I have just finished up my first figures from Warlord Games, a unit of French chasseurs a cheval and a detachment of the 95th Rifles. I have painted scores of Vicrtix and Perry plastics, so I was curious to see how the Warlord Games figures would measure up.
Positively, they are easier to assemble than the Perry and Victrix. They are also very compatible size-wise and will fit right in with the rest of my collection. There was enough detail that painting them was pleasurable. I felt the poses of the Rifles were varied and nicely animated. The chasseurs, however, were not quite so much so.
I don't have many complaints apart from the lack of pose variation for the chasseurs. I think they are a little more expensive than Perry and Victrix on a per figure basis, but the access to a wider variety of units makes that worthwhile.
The service from Warlord Games was terrific. They were shipped from England at no cost and arrived quite quickly. I am sure that I'll be ordering more figures from them in the near future, but not until I finish up the Vistula Legion pack and the 12 British casualty figures I still have to do.
Here are a few shots of the lads.
