I really like those Warlord Games Celts! I bookmarked that one. Has anyone gotten their minis before and can confirm that they look good in forces with GW's LotR line (considering GW's own metal and plastics aren't in great scale to begin with)? I think they may make excellent Wild Men (and even throw in some female warriors for variety).
One thing I really like about them is in addition to the nice variety of troops they have "wounded" models available. I have been wanting to make some wounded or otherwise "blank" bases to fill in my movement trays when models are lost from a Company, but at GWs prices and the effort to convert potentially 7 such wounded figures per Formation I will play it just hasn't been high on the list. To be able to order a set of such figures is very cool.
I have two sets and they aren't in scale with each other, either. The Imperial Roman Veterans are about the size of plastic Numenorean Warriors, though maybe a tad shorter. The Auxiliaries are a fair amount bigger; around the size of a RRG on foot, but with slightly bigger heads.
As I said, I bought the Auxiliaries on a whim because they were a good price. I was going to use them as Dunlendings, but the armour and spears don't make sense. I have a thread in another section of the boards about Dunlending proxies...
