[QUOTE="lehcym, post: 6464588, member: 6776034"] Our miniatures will be €6 each after the kickstarter campaign, €5 for normal pledge and €4.5 for early bird (for an heroic 28mm human). Theirs are $15 or $25, depending on the quality you request. The price difference comes from the fact that they use a third party (shapeways) to print the miniatures while we will print our miniature ourselves. From what I know of shapeways and if I'm not mistaking about the material used I don't think the “$15 quality” is good enough for miniatures, especially if you want to paint them. That said, I didn't see any heroforge miniature myself, maybe I'm wrong. Their website is nicer since you can see your model in real time, while I think ours is more practical. I wonder if they didn't have to sacrifice the high polygon number required for 3D printing though (that's one of the reasons we can't give you real time, the polygon number of our models is far too high for real time). They provide sliders, to have fatter/thinner models for example, we don't. We allow you to put symbols on equipment, they don't. They seem to have problem with 2 handed weapons like spears or rifles. + various little things I'm under the impression that our models have more details, maybe because we have a higher polygon number. Overall, the best way for you to know is to test both systems and to see the one you prefer. My only fear is that between their low polygon number and the subpar quality of the “$15” people start to think 3D printing isn't good enough for miniatures. But I never saw heroforge miniatures myself, maybe there are perfectly satisfactory. I tried to be as much unbiased as I could. My best advice would be to pledge for a small amount so you can have an handful or our miniatures and you will be able to compare with theirs. In the end only your opinion matters, not mine or anyone else's. [/QUOTE]
