Great to see a forum topic getting this much activity, though I think its going around in circles somewhat in the specifics of comparing what you can get for your money.

Though I’ve previously said these comparisons are a bit futile and still retain that view as a fantasy miniature based on a IP owned by one company doesn’t really compare well to an alternative fantasy miniature from another company, I would like to point out there’s far more things to compare.

Take trying a scale other than 28mm(ish), look at a smaller scale such as battlefronts 15mm flames of war, their starter sets go for about £40 RPP, they give to a bunch of miniatures and being historical can be used for more rulesets than you can shake a stick at, and a whole host of alternative companies also offering the same 15mm miniatures.

Look at Warlords “epic” not quite 15mm, you can get literally 1000’s of “figures” (if your counting like that) for about £100 in their starter sets.

How about 6mm? You could easily have two full armies of more miniatures than you would ever need for £150.

Anyway point being i think its a bit to easy to get bogged down in comparison’s, theres really no one size fits all to compare, these so much variety.
