i'm sorry, i'm just looking for the best looking by consensus models. i know knothing of historicals...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/267164/1140148.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/267164/1140148.page GMT
The Factory figures are Caesarian (mail armour and oval shields) while the Warlord are western Early Imperial (lorica segmentata and squared off shields.)

Warlord's range is bigger, though only the core Legionary figures are in plastic. The Factory box includes command figures and is probably the easier pick for doing a basic infantry unit.

I don't know about the quality of the sculpts but you could find some reviews on the Web.

Wargames Foundry make both types in metal.

They do some fantastic 54mm figures. Used a couple for inquisitor conversions. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/267164/1140301.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/267164/1140301.page GMT
