Oh yes, I really like those. I was about to order them a few months ago, but I found out that line of miniatures is a bit bigger than my pulp stuff. But since they're in the air, it might not be as noticable.

Very cool indeed!

Looking at them again they do seem a tad large, thou quoted as 28mm. ??

i've never seen them in flesh, but apparently Spartan Games decided to go with his own scale. They are bigger than gw size, and tougher too... that's a pity, indeed! ^^

Prof. Dinglebat, if you are interested in those i've seen more than one fella selling them in the Bazaar here on LAF

Thought these miniatures were scaled closer to 32mm can be wrong though.  ;) But looking at the pictures I quite like them.

At a guess I'd say one piece. But part is resin and the other pewter  :?

Each contain 12-14 highly-detailed minatures. Each miniature is pewter with the
exception of the Prussian Empire Teutonic Knights, which is a combination of
resin and pewter, and the Kingdom of Britannia Sky Hussars, which are pewter
miniatures with resin smoke plumes.

And on the same site... "The models themselves are pretty good- significantly bigger than 40K stuff, more 30mm than 28mm."

THERE HUGE.  :o Bigger the 40k...WOW

I've also heard that the figures from this range are quite large.
A friend doing Prussian stuff said they work okay but they don't really mix well (scale-wise) with his other stuff.
Below is a link to my blog. It's the place where I write uninteresting things about little toy soldiers. I do this because I refuse to grow up and behave like an adult.
