Subject: Urban Mammoth miniatures quality?

Hey,
(Not sure if this belongs here, I can be wrong...)
I was thinking about ordering some miniatures from Urban Mammoth to use within my IG army.
But I have got a few questions:
How good/ durable are the miniatures? Lets say we compare then to the regular guardsmen from GW.
They size suggests that they can be used in other 28mm games, but how do they fit in a certain army? (AT-43 are often taller and less chunky then their 40k counterparts.)
Bye,
Loner

They produce very high quality mins in my opinion, I have a quite a few of them. In terms of size they are slightly smaller in scale than IG but it is only a slight difference. The character figure's scale tends to vary a bit (+or-). They do paint up well and have plenty of detail also. Suggest you place a small order so you can look at them close up, as I said they are good quality minis.

Chunkier than GW (not necessarily a bad thing).
More restricted poses, but mostly evocative poses.
Are you looking at Void 1.0, the reboot or Urban War stuff?
The factions are essentially the same, but change small amounts over the time periods. VASA became more 'russian' themed, for example.
I've got quite a few of their "militia" figures - but I use them in other games.

The Urban war snipers are fantastic, I have 20 of them. Camo cloaks and sniper rifles. Also a female seargent which is cool.
Buy some. You won't be sorry!
