Newline Designs & Drum and Flag

Well, I've put in the order for the command figures and some extra Roman infantry and Goth archers from Newline. Now to wait.

I probably should have just ordered one set to see how compatible they were with the Miniart figures, or at least done a bit more research, but I went the whole hog and ordered a bunch. Oh well, we'll see how compatible they are once they arrive!

Drum and Flag are selling the HaT late Roman light cavalry for $AU 15.16 including postage, whereas the same pack is going for $27.00 at Hearns' Hobbies! How can that be possible? Buying something from the other side of the world and having it flown over the globe is $12 cheaper than going into the city and buying it from a local shop! I suppose the brick and mortar hobby shop will soon be a thing of the past if things go on like this.


I like to support local independent businesses, but that's fairly much a no-brainer IMHO; next purchase will be from Drum & Flag.

    These look good; ordered some stuff from Drum&Flag already, mainly HäT/Strelets, they're cheap and the service is reliable.

    I'm afraid you have little choice but to go with the cheapest option, but such a shame for the independent retailers. That said there are a great number of small companies flourishing because of the way that they have embraced internet sales.
