Yep, this has been posted here previously. Unfortunately they are made in China.

Aren't GW's figures also made in China?

Good question. Most recent info I have is they were being made in Nottingham England at least thru 2014. Beyond that I'm not aware currently.

Got them and like them. A step forward from Wargames Factory.

Strangely Victrix has also Persian plastics in the queue, and with the Wargames Atlantic release of Afghan warriors I cannot fail to note that the Perrys have Afghan warriors in their queue.

For the moment I do get myself one box of each new set, just to see what is on the market and what kitbashing possibilities arise. When paired with some of their Irish heads the Persian bodies make good viking civilians :-)

On the downnote, the archer firing in the air will need a good deal of knifework to be usefull for units, there could be another (or two) left arms and the large shields cannot be attached to look like they are used mobile. The head options are, however, a read boon. The set is good to build individuals, but a bit hard pressed to build closely formed units as with the Victrix sets. Anyway, as long as there are no plastic sets of Persian cavalry building a Persian army is not on the "to do" list.

Puster, have you tried to kitbash any of the Wargames Factory parts with the Wargames Atlantic?
