Perry Show The Figures They’re Bringing In Their Travel Battles
March 6, 2017 by dracs
Perry Miniatures have been working on the figures for their upcoming game Travel Battles and have just given us our first look at how they are shaping up.
The models of this army will be 8mm scale, and the final force will feature 160 infantry, twenty-four cavalry, four guns and crew, as well as six brigadiers in coloured plastic.
The armies themselves will be produced in both red and blue plastic. As well as these 3-ups, Perry has shown off some of the creation processes that went into making them.
Perry is planning to launch the game at this year's Salute, complete with figures and terrain.
This game is looking really promising as the perfect pick and play historical battle games.
Is this a game you are planning on getting hold of?

Nice. Too bad it’s not fantasy – I’d buy it for sure.
Very excited about this. I love the small scales so I’m excited They’ve just invented another one and the minces are still working just about well enough to consider taking on painting a new army in a tiny scale. Massed battle with units that actually have sufficient figures to represent their historical counterparts without the need for high reduction ratios to fit them on a table. I’m in!
Wow. This looks fascinating. Coming from the Perrys, doubly so!
8mm is going to be around the same size of Adler. As I mentioned earlier I wonder if there taking advantage of GW producing Epic in 8mm. Strange choice of size of figures thougb
That was my first thought, although I can’t see what advantage they they hope to get by matching it. Unless they’re doing what I presume GW are doing which is using a new scale simply to make old units and third party competitors’ units obsolete. But it would seem odd for the Perrys to be going this route, especially for a historical game.
What the hell does this have to do with GW?! Why does everything revolve around f***ing GW?! xD
I can’t possibly imagine that the Perrys expected the cavalry to charge Titans and the like when they were putting these together 🙂
The Perrys used to work for GW, so it’s not surprising if people relate what they do to that company from time to time. Especially when they choose a scale for their new game that is very, very uncommon but just so happens to be the same as the one GW is rumoured to be re-releasing Epic/Titan Legions in. Of course, they’re based in the same city as GW, presumably are still in touch with GW friends, so it could be nothing more than what ‘the in crowd’ are chatting about these days happens to be inspiring them. But it’s… Read more »
they look brilliant.
Cannot wait to see the game and figures!
I’d have preferred 6mm as they are easier to paint. May end up just shading them
Sounds like I have already subconsciously made the decision to buy the game.
I’ll definitely be picking this up. Will be my first entry into this particular historical era.
