It's a big step up from the restic minis, though does weren't all too bad once you (and Mantic) got used to them. Much like the restic, slicing rather than scraping off moldlines seems to be the way to go here.<br /><br />It is rather interesting though how the terrain and miniatures sprues seem to use different plastics. The terrain stuff is a lot sturdier and tougher to cut up, though I doubt that mix would be ideal for the smaller, sharper detail of the miniatures.<br /><br />Most of my Enforcers stuff will indeed be plastic now as a result of a double sets of regular sprues and having picked up two sprues of Peacekeeper armour. Couldn't resist at the cheap buying price during the Kickstarter. <br /><br />Still some restic stuff in there:<br />- Commander.<br />- Sniper.<br />- Engineer & turrets.<br />- Two medics.<br />- Seven converted restic bodies with plastic arms & heads.<br />- Enforcer-specific mercs.<br /><br />Should be interesting to see how well they all hold up once finished, just give me 2-3 months ;-) Luckily actually getting 70 points to play them in Deadzone won't take nearly as long.

Cleaning them would mean destroying details. They reminded me a bit of Sedition Wars, where cleaning and resculpting would take more work than painting. <br />Anyway, I like to see how yours turn out. Am I correct to assume yours are all hard plastic on sprues from Warpath?Wouterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17271989973988511989noreply@blogger.com
