Resin is a big no no for me but at least it does not look like feeces.

All those minis should be plastic after the Kickstarter.

Plastic moulds cost a fortune and most companies label resin as plastic.

So do not get your hopes up.

"The most aerial model ever created"

The most meaningless attribute ever made to look like a selling point

Funny though!

I think GW soured a lot of people on resin with Finecast, but I think it's a great material to work with. Mierce Miniatures and Black Scorpion have done some amazing figures with it....

Ha ha ha... Nice rip off minis!

Some of them look quite cool.

Nice - all metal! Now I can easily forget about FW.

Very nice ripoffs!

ZeroTwentythree · « **Reply #1987 on:** July 13, 2013, 06:43:39 PM »

I think they're ok. But theyre charging premium prices, and most of the figures - while good - don't merit that kind of price for me. For example, the Breugelburg figures are around half that price.

cjp · « **Reply #1988 on:** July 14, 2013, 09:37:35 PM »

Yep, That black chapel stuff is a joke. Twice the price and half the quality of the LAF/Bruegelberg stuff.

Shadowlord · « **Reply #1989 on:** July 14, 2013, 10:26:40 PM »

Being biased is not the same as being correct.

Victor · « **Reply #1990 on:** July 14, 2013, 10:59:10 PM »

I like the style, but not so much the final product nor the price. (The greens look better than the final product ..) Whoever runs this company definitely won't get rich this way.

I don't know if I'd go that far. Some of it looks pretty good. I like the unpainted version of the veteran (no goggles, pointing) and the engineer with his foot up on the chest.

White Knight · « **Reply #1992 on:** July 15, 2013, 08:27:12 AM »

I got a couple and they are much more crisp than you might think from the pictures. Good quality. Also, each figure comes with alternate arm and head options in the blister, which should give you some nice options for converting more unique figures.

Von Trinkenessen · « **Reply #1993 on:** July 15, 2013, 12:30:01 PM »

I find it fascinating how snobby we're all getting .

I suppose if GW is all you know that's the problem, sometimes the plainest mediocre sculpted figure can look great and full of character if the muse is with you when you paint ,that being said if the muse is not with you even the best sculpted figure can look a state if daubed with paint.

oak_prince · « **Reply #1994 on:** July 15, 2013, 03:15:07 PM »

The poses are dreadful. Especially that swordsman guy.

If I'm going to pay a premium for metal characters, I at least want some sense of movement. Swinging a zweihander in a gleaming arc, urging the troops forward, shouting a challenge, that sort of thing. Not just standing around with shouldered weapons.

Characterful faces, though. I'll give them that.

The trolls look quite decent, and streets ahead of the shitty human models they've released. Thin legs though.

Right... drum roll...

How many bloody trolls have you come across, then?

Really. It took me 2 weeks to think that one up. And it was funnier when I was stoned.

Interesting, because ironically I tend to look for static poses. Because I use figures in photos for stories (bat reps, campaign fluff), I tend to favour ones who look like they're walking, talking, looking out over a battlement, resting etc. Otherwise every pic I did would have to be of a fight.

That's pretty cool. I didn't notice it when I saw their original news posts, but now that I look at the site more, I see the listings of the other hand/head options. I will give them fair dues for that! I like variety

How much have you paid for the shipment? That for me is the biggest selling factor.
