Not been a fan since release, too big, too expensive and to be honest the majority are just pure junk, I do however like some of the vehicles, especially the big Prussian tank.

Well, I do like the look of the figures, but don't use them because they are too big and too pricey on my budget.

I instead use Parroom for my VSF soldier needs. They're the right height, the right price, and there are several weird science units.

I'm not sure that I like the strategy that ties a player into a specific range of figures because nothing else will fit with it.

I know that Northstar have provided figure sets for a few of the IHMN companies, but both the scale and style of those figures means that you can use them with other games, such as the excellent Empire of the Dead, and vice versa, as a result we have seen many splendid companies made up of figures from a wide range of manufacturers.

What the Dystopian Legions range have done means that as people have stated above, they cannot use them for other games such as IHMN and EotD, so that company has lost sales as a result. It seems a little self-defeating really.

Dans les situations critiques, quand on parle avec un calibre bien en pogne, personne ne conteste plus. Y'a des statistiques là-dessus.

Visually I like them but the combination of large scale and high cost means I wouldn't really ever use them for anything.

large scale is not a problem for the walker ... if the crew is separated
but the price is a real problem .

Unless you come up with some reason for them to be outsized. Human growth hormone, or some other special serum that has produced a band of giants.

They're not taller, they're just closer to the camera.

Wait.
