This game use "pre painted" minis. Yeah, like heroclix.
I don't like it: There is some mold line, it's more expensive than normal mini, not to mention you've got no choice in the colors.
But there is some cool table there.
>> There is some mold line,
While a few of the minis do show lines, I do not think these are any worse them many of the painted metal I have seen on the table in local games.
>> it's more expensive than normal mini,
This is just not true. Let’s look at some costs:
Games Workshop Marine Dreadnaught: $40
AT-43 Fire Toad with Terrain Container: $24
Cygnar Ironclad: $27.99
Games Workshop Hero Figure (Space Marine Commander): $15
AT-43 Hero (Sgt. Borz): $8
Cygnar Captain Victoria Haley: $7.99
Games Workshop Space Marines (10 in Box): $35 (3.50 each)
AT-43 Steel Troopers (6 per box): $20 ($3.34 each)
Cygnar Trenchers Unit Box (6 per box): $29.99 ($4.99 each)
>>not to mention you've got no choice in the colors.
Again not true. All three of the games I used above come in one color. At-43 just happens to come pre-painted in one color scheme and the others come in metallic silver. Then if you wish, you paint them any way you wish. Many of the AT-43 folks do repaint. I don’t because they are good enough for me.
>>But there is some cool table there.
Now this I agree with 100%. They are very nice and would work for almost any 28mm game.
