The size of some the encounters plastic troops are making 28mm Napoleonic battles a financial posibility
Let’s see more in the future please

I like them, and I always wondered how they were split parts wise before , simply because I often wondered about weapon swaps.

Looking at the sprues, I reckon you could change the barrels of those rifles for lasgun stylee stuff and they would make a fantastic core unit for an imperial guard army.

I have some of the old GW praetorians in a box somewhere and never did much with them simply because they dont fit in with the plastics.

A box like this would.

60 zombie heads was my first thought. A cheap Vampire army

Darrell, stop trying to make me buy these kind of miniatures! I’m trying to be young with sci-fi minis! Now I’m wanting these so badly for so many reasons x.x

I bought some of these miniatures a few years back, very easy to glue together and well detailed, which makes painting a tad easier. The only thing I didn’t like was that being hard plastic, the bayonets on a few minis snapped. Other than that, great quality and excellent value.

I just wish I had the time to paint all these different miniatures and play all the various awesome systems.

Thanks for finally reviewing these – they have been out for a couple of years now and I have always considered getting some. Great review, and can you review some more of victrix’s or perry miniature’s sets?, as they are great value for money and I’m sure all the sci-fi lovers out there will be able to convert them into sometthing useful for whatever they play.
