Post by: abhorsen950 on 29 November 2009, 02:33:52 PM
I was in my local WHSMITH reading Wargames Illustrated and these were advertised

Would do perfect for Zombie games or Post Apocolyptic

Enjoy guys

I've seen these in the flesh and they are really nice. The rioters and riot cops would be perfect for futurewars/zombie stuff. And they do really cool SWAT teams!

I purchased their Terrorists. Nice figures, but really on the small side 28mm. Which is sad really. They do not fit with the likes of Foundry or Copplestone...

Not sure if the rest of the Near Future range is the same though.

These are ones I've been meaning to put on the Scale-O-Matic. So I better do that!

I have the Riot Police all done now, nice figures, Thinner and slightly taller than most though so if you dont want to mix and match you need to consider that.

Vyper check out their new rioters 33 figures just released in total :-*

Not being able to judge the scale of something really puts me off from purchasing lot of this stuff.


If anyone has a pic showing comparision between these and 'more common' (ie copplestone, EM-4, hasslefree) minis, I'd give you a big man hug!

Offensive miniatures mounted riot squad (with hasslefree riot shield)
Hasslefree riot police conversion
Hasslefree Ken
Hasslefree not nicolas angel

Griffin female cop
Offensive minatures riot police on foot
Hasslefree riot police

Verdict: Very nice, scale well, torso a little long but no issue and will paint up really nicely with the rest of the fuzz!

I will promise to get photos of my painted ones up this weekend, havent taken photos of any figures for a long time

Horses are nice but just a little too thin and as Vyper says the tall rider makes it look like they are ponies.

Just received some this week.
Very nice sculpts, crisp detail and little flash. As Commander Vyper stated, one that I have seems a bit long in torso but the rest are bang on for body proportions. Upright figures come in around 28mm foot to eye. Depending on the minis you play with, they may be on the small side with thin (realistic) proportions. In my case they look like teenagers in comparison so I'm just going to have a terrorist gang of teenagers. :D
Here's another comparison pic.

Westwind Detective, RAFM Desirae, Offensive SWAT, Offensive terrorist, Copplestone jungle trooper, GW SM

Overall, beautiful minis.

...teens are young, impressionable, and have no sense of there mortality lol.

I dunno, maybe the city-folk variety are. The bumpkins over here would rather shoot from a grave distance away with their hunting rifles than rush anyone with a broken bottle.

duah, you know how hard it it so get these rednecks to sign any thing, all of the studies are done on bored inner city teens. the country ones are to busy working and doing stuff in the woods to get sucked into beer bottle brike bat debate
