I'm debating the suitability of PP's upcoming plastic (or "plastic," as the case may be) Khador Winter Guard rifles for an ongoing project of mine. I don't do the Hor-machine thing, though, and don't even own any of their figures yet*, so I'm pretty much in the dark on how Privateer's plastic boxed sets usually work.
I know the "Winter Guard Infantry" plastic box was due to drop this past Wednesday, so I'm hoping someone here has at least seen it, as I'm assuming the set that I actually want (the Rifles box of plastics) will either share sprues/parts, or at least break down similarly.
So, first things first- since it's probably too much to hope that PP has switched to polystyrene, can I assume they're cast from the "restic" material that I've read is PP's go-to nonmetal material?
How do the figures break down on the sprue, or tab, or whatever the parts are cast on? Is it the traditional "separate heads, separate arms (w/ or w/out integral weapons), either separate torsos and legs or one piece torso+legs (Leg-os? HAHAHAhem. Sorry.), assorted accessories," or are they divvied up into funky, irregular chunks that'll turn converting them into WWI-themed retro sci-fi troops into tilting at windmills?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

* Well, I own one figure- a bigass "Gnarlhorn Satyr Heavy Warbeast" thing. I couldn't resist, when I saw it on sale- that's a whole lotta metal for $17!
