grantinvanman@Wolfie65 I’m glad you can fill your nostalgia vibe with … 50(?) year old Minifigs; nostalgia can be a deeply satisfying drug. Modern Perry metals are beautiful and what I’d be buying. No two ways about it.
I last built a full metal army circa 2010 – GW no less; a Nurgle Death Guard. Conversions galore, I saved all the filing dust from mold lines to use as “rust” or “corrosion” on the models to great effect.
Without a power Dremel, that army wouldn’t have come together.
Building a large monopose historicals army, metals look awesome. I did a plastic Naps army once – Perry minis. Even the relatively simple build of 3-4 parts made me think twice. Victrix plastics? They’ll drive you nuts.
But for GW gaming, plastic and kit bashing is a winning combo. No two ways about it. Look at my four kits used to make a trukk-trakk… no way metals could do this level of conversion.
