I don’t really understand why anyone would pay premium prices for the Wargames Factory ancient Germans or Gauls, even if they are out of production. They were difficult to get into natural looking poses and the details were pretty soft. In my opinion, there are way better figures out now, even if you have to do some kit bashing for some troop types.
The parallel to the Foundry poses the original poster shows is interesting- the designers definitely seem to have drawn on the older metal figures for inspiration.
I don’t know if anyone is paying premium prices. Lots of stuff on eBay is listed very high but it does not mean it sells.
I would not pay a premium price (I believe Warlord Games is charging premium prices for the old Wargames Factory sets - they are now certainly double what WGF charged for them).
I happen to have a number of boxes I never finished (started) because it was so hard to get them into natural looking poses.
Noting how they are essentially copies of the Wargames Factory figures has made getting the poses a bit better a little easier.
That includes using arms from their Numidians kit (more variety, now arms being arm and bow moulded as one).
If the price is anywhere near even half of the Victrix set, but the Victrix set - it’s worth the money in comparison. If it’s more than half the price of Victrix just leave it.
