Some of those minis are pretty good! Then some look a little smooshed or whipped up quick. But man they would do nicley nontheless! Great Find!

Not so much a find as a rediscovery, I'd bought some a few years back and have recently found the website. Most of the figures are better than those paint jobs make them look and even better they are fairly cheap.

You might want to try those on Wargames Foundry website as well, they do the official 2000AD sets as well, although I'm primarily thinking of the Celts sets..

The rackham minis are excellent but quite expensive (specially with postage)

 

[Standing-Stone]

Look what I ordered on Ebay.....

 

[superc0ntra]

What range/maker does that one come from?

New set with Slaine and Warped Slaine

I just got this yesterday.

It looks just like does in the photo.

Now I'm thinking about painting and dreading the amount of detail and accuracy I'll need for getting the tartan colours to look right and figuring out which of those tartan colours to use.

Hence the reasons for all my ranting and raving on the Tartan thread.

Did anyone ever consider to use plastic soldiers?
Details are now very good and many historical areas are covered

These are always the great standby when in need to minis. And yeah they have gotten better at making the plastic soldiers look even better than ever. However the better the sculpt usually a little higher goes the price.

This is an amazing site!!

know it sounds childish but the early learning centers do brilliant models of all sorts of creatures and beasts 8)

At any rate this is far less expensive than metal minis or even the plastic minis proposed by the RPG industry.

The only problems I see are:
- the scale (0.25 mm instead of the usual 0.28
- the lack of fantastic elements

Yes it may look childish but this is what is used for model building.

I do agree. I would much rather use plastic figures such as these than spend out the butt for what is out there gaming wise and these paint up rather nicely as well.

I had bought some bags of army men for a Weird Wars game I was running. Painted them up and man they looked awesome. Or as awesome as plastic army men that cost me a dollar (for 100) could. They did the ticket alright.

had a DM years ago we were after a statue of a golden hydra and via a good layer of gold paint we could all handle the prop 8)

I just got this one in the mail today.

Warped Slaine. ( Mine isn't painted, yet.) I beleive it's based on the Mike MacMahon version of Slaine.

Considering he's not wearing his tarten or any other clothing, it should be alot easier to paint.

I love those minis! And that is great! The minis at the Wargame Foundry are awesome and I would buy a lot of them up. But I would get killed on the shipping.

 

[toothill man]

it is a awesome view of a classic full warp 8) thank you

I didn't realise how much little detail the sculpter had included until I actaulley had good look at the piece for myself.

With a exposed spinal columne, and the left calf muscle that looks like it's split in two, not to mention his um.. manhood.
