Oh, now those are awesome. Anyone going to Adepticon? I want the Color Sgt.

For that matter, I want good ol' Torgo from last year, if anyone has one to sell or trade (I have the Historicon LE cavalryman from last year…)

…but will they fight?

Very nice looking figures. I can see myself buying a box or two of these.

Perhaps an obvious question, how do they compare in size with GW's 28mm Imperial Guard? Although, I suppose that they might be expected to have a smaller frame than males.

The comparison pic is on the website.

Very nice. I like how they are visibly female when compared to the males, wearing the same style uniforms without resorting to (ahem) breastplates or cleavage windows.

Good find, Tango!

Happy you enjoyed them boys!. (smile).

Oops, I appreciate the help there Vosper. Thanks.

I think the comparison photograph shows that the match is, indeed, very close and the figures are able to be mixed.

I have always liked the GW Imperial Guard figures but I have to say that the Victoria Miniatures Arcadian range is truly outstanding. The idea of having male and female figures is marvellous and works here so very well.

A must have range.

Thanks Armand.

They look like nice minis although one thing is bothering me. The sargent with the banner staff (hey! Lob a grenade or get me some machine gun fire this way.) The chain sword just looks juvenile who's watched too many slasher flicks.

It's screaming: Warhammer 40,000 Wannabe to me and that's a no-sale flag to me. I could buy Warhammer 40-Kooks if I wanted to.

Ah, but these are female troopers that will look at home with your Imperial Guardsmen.

I'd probably buy a couple packs if I still played 40k.

With some new weapon arms, they'll be able to do double duty as light infantry from Starship Troopers.

Can it be called a color sgt. if it isn't carrying any colors?

IronWindStudioDev02 Apr 2014 8:46 a.m. PST

Nice looking figures, good to see some female troops.

These are lovely and really put GW to shame. As an Arborist and passionate lifelong martial artist chainswords make me laugh. I love them but I wouldn't want to try using them.
