Now please bear in mind that these are in for the no way the best minis in the world, but age they are and the fact they are plastics by a non mini company, I was pleasently surprised how good they are. They are from the old game called Darkworld made by Waddingtons, and each hero has the option to swap the normal weapon for a 'gold' one, literally, the weapons do come out their hands. You can see the different weapons from the all together pic to the other two pics. I'm particulary (sp?) proud of how the Dwarf has turned out, and a bit 'Meh' with the Barbarian and Knight, but for gaming purposes they will do. I'm hoping to get more of the game done, starting with the Heros from the 3rd expansion. Will keep this thread open for them............   Thanks Bruenor  |

Thanks.
The only thing I don't like about some of the Heroes from the game is the extra bit of plastic that goes between the arm and body, on some it's really hard to tell what's arm and whats body, but I guess that's more to do with the molding process, so they couldn't have a gap there.
Some of the evil minis are raelly cool, especially the snakemen, aka Kobrans.
There's also a couple of groovey (does anyone say that anymore?) Halflings, a Mayor in his puffball hat and a really grumpy looking Miller, that I have ready to paint v.soon.
The Dwarf is my Fav, and that who I'll be playing as, next time round.

The quality of these minis are not so good. But it is really cool to see some old minis. Even though these minis are not that well sculpted they are beautiful in their own way and have a special "feel" to them. Hope you understand what I mean lol, I am not good at explaining things  The minis are well painted, and your old school style really suits these old minis. My favourite is the dwarf, his face is just awesome ;D |

Thanks.
As I stated in the opening post Faust they aren't the best minis ever, but I'm a sod for lose causes, and HATE to play games with unpainted minis, I find it very blank and boring, with everything all plastic looking, so I try my best to get them into some kind of decent shape to play with, regardless of the sculpts.
Thanks MP,
The Dwarf is my fave too, I like most Dwarf minis and it tends to show as I take a little more time on them than I do other races.
