Quite a varied mix. Some are interesting like the SAS recce patrol has potential. But some others like the militia or most of the CIA fieldagents are un-inspiring. I'll see where this goes.

I will join in but I do find it rather expensive in comparison with the Empress Kickstarter.  
I want a mob of about 40 African militia for Force on Force.

David is right. The figures work out at £2.00 each, plus postage, even at the £160 and above levels.
There is also no step with the prices - they are the same price per figure if you pledge £34 or £160.

Empress "Devil Dogs" worked out at less than £1.50 each including postage to Switzerland.
I finished with £95 for 67 figures, which is £1.42 each landed in Switzerland.
These from Spectre work out at £2.21 each landed in Switzerland which is quite a lot.

Yes, I thought it was a touch expensive too, especially compared to Empress which I thought was good value. I thought I'd read somewhere that these were discounted for the kickstarter so the shop prices look like being potentially quite high. I'm guessing this might be because it's an entirely new venture and they are trying to recoup start-up costs? Still pretty high, though the price per figure does drop the more you pledge.

I do like quite a few of the militia figures (mainly the paramilitaries) so I have chipped in.

Chipped in at the "Big Man" level, to get some militias mostly for my planned modern project. Hopefully there's some price check though so I can pledge a bit more for some more minis :)

I'm tempted - really been looking forward to seeing this range, but I must admitt that now the kick starter is 'here', I'm a little underwhelmed.

As has already been said - the prices aren't as competative as I would have hoped and certainly don't sway me the right way. The figures are nice - but no nicer than the MoFo range (and they only come in at £1.38 each + postage) or TAG's extenisive african milita range (at £1.63 each + postage; albeit with sculpting which may not be compatible with Empress in some peoples eyes)

Not keen on all of them, but the SAS recce and observers are very cool. Good luck with this Spectre! :D

I suppose that set of rules is also included, but I'm afraid PDFs are not my thing.

Despite all the negative vibes that I am giving out I still might be tempted as the figures do look good

Yep, in retrospect, I'll probably drop my pledge.  A little too expensive.

But good luck with your project!
