I decided to spend some of my Christmas money expanding my Tallarn project, which includes a lot of bits from Victoria miniatures, but managed to forget some stuff when I hit the “buy” button. Contacted their admin, who got straight back in touch and managed to sort things out for me and then received a message from Vic herself, thanking me for my custom.

So I thought I’d come on here and highlight my experience; fantastic products, nice people and excellent service all round.

“10/10, would recommend” is the phrase I believe.

Always good to hear about stuff like this.
I have bought from them a couple of times, with no issues. Delivery was quicker than I thought (is mostly out of their hands, though), so that was handy too.

That's good to hear, look forward to seeing some pics when they arrive (and when painted)!

I'll second the recommendation. VM has top-notch service and excellent casts- extremely minor mold lines and flash that cleans off easily.

Here's a comparison of GW Cadian legs and VM Arcadian legs:



The VM sculpts are Forge World quality, and fit my FW Renegade Militia perfectly. I couldn't be happier.

I'll recommend Victoria miniatures too. Have a platoon of 50 Arcadians (some with slouch hats too...) and some other smaller units. Poor Cadians have sat in a box half painted since I recieved that first order.

A little while ago I went to buy some water bottles from Victoria miniatures, but they weren't on the website due to a bug(since they'd been updating it). I left a note explaining this at the end of an order and they sent 3x sprues with my order.

I think it may have been around my 20th order and they threw in some freebies and a note saying cheers which is awesome.

Awesome miniatures, Awesome team.

Oh yeah and the free miniatures. I like to scrounge my bits box to make them more personal every time I get one.

I'm closing in on two full Guard armies done with Victoria parts, with plans for at least one more. Honestly one of the best in the business. Any time there's something off with the order, it's replaced free with no questions asked and then some.

Used Victoria kilted lads for my IG/AM army and out of the 3 or 4 orders I placed always got a few extra bits thrown in with the order!

I cannot recommend them enough!

I'd like to add my voice in support of Victoria mini's

Ordered some Border Worlds rangers for a Tanith conversion project and was very happy with the bits I got, all good quality and detail. They also fitted in well when mixed with other IG bits.

Personally, I've ordered their resin and metal bits, and they are of good quality.

Some of the arms are a bit fiddly.

I've ordered a lot of her stuff in the past, may have to do so again in the near future.

Arms are a bit fiddly yeah, but overall her kits are very conversion and kitbash friendly, plus can be slotted into most existing ranges out there without too much hassle.


Most of the kit is stock Victoria, aside from the shotgun, backpack and bandolier, those are from Warlord, the knife and shoulder lamp (an Elysian grenade IIRC) are from FW.

Love the metal gas masks and goggles, am working on 2x Arcadian weapons specialist squads (1x flamer 1x demo charges) which will all have masks and goggles(just waiting on some for the riflemen in the sections).

Also I find they're the perfect thing to spruce up the odd figure. Commisar look average? Put goggles on their cap, or a mask around their neck.

They're basically perfect for all occasions.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Not only that but the masks can be modified quite easily, you can glue a filter to them, the pipes can be trimmed and glue to the front of the mask, steel legion style.

I'm personally going for pipe over the left shoulder into top of Catachan binoculas(which curiously enough are excellently sized oxygen tanks)

Only beef I see with the arms is that the range is a bit limited especially the female sized.

I can see it being an issue when you want to make a female operating a heavy weapon. But then again, I do like modeling so it is not an issue to me.
