Old Glory Persians


I’m using Old Glory Persians as proxy models for my Harad army.  I shopped around quite a bit before finally settling on these.  This process was more protracted than necessary, mainly because many of the companies that manufacture and sell 10mm models do not feature images of their products online.  Old Glory is no exception, which is a shame, because I’m certain they would sell more miniatures if they posted photos.  But perhaps they have their desired customer base and growth is not an immediate concern for them.

Fortunately, Rob Smith of Great Hall Miniatures has made efforts in this department for the benefit of us all.  His site currently includes quality photos of “naked” (unpainted) Old Glory, Pendraken, and Magister Militum.  (I’m aware that Magister Militum is in the process of uploading photos of well painted models from their entire range, and applaud their efforts.  GHM’s photos are therefore a welcome complement, since they present clear images of the models sans paint.)

I mention GHM now, because I plan to include links to their catalog whenever I mention Old Glory models as a way of saying thanks.  (I will, of course, include links to the OG site as well.)

Speaking of which, if you’ve never ordered OG models before, you may be confused, after a quick Google search, to find that there are four Web sites devoted to OG miniatures: Old Glory, OldGloryUK, OldGlory15s, and OldGlory25s.  What’s the difference?

Old Glory main site
Company Web site for the “complete” range of OG miniatures.  Very few pictures.  Interestingly, they don’t have their own 10mm siege engine models on their Web site.

Old Glory UK
Same as US main site, but based in the UK.  Few pictures.

Old Glory 15s
A completely different company.  They’ve got lots of pictures, but their site is clunky.

Old Glory 25s
A coöp between Old Glory Corp and Merrimack Miniatures.  Like the OG main site, this one doesn’t have a lot of pictures.  Unlike the OG main site, they have the 10mm siege stuff in their catalog.
Back to the Persians…

I really like these models.  The size is standard 10mm, the details are crisp, and the price is right.  Plus, they look great as Harad.  There are, however, a couple things a buyer should know about before making a purchase: figures per stand and stand length.

Figures Per Stand:

Old Glory                                                 5
Copplestone Castings                         5
GW Warmaster                                      6
GW BoFA (metal and plastic)          7

Strip Length:

Command strip         25mm        (10 per pack)
Spearmen                    32mm        (20 per pack)
Heavy Infantry         28mm        (20 per pack)

I hope this helps…
