As in good value for money? Or good as a 1250 point army?

Well, if you have no Bretonnian/Medieval figures at all and you do not live in the UK - meaning the basic rulebook is basically un-findable at anything resembling a reasonable price - the set is an ok value as a starter box.
As an army, it's fluffy enough - read: it contains a decent amount of regular troops, making it look like a real army might - but how competitive it is against Power Gamers and Rules Lawyers who will hero, elite and Linehammer the crap out of you in even just a friendly game....well....

Does anyone know if the 30x60 bases have slots?

All i want is Men-at-arms.
Are they available separate?

P.S I used to sell nerdy stuff online. I'm tempted to make a pun about He-man's friend
