Has any one purchased from these guys? Their stuff looks really nice.

Can anyone comment on size comparisons?

I talked to Weeks ago with Frank from the Tactica about them. He likes them and used them for his Saga-North Germany Project. Send you a link later

I may be being very picky here but although the overall quality of the scultping is great I think the poses look at bit wooden?

Anyone else think that or am I really being too picky?

I bought some and rate them as the best in my historical collection - better than Foundry, Gripping Beast (not difficult) and Tanatus. The sculpts are lovely and the casts are very good, so no complaints from me. Scale wise they are about the same as Gripping Beast, a little bit smaller than Foundry - as is most stuff, Foundry do tend towards the chunky size. I didn't buy direct, but bought from the UK distributor, Old Glory.

What country are they out of?  The +7 phone number looks like Russia?  VERY nice stuff!  WOW!

Old Glory Uk seems to carry them.

I saw them there while searching for Saracens for my Crusader project. The Drabant miniatures looks nice but I have no experience with them my self. I have thought about getting some but Im not into Vikings at the moment.

I think they are rather nice - especially the huscarl/Varangian types.

Took me awhile to find these beauties, so have posted the images. Love everything Frank does.  :-*

Some may appear a little stock, but if they mixed well with others, could bring some very nice variations to a unit.

That's good to know and they are reasonably priced too.
