Hi all, I've just added a quick review of the Swedish skirmish set for 'By Fire & Sword' to my blog. For those of you who don't want to read it I like the idea and the price but every single model had a thick mould line around it. I won't be buying any more. Ferb

Wow… 100% unacceptable.

Ferb, Thanks for the info. This was on my radar, but that is an unacceptable group of castings. John

I have written basically the same on Ferb's blog as will write here. I have bought 2 boxes of Jannisseries and a box of winged lancers and they were fine. No more flash than I would have expected. I would call Northstar and see if you could replace them, too much flash is definitely not a good thing. For me the figures a lovely and I really like them. I will be buying more Bunny

I have had no problems with my chaps, in total had about 20 boxes, Tally Ho!

I have 2 boxes, Polish Pancerni and Polish Cossacks. Both were well cast with no flash.

Obviously a screw up and unacceptable. Quality Control not up to snuff. Contact the manufacturer for replacement. Pat

You have to say that's excellent customer service. I've responded to them and I'll do another review when they arrive.

Good stuff Michal. Have to say my Cossack and Polish skirmish set I bought at Salute have no more flash than you would expect.
Kadrinazi	06 May 2013 2:31 p.m. PST
Obviously if any of You guys will have any problem with quality of miniatures just drop me an email on byfireandsword@wargamer.pl or directly to Konrad Sosiński on kontakt@wargamer.pl and we will do what we can to fix it. Of course previous quality control team was summarily executed, their heads are now on top of the pikes near the entrance to Wargamer's HQ in Warsaw ;) Michał 'Kadrinazi' Paradowski By Fire and Sword team
