Are the Old Glory and Skytrex Command Desision minis the same range .(US and UK distributors?)

Thanks for the pics of the Waffen SS col, Krazy Kenny.(Great paint job too!)

They look loads better painted.

Thanks....

I believe they are the same.Old glory sells in bulk mostly for example 50 models for 15 dollars.

I'm impressed by the PSC site, and there's not a lot that impresses me these days. They're open about their release schedule, have competitive prices, and cheap terrain as well to support the 15mm hobby. First class.

It's mostly infantry with no transport and Panzer IV Hs, but it's bloody cheap! Gods knows how good it will be in battle, but I could never go back to GW now.


Isn't it great? I don't play FOW, but I do play Force on Force and after buying my Iraqi and USMC models from Matt at Elhiem I can NEVER go back to playing GW level of prices unless its FW or a resin collectable model.

I have picked up 100 plastic viet-cong solders for 24 bucks and it feels great. With the 50 we already had that is more then enough to do a 'over run the Firebase' kindof mission for Ambush Valley and anything inbetween. Now I have to get around to making the terrain and gameing bords...sighs a models work is never done eh?

Welcome to historicals may your armys be as big as your imagination. =o]

I can get a force built around Tigers and Infantry for around £30. Plus my opponent is happy as a British Paratroop force is pretty cheap to buy as well. Everyone's a winner.

How well do infantry from these various companies mix together? Does anyone know of any side-by-sides?

Not bad. At 15mm they'll look well within usual human height variation (especially when they're painted similarly).

Thanks!
