I got these some time back after seeing a coupon for them on Facebook. With the promotion, it cost me $14.99. I couldn't resist and wished I had bought 2 sets at the time. I already had use for the ogres on my table. I painted the shirtless men with the axes to look like they had Celtic or Norse tribal tattoos to make them a bit more interesting. All in all, I think this is worth it at full price and gives some nice offerings for gaming. It definitely provides great options for different poses in conflicts against orcs, kobolds, or goblins at the very least.
Great review! I wish some of these companies would make some cheap Sci-Fi guys. I've been converting some of my old Heroclix, but it would be nice to have a quick batch of 40 like this, even with the low poly count design.
Those look like a great set to have, at least for incidental NPS. Thanks for cluing us in, to yet another neat mini find. (Any chance of a link to source?) Both of John's paint jobs look great. I really want that Ogre type. His paint job really made it look super
You can find all these minis on thingiverse if you have a 3d printer, don't know if the company took the files or made them available, but I already print a couple of them
Can u put them next to official minis so we can judge them properly So if they are humanoid use a humanoid official mini if it's a large a large if it has an equivalent then use that It would make ur content more interesting
I bought this very same pack of miniatures, while the details are absolutely Meh and the mold lines are painfully annoying, I am happy with them and managed to convert a good portion of them, that giant axe carrying guy, I converted up with several warhammer bits I have one that I based off of He-man, some of the others i made into barbarian-esque characters one I am currently working on I'm modeling after the folk hero John Henry with the gnome wizard you can do some easy hand swaps with the other spell caster for some variety, the gargoyle/ demons are simply just that but with a good painting it detracts from the basic-ness, the hags I finally found a use for I made them into shroud wrapped statues so they can double as petrified things, statues, or even living statues :)
Nice fun video - thanks! Like you, I am always on the lookout for 'cheap' minis - however - when you purchase a set like this, open them up, and whittle the contents down to truly 'usable' minis, quite often the cost per 'usable' mini is effectively quite a bit more than you'd expect. I guess everyone has their own baseline for quality of minis they would use - and for the price and the mix in this set, sadly this falls short of my personal requirements. However - I really appreciate you making the video, as it has saved me investing - and being disappointed. :-)
I really appreciate this comment... I agree, minis are a personal preference as table standards. I think I can use all of these except for the shirtless dude.

Neat! I like the devil sculpt.
For the first time painting minis those turned out great!
You can never have too many goblins and kobolds.

Thanks for working your way through all those options :) And that was a pretty darn good job for the first take on mini painting
Great job, man. Those are great for beginners & you get some decent sized ones for the price too
I just bought it using your link and I subscribed. Hope it helps!
Wish they had sci fi minis like these
The ogres kind look like Lego big figs. A very similar angled musculature.

Really cool! Aside from the low poly ogre, they look quite nice for the price. :)
That ogre is a low polygon model. That's why it all angular.
How about buy some Технолог miniatures? Something like "Битвы Fantasy" or "Castlecraft". They're really cheap.

Thank you for reminding me about the link. I added it to the description
@@thecraftingbrothers9448 Thanks!
That looks like a fun find.

Is ti me or do these look like MZ4250 sculpts?
those where not bad for the price.
btw the paint job was good.

So if they are humanoid use a humanoid official mini if it's a large a large if it has an equivalent then use that
It would make ur content more interesting
That is a great suggestion, thank you for watching.

with the gnome wizard you can do some easy hand swaps with the other spell caster for some variety, the gargoyle/ demons are simply just that but with a good painting it detracts from the basic-ness, the hags I finally found a use for I made them into shroud wrapped statues so they can double as petrified things, statues, or even living statues :)
I like the goblins

Those sculpts look like they were stolen from Miguel Zavala's thingiverse page, unless he gave them permission to use and sell the sculpts.
Wow, I just looked on Thingiverse and you might be correct. He should go after these guys. Thanks for watching
I've seen these models on Thingiverse, either they're working with the 3D artist, or they stole it.
Yes, it looks that way. Other people have noticed as well. I'm trying to reach out to the creator on Thingiverse to let him know. Thanks for watching.

Imagine comparing a gray object behind another gray object. Lazy, and anyone is unable to see the detail
Buy any ks cmon game, throw the game, keep the minis.
