The plastic is hard. And the datail is very fine. So fine that I managed to cut myself on one of the axes...


I would qualify this a little. The plastic is not hard plastic as you would find in GW or Perry plastics. It's not as soft as Reaper Bones. Neither is it that hard resin plastic mix that mantic and avatars of war use. It's probably a medium plastic. There are very few mold lines, not as easy to scrape away as those on GW/perry, but easier than Reaper/AOW.

The detail is pretty good, a little soft in some areas, but should paint up well. A test figure needed before we can say for sure.

I got everything except the art book. It's a lot of stuff, way more than I will ever be able to paint.

I'm all in, including the art book, for gaming and painting inspiration. The box has arrived ( at a friend's house 1,5 hours drive ), I'll be pickin' it up in a few weeks and have a gaming weekend the same time.  :).

Miniatures are great abd the game is really good. I played it last night and I've really enojed it. Cards are surprisingly varied allowing different strategies to win.

Glad I got it!

I'll be honest, there is so much in the box, and I know damn well I'll never paint it all, I am actually considering flogging it off to get my money back. I love the look of it all, but there's just so much in the parcel I'm kind of overwhelmed. Some people are already asking silly money on eBay (big surprise).

I'm considering selling mine off as well to make back the money I spent on it plus shipping. I'll wait to see what it looks like first though. Still waiting.

Why? Buyer's remorse?
Don't have the box in my hands yet, but everything I see makes me more than happy I went all-in with it. Great models, excellent quality, quick delivery, what more does one want? Just think what you'll have to spend if you want to buy comparable models from say Reaper, Grenadier 2.0 in all its incarnations or Ral Partha Europe.
And yes, it's tough on the wallet these months, now with Conan just finished, Zombicide PM is looming and also The Others ends tomorrow, but I wouldn't want it any other way  ;).

I really just don't need this many more minis. I'm running out of space to store games too, I already have a closet full and a cupboard out in the garage full of games, most unplayed. Also October seems to be when I get loads of bills, Rates ($200) insurance ($700). Maybe I'm just feeling the pinch a bit as well. It was a bit of an impulse buy this game as well.
