The figure ranges seem "strangely" familiar. But what scale are they? 28mm? I must say these do look good.

I agree with you Mojarn, nice looking minis. I haven't heard of them. From the pics I would guess they are 28mm.

These are very beautiful! Do you think they have deliberately made mostly the same units that are used in Warhammer Fantasy Battle?

Wow. Those look gorgeous. It sure looks like someone's trying to cash in on GW's games popularity.
Am I translating from the spanish correctly? 6 models per blister? For 9.75 euro? Dang it, I can't afford any more minis right now!

They are wonderful miniatures. I painted some of their dwarves for a customer a while back. unfortunately they only wanted them painted to a very basic standard - a shame as I'd have loved to have gone to town on them. 
Thanks for reminding me of the company though - some of their mounted pieces are extremely tempting painting projects

How do they compare size wise to GW Dwarves TS?

Hi!
I think they are similar size Tom, although Tuff will most certainly give a better comparison having seen them up close.

They look like sweet minis but I think they're skating awfully close to getting slapped with a Cease & Desist order from GW's law department for IP violation.

The only thing he?s doing wrong is calling stuff ?caos? though isn?t it? I don?t think GW own the trademarks for any of the rest of it.
He needs to think up something a bit more imaginative than ?caos? then!

Spanish site, I don't remember there being a 'ch' in the spanish language.
Tuff, if those paint up as nice as the (resin masters?) look, I want some! (before he gets slapped with the C&D order from GW's legal-weasels)

I wasn?t mocking the spelling. What I meant was that they are clearly Chaos troops. However, Chaos is GW?s only trademark of that lot he?s selling (I think). So if he called them something other than Caos then I?m not sure he?d be doing anything wrong.
It?s not like GW invented most of the Fantasy Battle stuff.

Oh. Gotta look at the web instead of, not in the middle of, editing instructions. I'm starting to read WAY too literally.
Yeah, the c/chaos thing is a biggie, but you're probably right, the rest of it he can probably get away with.

I cant say that I compared them to any GW ones at the time so i cant say for certain, but they "felt" the smae size. I'm afraid I cant even offer any pics - it was a local customer and as with a lot of such commissions, I didnt bother taking time to photograph them as the customer would see them in person!_________________ Cheers, Paul "TuffSkull" T. http://hobbybrush.com - My New Website, with thousands of painted Mini Pics :) http://hobbybrush.blogspot.com - My Hobby Blog TuffSkull's notepad- My Old Blog on Wargames Wiki.
