Painted Miniatures

[3ntombed]

Hello is there a place to purchase a starter set of villans and good guys?
Thanks

Ordinarily, I'd say no (or that you have to buy unpainted minis or hire a painting service... like mine )

But luckily enough for you, Dave and Mila sell pre-painted versions of their miniatures. You can check out what's available at pulpalley.com

You never mentioned scale so these are all 28mm - you might be able to find some of the old heroscape squads/heros or some heroclix; even though only several fit the traditional pulp era.  If you want to paint, there's the boxed sets for 'in her majesty's name' (but a bit pricey).

The DUST models are technically pre-painted (and I'm using the term generously here) and has a very pulpy Weird World War 2 theme.
However, by painted I mean that they're cast is a very flimsy, rubbery plastic that doesn't handle details well, are glued together so that it's extra hard to reach large parts of the model if you try to paint it, and are sprayed with a thick layer of primer to conceal even more details, but shows off the mold-lines very well. And then they stick decals on top of the primer. But if you just paint the faces pink and give them a wash, you get finely sculpted models (and poorly produced) that look okay if you view them from afar and lower your standards.

Yes, I'm a bit bitter. DUST was such a waste of good sculpts. It's as if they couldn't decide between painted and unpainted models, so they went for the worst of both worlds and cast it in the worst plastic they could find. The vehicles are gorgeous, though.
