Saw this game "in the touch" on Saturday at Entoyment.
A really big box.
The rules seemed to be a typical mix of special dice, special cards, special templates, top trumps  stats, special counters, etc You can gather that I do not like this sort of thing. But then it is not intended for me, so there we go. :)

The plastic components looked very good indeed.   Obviously designed using 3D software the quality was excellent. The chaps looked to be proper 15mm, rather than the 18/20mm  type. The detail, pose and cut was excellent. As an aside the houses and trees were very good too. There were some very good oxen carts and scenics. The monsters looked good too.

The kick starter was probably very good value. The sale of just the figures and scenery might be even better value?

Overall 80% for the figures,  20% for the game design.

Yes I have this- I bought it just for the figures and terrain. I probably won't ever play the game itself as it looks like a real faff to set up. Likewise I suspect all the monsters won't get used either. Have to confess it surely sets a god precedent for 15mm figures in plastic by some enterprising manufacturer.

Agreed. The quality is excellent.

Sure you can't find a use for a true in scale (for 15mm) dragon? P.S. the little things by it's feet in the picture are 15mm archer bases... Yes it's big

That is the way to do it, as Mr Punch would say.
