PP's game has always been a story-based game that they envision with a sort of set-piece cast.<br /><br />To this end, they only do specific models and though they do not disallow conversion, they do not seem to have any intention of producing for it as part of their business model.<br /><br />It's not a bad thing, but it does leave you limited if you are looking to use their minis for other purposes. I will say that the plastics will be a lot easier to convert than the metals were.<br /><br />-EliEli Arndthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10445801567500822187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10402375120725539.post-3081716914186249052009-11-15T15:18:32.224-05:002009-11-15T15:18:32.224-05:00Really?

The Troll Blood plastic set I mentioned only has about 5 poses as well. <br /><br />The main difference is that you are now getting a full unit in the main box instead of the bare minimum unit and then buying blisters to pump it up.<br /><br />-EliEli Arndthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10445801567500822187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10402375120725539.post-10636483908006832092009-11-15T14:24:27.078-05:002009-11-15T14:24:27.078-05:00Thanks guys, I dunno, looking at the sculpts here ...Thanks guys, I dunno, looking at the sculpts here and lack of poses I'm thinking these troops are metal...MIKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12349008639954236034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10402375120725539.post-76392355718733909032009-11-15T12:28:01.885-05:002009-11-15T12:28:01.885-05:00If the Troll Blood great swords are any hint, the ...If the Troll Blood great swords are any hint, the plastics are going to stay at about the same price point for the box but you get more in the box. The Sword unit comes in at about $45-50 for ten figs.<br /><br />Still pretty pricey for plastic but considering how few of them you will need per army, PP's note likely producing as many as they might if they were core troops.<br /><br />-EliEli Arndthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10445801567500822187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10402375120725539.post-6553201423728503802009-11-14T13:43:35.964-05:002009-11-14T13:43:35.964-05:00I am so glad I haven't purchased trenchers yet...I am so glad I haven't purchased trenchers yet!
