Wargames Factory Plastics
« on: July 09, 2009, 05:18:44 PM »
Hey,  (if this is in the wrong board, im sorry)

I couldnt resist picking up some loose Ancient German and Numidian sprues at my FLGS.

The quality has improved over their earlier sets ( and the amount of extras is crazy ;D), i'm beginning to really like Wargames Factory.

Anyway, photos:

I had no need for ancient germans so i turned this one into a farmer for out Darkest Africa games by adding a martini henry


and this one into a messenger with a bag made of green stuff


The numidians i figure will end up in darkest africa too somehow, the models painted up easily and quickly






Overall, i was impressed by these minis, and i have no doubt that further sets will continue to get better.
Now, will my local games shop hurry up and get the zulus in! ;D

Cheers,
Sam

The Numdians would make good denizens of a lost city. They have ancient style of dress and weapons.

Nice!
Is there a picture of the Ancient German sprues somewhere? 
A CANADIAN local hobby store with a small selection of historical wargames miniatures (mainly from Warlords). They also have a great selection of paint and hobby accessories from Vallejo, Army painter, AK Interactive, Green Stuff World and more.; https://www.kingdomtitans.ca/us/

Exactly what i was thinking, defenders of an ancient temple, with some strange evil magic at work.

and yep:



theres definitely another sprue full of bodies to go with it, but this is the only one ive seen

I was curious about those Wargames factory zombies, I've never purchased wargames factory models before, what was the on sprue quality like? nice and clean or did they require allot of work to get clean?

be nice for a cheap civilian zombie alternative for WWII, as the clothing looks generic enough on most of them for undead european civis.

as for the painting they looks great as well of course

Thanks,
The sprues have small mould lines that i got rid of with a needle file and a modelling knife, assembling them did take a while but you get that with any multipart plastics.
