I find their non-robot figures a little uninteresting actually in that although they have good detailing and sculpting they lack a certain uniqueness to make them really stand out. Their robots are on a completely different level tho ^^ i really like them so much but unfortunately the price is also on another level.

I got my box set today. $105.99 CDN. ALL the mini's come pre-assembled! This is a super bonus for me as a gamer, though the plastic seems to be slightly bendy (not super soft, but not hard like say GW plastics) which might make painting a little rough. Overall, I give the game a real value, even for that price tag. I am very excited about this boxed set and look forward to getting some of the kits designed to be more for the painter collectors to add to my collection.

At least an A for gamers, put around a B- for painters I'd say. very high production value on the game components!

I was concerned about how well the plastic would hold paint, as it's a little bendy. Turns out it holds the paint excellent. The mini's come painted in a flat colour (grey for germans, green for yankee dogs) and whatever spray they use binds to the plastic really well. I re-primered my test guy just in case, but no real need. I use grey primer so the Germans are ready to go but I will prime the Americans as I don't like painting over that green they used. I painted this guy as he came right out of the box, so you can see the bend in the barrel and the mold lines on the mini. For gaming, I think it's more than acceptable. The paint job is no great shkes but it was done quick (maybe a couple hours) and I think will work for the table. Even though the mini's are wearing winter style uniforms I decided to paint both sides in a more sort of traditional WWII outfit so I didn't have to tie myself to painting all my collection in a winter camo scheme for as long as I collect the game. It'll look a little odd as some mini's are CLEARLY wearing winter coats. Anyway, here's what I got with a straight out of the box mini and a couple hours...

Things I found painting this kind of plastic...



-Be careful with the hairdryer! As I was painting quickly I used the hairdryer quite a bit. At one point the mini got pretty soft. Watch out!

-The base. I was stuck thinking what I could do for the bases. They come with a sort of metal industrial texture to them and a sort of stylized bolted down rivet look around the edges. In the end I decide to just go for a plain black base. I can always come back to this but it'll work just fine for gaming I think.

-The torso's all come joined to the legs so you can twist the upper body at the waist. I just superglued them in place. I don't think this has ay relevance on game play at all.



So that's it. A little mini report on what I found so far.
