What are they made out of? |

Beautiful sculpts and incredible paintjobs! Wow! |

I am guessing these are resin – cannot see what they are made of on the Warlord site. At $67 USD for 12 models though? I would rather buy metals. 12 Perry metals are about $42 USD. If they are metals – they are damned expensive ones. |

Resin should be cheaper than metal not more expensive. But Warlord has become prohibitively expensive in my estimation. |

Per Warlord in the More Information link in the advertisement, these 12 Spanish Dragoons are METAL, costing $US 5.58 each unless your order is below the free shipping threshold, requiring a shipping fee of US$20 be added, boosting the cost to US$7.25 per casting, making Perry the obvious choice. Warlord does have a loyalty program that could reduce the cost per figure, but only if you take advantage. US$5.58 is not an unreasonable cost for what appears to be very nicely sculpted and animated miniatures in my opinion, although more expensive than Perry metal Spanish Dragoons at US$3.40 at current conversion rates. Unless you order enough from Perry to get Free Shipping, cost per casting is US$4.25, or US$4.75 with the minimum shipping fee added. Even at their highest, Perry are less expensive. |

I see it now. I was expecting the casting material to be mentioned under the actual description of the product. |
