The Latest Confrontation Releases from Legacy Miniatures
January 2, 2012 by beerogre
If you're a collector of those fine Confrontation miniatures from Legacy Miniatures, then check out the latest releases... the Griffon Rider and the Cadwallon Militia.
These miniatures were not released by Rackham and they're available exclusively from the Cool Mini or Not webstore, but you better save up your pennies (or be prepared to blow your Xmas cash) as these models don't come cheap.
That said, the level of quality in the casting is superb and the detail on the models is amazing. As a collector who has many (my wife would say too many) Rackham models. The difference between these resin versions and their metal equivalent is noticeable.
However, if you plan to use these for gaming pieces, then I'd steer you towards eBay for some of the metal models as these won't stand up to any sort of prolonged use.

hmmm, always wondered what the griffin titan looked like for CAoR
I checked link, it wasnt working btw. Anyway the images seem to be of the plastic pre paint but is in fact for a resin kit. I wish legacy had a euro based seller- at the mo i cant see me buying anything dur to cost+shipping+import fees
The griffon sort of sucks compared to other makers. You can tell it was designed for the doomed pre-painted plastic days. As for the militiamen, they look great. The faces they have are full of life.
someone has starched that poor griffon’s wings.
I was afraid this was gonna happen and it has. I knew that were gonna do something stupid when it came to the sculpting and the griffon with rider are it. I have seen pratcily all the griffon faction models and let me tell you they all look better then the rider. It also just convinces me that this is from the griffon faction. Now as for the griffon they really expect me to believe that the original sculpters from rackham made this model. I’ve seen the concepts for the rackham griffon and let me tell you this is barely… Read more »
That Griffin is the Confrontation, AoR plastic thing!! I THINK the pic is the C-AoR paint job image too, so not even a pic of the resin one (May be wrong on that but it’s pretty familiar)
This is the Griffon that was sculpted at some point and never released:

At least the resin looks better, CMON neeeds to post the actual mini not the PPP version. In particulat at the price they want they are smoking crack if they think the pre paint image will sell it for them
I was wondering why it looked bad. Now I know.
Id rather this one

$69.99 for 5 minis? Taking the p$ss or what? I was interested in the milita till I saw the price!
I groan at the prices. In uk with shipping and almost certain import fees they go from expensive to outrageous…IMO
So many things wrong with the Griffon, sad they tried to pass it as a purchasable mini. Scale and detail issues all over the place. And $100?
