Ordering - To be fair, GZG has web site ordering in a similar way to Alternative Armies. But, the web site os more difficult to use, as it has long pages with very few pictures. In the end, I called them up and placed the order over the phone. They were not there the first day that I did this, but were fine on day two. Friendly and informative. What else do you want?
Delivery - This surprised me a lot. Although I ordered these guys a day after the Alternative Armies order, they arrived at the same time - getting to me within 24 hours! Now, that is service. The best of the bunch for this round of orders.
Packs - The packs are simply zip-lock bags with the product code written directly onto the bag. Nothing flashy, and you will need to reference what the code actually means.
Minis - GZG 6mm infantry are the ones that I know and love, and I would happily use them. In fact, I have so many now that I didnt relly need to order any - I just couldnt find my store. The minis are well detailed, and while not quite as good as AA or GW, still more than good enough for 6mm. Also, you get the cool GZG bases, that I have really liked for a long time - basically a textured metal irregular shape that can hold two or four minis. GZG do a good selection of infantry types (about six to eight, if I remember correctly), giving a good mix. The minis are on round stands (like GW) and these are connected by thin mold lines that are very easy to seperate. There is minimum flash on these guys, and they are well cast.
Verdict - I like these. I get packs fairly regularly, and I never have enough. I keep an eye out for rivals for them, and no other maker beats them when considering all the factors (cost, detail, variety of troop type, scale and pose). My only issue with GZG is that their heavy weapons are scarce and a bit 'lumpy'. I have used these in the past, and I will be using them in the future. This minis are one of thw two potential sets to use for my Traitor PDF Epic troops.
