Tiger Miniatures: WW1 Range any good?
« on: May 12, 2010, 09:13:34 PM »
I already asked about their colonial ranges, and was warned off, but there are slightly more positive reviews of their WW1 ranges scattered here and there. Can anyone comment on these figs? Specifically the Bulgarians, if it's any help. Are they as roughly cast as the others? Do they paint up well? Too much flash? Etc.

As before, if I should run, not walk away, feel free to warn me.

I think that is a bit harsh. Some of them are actually more than ok.

I visited a show with Thunderchicken earlier in the year and was sorely tempted to get a few sets to paint up and show what could be done with them. TC did actually buy some but I do not think he has got around to doing them yet.

Some are better than others mind.

I'm tempted by them if only because the Salonkia front fascinates me, and nobody else currently does miniatures for some of these armies. Which were "ok", if you don't mind me asking, Svenn?

If you like the details on Renegade, Brigade and the like you will be disappointed with Tiger.  They paint up ok but I feel that they have a quality level of the mid range quality Old Glory figures (ok but not really good and crisp).
