Well, a hair under 5 years ago I invested about $140 bucks into this nightmare kickstarter. Since then, they released Wave 1, promised Wave 2, went many many months without updates at all, lied incessantly, etc. In the meantime, after looking over the models and rules, I decided I was likely never going to play this game, but I held out a little hope that when Wave 2 released there'd be some life in it.
For years, this box o'crap has sat untouched in my closet, I having only ever assembled a few Regults and a single VF in Air mode. But with this toilet swirl finally coming to an end, and having procured a small expansion box of Destroids as my compensation for Wave 2, I decided to go ahead and assemble a single Rifleman and Warhammer. Since both of those would be used during the next campaign game, my motivation was increased and I thought I might as well salvage some small value out of this dumpster fire by at least building/painting some OpFor minis.
Wow! I really am impressed and greatly relieved to find that not every bit of my $140 was completely wasted. These two miniatures are beautiful. Yes, they're kind of a pain to assemble, and require some work to hide seams, if you choose to do so (I spent minimal time on this and decided to live with what I got). But the poses you can achieve are dynamic, the detail is great (for soft plastic), and while I know this borders on heresy... I think they might be better looking than the Ral Partha unseens.
At the very least, I'll end up with some excellent minis for OpFor forces:
4 Warhammers, 4 Riflemen, 2 Longbows, 2 Archers. Plus as many LAMs as a person would ever need.
These are not complete, need basing, decals, and weathering, but I'm happy with them.
