| Only problem with this line, is that 90% are pewter, unassembled,
unpainted minis. The prices are good (pewter minis are usually ~$4
each, or more). The diversity of sculpts is very nice, however, the
quality of some of the sculpts is a bit lacking.
If you're into assembling/painting entire village/town scenarios, these really look like a good bargain.
They even make a strong argument to keep non-combatant/villager minis out of DDM

I asked about them about 2 weeks ago and got no response... I was wondering about scale anyone know...? Says
right on their website most minis are 25mm-28mm, and either pewter
(90%) or resin (stuff highlighted in green), unpainted, and
unassembled. There are a handfull of large minis that are 60mm (not
quite in-scale with DDM).
Granted, it's in super-microscopic print

| unpainted booo! [ ]
and here I thought I was on to something great, its still not bad.
Sigh the old bait and switch, I saw the beautifully painted minis and was blinded to the unpainted disclaimed.
And before the lawyers chime in I know its not really bait and switch, as in the illegal one, just using the term to express my dissapointment.
EDIT: I'm not saying they did anything wrong, quite the opposite. my above comment was inspired by my complete lack of painting skills. These minis may inspire me to learn how,blank canvass and all. | | | |

| A friend of mine ordered them. In general they're a tad smaller than a typical Reaper DHL mini but still close enough to scale to work well.
Some of the minis are a little plain in sculpt but then again others have great little details.
For the price there were quite the bargain as long as you don't mind a little painting.  | | | |

Too true. I find it hard to see myself ever painting minis again. | |
