well do you know where to find “many” of these CH figurines? That could interest me, not in terms of collecting (though a bit…) but for roleplaying purposes actually

A quick note on CH 7 et al

Prince August released a lot of its moulded characters as higher detailed pre-cast figures. The CH-7 from the blister is a LOT nice than the 679 moulding kit. The same goes for the BA barbarians – they were also released as the 681 fighters set.

You can find some old PA figures on Ebay occasionally. I think the BA set is up there now. ITs just much harder to find them.

Par example:

The same guy is selling a “future shock” Healer as a “bard with lute” – I was confused at first.

I wonder if I should add the Prince August “Fantasy Armies” series, somewhere in the database?

after all, these are early chris tubb works… quite rare indeed, rare but not as worthy as mithril… they lack some of the finesse that Chris has developped in the later years…

I myself possess :

LC5(CH32) LC7 LC8(VL3) LC9(VL4) LC10(CH37) (LC stands for Legendes Celtiques, the brand the Chris was working on early in his professionnal Life, for a french RPG, alongside Bitume, these figurines were later or before that, used in the Character ranges of Fantasy Armies series “CH”)
The LC7 seems quite unique because I could not find anywhere else, it is some kind of amazon throwing a javelin (which I miss)

still there are many CH I would be interested in, I should begin by asking Mithril to send them what they have…

I think you absolutely should.

Maybe even convince people to haul things out of their drawers and put them on ebay, even.

the problem with these early range, is to find a complete catalogue and a clean reference range… it is hard to come by the full list of what exists… apparently there is CH1 – CH38 but there are holes hard to fill… there are others sub references, it is a mess like some references existing in two collections (L & CH or VL & CH) … I’d need more info…

I have a few of those

Casting the Elf knights is always…special. The pose you have photographed is the one that always works. The fellow holding the shield horizontally never works. They do, however, make useful Last Alliance Noldor, if you put them beside the armoured Gil-Galad, Cirdan and Elrond.

I love that elf, actually it could even be used as an elf from the Valar host of the Vanyar led by Eonwë at the War of Wrath (when Morgoth is vanquished, Angband destroyed) at the end of the First Age

They are a bit short to be Vanyar. Perhaps Noldor warriors of the Vanyar host?

The 32mm cast High Elves seem to have been inspired by the Elves of Gondolin article in the Tengwar magazine.

well I don’t know what their size is? 32mm or 25mm? this elf is quite slender actually, more than noldor in armor… which made me think about Vanyar maybe… but this is “forbidden talk”

They are a sort of tall 25mm. They don’t look bad compared to the 32mm Mithrils.

Ooooh…so the later CHs were the same as the Legends Celtiques?

Because I’d spotted a few connections before (the Village Juggler, for instance)

Also, the poster looks eerily familiar. Is that the one I scanned?

well actually gavin, for some CH reference you have a L number too, the L (actually LC) number is their matching reference in the Legendes Celtiques (LC) box… there are 10 of them, and I think one or two do not exist in CH range… all the others do. I have five of them (LC5-10)

that’s also a reason on why there are so many dunlendings in the Mithril range… Chris loves doing celtic figurines, and dunlending matches his concept of celtic I think, that’s also matching the Helm’s Deep2 figurines…

that’s also why he makes irish ranges, and soon irish iron age, (of which I put a pit not so long ago)

many celtic figurines…

Here is my CH 07, bought before my first mithril:

[imgz url=http://mmp.faerylands.eu/uploads/553_ch07b.jpg]http://mmp.faerylands.eu/uploads/thumbs/553_ch07b.jpg[/imgz]

I have always thought this reference looked like mithril ones. This is why I kept it safe.
