Message: <blockquote data-quote="DMScott" data-source="post: 1205235" data-attributes="member: 11734">I picked up a starter and two booster sets to get an idea of the range. I'm not a collector, just looking for some cheap and easy figures to use in my game. Paint-wise, it's generally better than what I produce (I am the World's Worst Painter (tm)), but still below average. Dark paint jobs seem to predominate - of my 32 minis, only about 4 stand out at a distance.Looking over the checklist, it looks like there aren't any Huge critters or mounted figures in the line - too bad, but I guess that's the limits of packaging. I like the maps (cards and battlemap), haven't tried the mini game itself but it looked decent enough as skirmish games go. And of course, it's really nice to buy a pack of minis and be able to use them out of the box.The thing I wish they'd done differently is to theme the boosters a bit - maybe keep the rares truly random, but then keep the rest within a range of types. So I could go get an undead booster with some mix of zombies, skeletons, wights, etc. and a random rare. Or an "good guy army" booster with a mix of elf/dwarf/human/etc. grunts. It'd be nice to be able to say "hmm, I'm running Forge of Fury next week so I'll need a lot of orc grunts - I'll go pick up a couple of humanoid booster packs and I should get enough to fill out the numbers". But overall, I don't regret the purchase at all, and I'll definitely pick up some more boosters as the line develops.</blockquote>
