Should the plastic orcs costing a mere 21p be included under the EM4 entry?http://www.em4miniatures.com/acatalog/Copy_of_Fantasy.html
Hope this is helpful
Thanks

Hello!

These guys...

http://www.alternative-armies.com/

Have some great high fantasy miniatures in the £2 price range. Really nice sculpts, I think mainly Bob Olley.

Cheers,

EvilD

Shortwars sell a range of decently priced metal miniatures and their core sculpts are the old Landschneckt Goblins and Halflings by Kev Adams (commissioned by White Knight in 2011).
There are quite a varied range of modular units with head and weapon swaps. Normally they are priced at ~ £1.66 per miniature (based on a unit of 6 for £10) but there is currently a Kickstarter underway with at least 20% off the normal retail price - more of a discount for the larger pledges!

Nope, sorry. They've disappeared from the pre releases and the link I followed doesn't show them anymore.

This was the article I saw :http://wargameterrain.blogspot.com.es/2017/01/wayland-games-new-affordable-wizkids.html

I've seen some of them. They seem to be in the specialist miniatures section but there is something like 1000 minis to trawl through. What I've seen looks good though. Cheap and good quality.

Since the Black Cat bases debacle is still going on, they maybe should be removed as a recommendation till they have sorted things out?!

what debacle? can you point me in the right direction for information?

They were having problems delivering orders to customers. It seems no longer to be the case, I ordered recently and there were no major problems. They got one item slightly wrong but corrected it and comms were good. I wouldn't hesitate to order again.

I'd say Reaper Bones but... bendy plastic and all that.
