Arcane Legions 2 - Store Review

OK, I got my demo kit and am getting the mini’s ready for running some games.

I can say first off no way these are 25 MM, more like 20MM. Scale is way off.

I deal alot with mini lines and I am still on the fence about this line. People who are into either GW or Privateer Press won’t even give these a second chance and that is coming from those I have already showed these to.

The game play MAY and that’s a big maybe make a difference but I am reserving judgment yet.

Going for ultra cheap may have bite you in the ass as your marketing a mass combat line to go up against GW and the like without the level of quality those lines of miniatures have to offer. These remind me of those cheap bags of army men we all bought as kids. Painting these won’t be easy either as this type of plastic doesn’t take well to paint. As I said, I am reserving judgment for now but kinda disappointed by what I see so far.

Fix the scale and go for better quality even with the price increase might be the better way to go.
