Think I need the Wilusans for my Trojan Walls project.

A great collection of new sets.
Sea Peoples' archers! The Late Antiquity barbarians would be very valuable for me.
The bridge builders would make a great, drop-in diorama for several wargaming battles _ Aspern?

These all look pretty promising - and I don't see any tree-trunk sized spears as with their recent Roman sets. I could be tempted to supplement my Caesar Bronze Age armies with some of these new Trojans/Western Anatolian types...

I like the Troyans as well as the Goths. And I am also happy to see some new Napoleonics coming. However, I'm not sure whether the ‘gang sets’ can be commercially successful. But they have some nice figures as well.

These look great. I really enjoy the Linear-A subject matter. Not a lot of ancients being produced these days.
Hopefully they are not giants.

Well. Maybe there's only one ancients manufacturer left. But at least they're making a lot.

Wow!
I will have to buy the Hittite Labarna - though I may make mine Muwattali.

They offer a Set labeled as +18 years as well:

#023s Sacramentum militare / decimatio

I have ordered this set. So I can tell you more.

I like very much the Roman soldiers on the northern frontier, the Cleopatra figure and the Assyrian Set.

However much I might like certain sets or individual figures, I’ve made up my mind that I won’t be buying any 3D-printed Linear-a products. The price is exorbitant and it’s not worth it to me. :mrgreen:

I feel similar. As nice as they are, the figures run a bit large and I prefer to see the sculpto'rs hand at work. The prices are definitely a deal breaker.

Yeah, honestly, I like the look of all the models, I especially like Caesar so I might get that set, maybe some of the Assyrians but I won't pick anything else up because of cost. I'm far more selective with the 3D printed sets. I agree that they charge too much. 3D printing doesn't even cost that much anymore, it was more expensive in its early stages.

Their elephant sets amazed me with their prices. I really did want them but I can't justify the prices.

I might buy a 3D printer for my own use. There are STL files offers to download to print.
