I don't really know anything about WGF or if their miniatures are worth it, but I saw these and they seem interesting enough to throw into an IG army and was thinking about picking them up the next time I order something from Wayland. They're 28mm, which is more or less the right scale, and you get an alright amount of them per box. Here's a picture of the sprue;


Has anyone here used these for anything? They need a little work to fit in, but could be alright.

It has been up before.. Can't find the thread right now..:/ But i think the general thought about them was that they where a bit "chunky"

But hey they are greatcoat guardsmen..!

I thought that I had heard that these were no longer available--in addition to the comments about them being chunky and lacking in detail?

But yeah, there's a thread about them somewhere here on the IGMB...

They're still up it seems. What about the DUST soldiers then? They're the same scale right?

The ones (DUST) I got were a bit taller than GW minis, but some others from that line might be different. I used them for the shotguns.

If I got theres, I'd probably just use the bodies, for the reasons mentioned above.

I used the bodies of these shock troopers with cadian arms and westwind games heads to make my trench/seige troops and they look really good.
