Interesting fact for you all.

I posted this thread on TMP and here at similar times.

On TMP, it has 6 posts and 85 page views.
Here, it has 17 posts and 447 page views.

Yes, but on TMP it is posted in Medievals, sub board early, sub board European, sub board 28mm (crossposted to 25mm), sub board plastic and the first reply is someone criticizing them for not being made in metal. The second being a review from someone who  has not bothered to open the box but has seen other 28mm plastic figures so bases his incorrect assumptions on prior predjudice. The third someone asking if they come with bricoles and the fourth a poll about whether their favourite 80s/90s band was the Pet Shop Boys.:D

well, these models are really good. To paint a fireforge's model is as to paint a games workshop model. All the little details of the miniatures are really good sculpted. In the historical range i think that only plastic perry miniatures have a similar quality. The models are good for dipping, for stratification. These are painted with base level, with the use of washes and the washes thanks to the good sculping of the models have done a really good and fast work

i didn't try the drybrush. This will be a future experiment. My concern is the presence on the models of really little details (as the scales of the padded armor)

I think I just fell in love!  I must have these to add to a growing fantasy army.   :)

I've been wanting to do a 40K medieval world Genestealer Cult for ages, but I didn't want to use GW Bretonians. These are perfect :)

These are going to be very useful indeed. Not just for medievals but fantasy stuff too.

I like these for Game of Thrones Winterfell/Lannister Troops
Yearly painting challenges only show me how useless I am at painting...
