They might be huge metal chunks but they are fragile so price vs quality is for me all wrong, and i do like their minis

Fragile? Generally PP designs go for the bulky metal, even weapon staffs are kind of thick in comparison to other companies so I dont see these as fragile, by the contrary... I mean thick huge chunks of metal is as resistant as it gets.

@ Nav: OK you're right. Banes have always been big and these seem to be as large as medium based figs. But seeing that price tag in a store would definitely have me think twice about buying them.

I wonder why they didn't go for plastics on these...

[NAVARRO]

Yeah I think these are perfect candidates to plastics... I would nevertheless prefer the metals... I love the weight of the minis man Mind im not saying these are cheap... these are expensive but you also get a lot of big metals in it... I only get pissed when a sprue of plastic costs more than X...

Warjacks are really fragile

Ok heres my personal opinion on this

PP overall range goes from big beasts to small infantry, most are metal ( but that is slowly changing )... they are most of the times a pain in the ass to assemble, metal kits designs are thick and sturdy... some models and some warkacks have week elbow joints but man you cannot claim this to be the majority of the PP range... PP model quality goes from utter crap to cool cartoony style so in short...

- 50% are cool models
- 50% are ugly butt models
- 10% have week elbows
- 80% are big bulky metals
- 20% resin/plastic stuff
- 120% requires pins and are a nightmare to assemble
- 100% of net percentages are totally off

AMEN! My Skorne starterbox threw me of doing anything PP again probably forever!

[ToMaZ]

Well, the skorne battlebox is probably the worst of them all

I was not even talking about this, but only the metal quality, but this one is really funny, i give a example, assembling the Khador Drago Heavy Warjack, he has some chains that are cutted right in the middle and are supposed to be glued i just ask how? this is for gamming not to sit tight and i had to rebuild a part of a arm it bended then just broke

but i still like them, and yes they are a big pain to assemble

[NAVARRO]

Its part of the fun to assemble these models... in a masochist way Trollbloods are not that bad to be honest.

I thought Kingdom Death was aimed at masochists, sado-masochists, and many other kinds of perverts
