I wasnt really sure what to put as the name but anyway the sole purpose of this topic is i dont have the money to keep buying Games - Workshop Figures but that desire to collect and paint minatures is still strong.
And ive always loved WW2 and Romans etc etc.
Anyway the point is what do you guys think of me using these

Plastic toy soldier review is your friend! www.plasticsoldierreview.com

Painting 1/72s is quite fun. And they are very usuable for gaming! Plus the price makes them attractive. Beware, though, that cleaning mold lines can be troublesome on figures in this scale.

I love using 1/72s for historical modelling and recreation- and games. 1/36 is really better for showing off your painting chops, though. Can't really game with them.

Thanks for the website its ace its great to see what im getting in the box and i agree the about the price £5 for between 40 & 50 figures is top.
And ty for the interest
cheers
