warlord games or perry miniatures, so i'd say no to this but i'm a 1/72nd scale guy and i'm sure that there are plenty of people that would love to buy 28mm nappies way cheaper than the ones now available at the market so perhaps this is a good way to fight warlord games... I'm going to leave this with an open question will the sets be cheaper and better?

I've already spoken on this, so consider this an amendment to my previous post: I don't collect 28mm, but have no problem if HaT can meet the demand of others who DO collect the scale as it might help their bottom line and make it possible to continue producing sets I DO collect...

Please complete your El Cid range. Interestly, they scale well with GW LOTR (early) plastics such as Rohirrim.

I know it is fantasy which may be sacriligious to some of your regular customer base, but withe advent of Kings of War*, there seems to be an increased demand for inexpensive, easy to paint 28mm figures for their large armies. (*There is also now Kings of War Historical)

I would only buy more 28mm sets if they are size and style compatible with my existing metal 28mm figures that I would use them with. The ones I have seen tend to be much more slender than metal figures. I bought several boxes of your Bavarians, and they don't really fit with my metal figures from Foundry. They are almost a head taller and, more obviously, very slender in comparison with my Wargames Foundry figures. I don't know if this is driven by difference in materials and molding, or the style of the sculptor. I haven't decided if I will use them or try to sell them. Tried to post a photo but I cant figure out how.
If you were to make compatible figures, I would want Napoleonic 1805-08 Russian, 1812 Russian, 1806 Prussian, and French Allies.
