Hiya all, I was just wondering if anyone here has ordered from Prince August Games before? I'm thinking about buying some Warzone stuff but I want to get some opinions and experiences first before I order.

I placed an order to Prince August roughly 5-6 months ago for some models from their Futureshock range (for my Post apocalyptic collection.)

My overall experience was fairly pleasant, although their was a slight delay with shipping (2-3 days) as the woman who ran that department was ill.
Shipping time was fairly average, taking about 2 weeks to arrive in Australia from Ireland.

2-3 of the models did have some slight discoloration, but i attributed that to the Futureshock casts being at least 15 years old.

2 weeks for shipping from Ireland is about right, though (taking into account the 2-3 days delay).

It usually takes between a week and 10 days for me to get stuff from the UK/Ireland.

I have bought stuff from them, but they were some older napoleonic 'cast your own' soldiers moulds (which they used to sell along with alloy strips.)

My only experience with them was with old rubber casting mold sets which were absolutely awesome fun as a kid. I don't know for sure but I believe they sold their molds to a place here in the U.S. called 'The Duncan Company', but I would like to find out if any of those rubber molds and lead (yes lead) are still available from anywhere. So much melting lead on the stove as a child, no wonder I'm a bit brain dead.

I ordered several times from them, no problems at all. And Warzone has some nice miniatures (and some ugly ones ).

Nothing unusual there.

GW suffers from the same affliction.

I used Warzone figs for carapaced IG command squad guys. The 'Blood Berets' make awesome Stormtroopers too. Hulky armor and a beret and a non-descript heavy rifle looking gun. Their sergeant even had a chainsword-looking thing. Not shaped like an official chainsword, but still the intent was clear.

I have the pleasant virtue of living about 4-5 hours away and I can say they are really a nice group of people

I gotta say that Prince August is pretty awesome. Ordered on Monday Night came to my front door this morning over a span of five days.

They carry Warzone. Thats a good reason to check them out!

80 guys for around $30 aint bad to beef out your IG numbers

I don't see where/how you can get this many models for such a price, that's better than WGF.

EDIT Just noticed them, wow that's dirt cheap.

It's because, as noted, that bag are remaindered stock from the OOP Warzone 2.0 starter box set. This is why you get so many of them, and limited poses.

If you look at the metals for WZ, the prices go up substantially.

Not had the pleasure of dealing with Prince August, but I can say that the plastics are a great deal. Even if you're not thrilled by the figs, it's worth the price of admission just for the 80 backpacks and 40 Imperial (British WW1 style) Gasmasked heads (the German heads are ok, but not as nice)
