Justwondered if anyone had bought these and what they thought of them, normally I would go to 6 or 10mm for a period like this but everyone else in the group is using 15mm so sadly I dont have much of a choice

Due to being on a bit of a budget I am trying to save some money

Opinions of the figures most welcome

Oh I should say I have seen the photos on the website but there not that great

If you want to save money, try looking at the 15mm SYW range from Warrior Miniatures. Its a fairly basic range, but the figures paint up well, and fit in with my minifigs/Essex/Irregular stuff.

Particulary frugal if you go for their army pack.

Hadnt thought of Warrior , I seen some of thier 15mm in the past and wasnt that impressed but I shall have a look

Thanks

I've used some Irregular 7YW.

I'd certainly endorse the value for money of the Warrior generic 18thC army pack and I found them nice crisp castings.

QRF have some excellent SYW figures and they do a discount if you buy three of the same packs or more. I don't know if that will be sufficent to meet your budget but its worth a look.

…and a bigger discount if you buy 6 or more of the same pack.

Or send me a list and i will see what I can do… :-)

Hi Steve I painted up the 18thc Warrior Army pack as Brits for Culloden they painted up nicely and great value and free flags as well.
