Box 1 contained a full WRG 6th Edition Aztec army (all Tin Soldier figures). When DBM came in the army was so emasculated it was not worth fielding. Given that the 2016 army lists have made many changes I hoped that there was now a viable force to be had - such hopes were soon dashed.
Box 2 contained a mixture of figures and manufacturers. Sorting that lot out will take time.
As it was approaching the 'Black Friday' event I was tempted by the Lurkio advert and decided to order a few items:
1 x Mapuche Generals - MPBG01 £1.00 3 figs (gen pointing, gen mace,
gen spear)
1 x Cañari General - CABG01 £0.60 2 figs (gen pointing, conch blower)
1 x Moorish Prince LMBG01 £0.75 1 mtd figure
1 x South American Camp Set - SACS01 £4.50 2 figs, 6 llamas,
6 saddle-packs
1 x Moorish Subordinate General LMBG02 £0.75 1 mtd figure
1 x Inca Slingers - VARIETY PACK - INBG06 £7.00 25 figs (3 varieties)
p&p = £3.73
Never having dealt with this manufacturer before (and the contact address is in South Africa) I was a little apprehensive. Nevertheless I put in the order on Sat 30th Nov and it arrived on Wed 3rd Dec - pretty quick turnaround.
Under the previous owner Lurkio packs were £14 for 24 foot figures. Now there are 'pack breakers' with only 4 figures @ £3. This makes forming DBA armies a lot easier.
The figures are on the slim side and approx 18mm from head to toe. Curiously the mounted duo are split at the waist with the legs molded onto the horse. Unlike, say, Baueda there is no locating peg so it will be necessary to glue and probably fill the void.
Once I work out what I have in Box 2 I can think about ordering more from Lurkio. Watch this space.......
