Wargames Factory Ancient Germanics Review
« on: February 13, 2014, 08:40:25 PM »
This isn't really in the wrong place. My intention is to use these in my Dark Ages game as a source of Strathcylde cavalry for Saga and skirmish cavalry / Germanic mercenaries for Dux Brit.

I've read a lot of things that say these are pretty ropey. I've written a review of my initial experiences on the blog here:
http://mitchwargaming.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/wargames-factory-ancient-german-cavalry.html

And a piccie of one that I've assembled and converted:


Overall, I think that for the price these are brilliant.

Cheers,

Nice review, I'm not completely sold on plastics yet, so the more I read, the better I can form an opinion.
I have some Napoleonics, and haven't really tried painted them yet but see they are a lot less detailed than the metals I'm used to.

Thanks for posting!!

I glad to hear that they've gone for ponies, but any chance of some more piccies, side views etc?

A sound review.

I've just bought some and share your views - perfect for the price. If you want super detail you need metal, not these chaps.
