I hadn't seen any mention of this company or product. I came across it on TheWarstore and it seems they're exclusive to being sold on there.

$20 for 5 soldiers in multi-part resin isn't bad.

Fixture of Dakka

They look quite reasonable, what scale are they? 25mm, 28mm or something else?

28mm "Heroic" obviously.
Ugly, but meh, I suppose they fit in with the quality of GW products so that's probably the goal.

Looks a lot like the early Mad Robot stuff. In other words, worse than GW sculpts, and dire compared to vic miniatures.
Having said that though, everyone has to start somewhere. If the sculptor works hard at it (like indeed Mad Robot did), they'll be decent in a year or so, and turn out much better stuff. So I hope they stick with it.

What are the prices like compared to Vic's?
I honestly like both sets, but resin makes me hesitant.

Just under half the price.
Resin is okay to work with, but requires far more in the way of preparation and greenstuffing to make work. Speaking from experience, Vic's resin stuff, whilst beautiful, doesn't fit together quite as easily as the photos might sometimes make it appear. It takes a bit of TLC to get it there.

I rather like them. They'll fit in better with the plastic Cadians than Vics figures & they are definitely better than the Chapter house female guard. Might get a few packs.
Save Vics figs for my imaginary Tanith army I keep promising myself.
Wonder if they have a UK seller ??

Not seeing a UK supplier & I'm definitely not pay $30 carriage for 20 resin guardswomen.
Oh well :-(

I accept they fit in with the superior of gw articles so that's apparently the goal.
