Thanks for the kind words, the melee troops are all strips. Most of the figures in "formation" from the Old Glory ranges are in strips but not necessarily all of them. Not necessarily everyone's favorite but I will say it allows one to speed paint because alot of the details are in nooks and crannies that can left primer black.
My favorite scale of figures is 10mm (followed by 6mm) and I have come to appreciate the Old Glory ranges and use them for many projects, especially those I want to crank though at a quicker pace.
