I have these from the old game. Almost a complete set. Do these have any value? |

I think mostly for those using them instead of the more expensive GW figures. I think if you check out Ebay, they aren't fetching great prices now? |

I think the most I ever saw them sell for was 40-50 cents each. |

The figures are of a very poor quality compared to even GW's old plastics. I think they are fine for kids just learning how to paint and play games, but with much nicer plastic figures available these days I just don't see them selling for much, if at all. I think I put mine in a "Free to a Good home" box on my table at a past Flea Market. |

The Empire Crossbowmen were quite useful during a period when GW wasn't bothering but are not very detailed. The Ogre and Cannon still hold up if painted well, though, as do the Knights and Empire Halbardiers. |

I have picked up four boxes of this game three 18 years ago and one earlier this year. Best way to build a core for Empire, Orks & Goblins & Warriors of Chaos armies. The game came with 102 figures. When given a choice of paying $3 USD-$4 per figure which is what GW are now and paying $0.40 USD-$0.50 I know which figures I would buy. Once you do put a good primer on them (I had to spray them twice) they do take and hold the paint quite well. I spent my year in Kuwait painting them. |

I bought a set yesterday for £4.00 GBP -that's a couple of HOTT armies right there. Mass base up ,mass spray undercoat and quick paint job and I'm good to go. |

For those who want less detailed figures to paint up, YES! They seem to sell well on e-Bay, but not for a lot of money. Still, their prices have increased over the past 10 years. If you do not want them, throw them up on e-Bay, and see what happens. Dutch auctions are best, allowing buyers to select how many figures, of each type, they want. I trolled e-Bay, several years ago, to build up my fantasy armies, for less than $1 USD/figure, and I would still put those figures on my table, without hesitation. They paint up decent, with fewer details, meaning less painting time required, to get them on the table. I really like them. It would seem that many folks still like them for their own gaming tables, too. Best of luck, cheers! |

"Less detail" The archers and crossbowmen have the "mold line on face" problem, but I'll field the Battlemasters Halbardiers and Knights any day of the week. |

These make up a regiment of halberdiers, bows and a couple of cannon in my Empire army. I like them just fine. |
