Battlestandard Miniatures

The only 25/28mm vendor that I have never heard of has his booth right next to ours. The owner (also sculptor) Jeff is a fine fellow and we talked a bit about his company. Apparently they used to make a line of 15mm (ACW?) figures some years ago, the line went away, but now he is reviving the company with a new line of Ancients in 25/28 mm. The first range is the Persians, with the Macedonians soon to follow. The Persian Range is very complete already, and of very high quality indeed (I would call it very New-Foundry like in style, very much like Crusaders or Artizan). Since our group is close to finishing our Punic War project, Macedonians definitely seem like something we can go for.

Battle Standard also has a set of rules coming out, aiming squarely at the WAB crowd but trying to make it more historical. That should be out by Historicon as well. (www.battlestandard.com)
