Wargames Factory

Hi Chaps,

I received a pleasant surprise the other day when my order for the Wargames Factory Survivors  The Men arrived. At first I was not at all impressed with Wargames Factory products having bought some Romans and Ancient British chariots from them. The quality now is so much better that you would not believe that they are from the same company!

The poses look good and the detail is much crisper and raised up from the casting. The figures were actually fun to paint as well....now I just hope that the company remakes the male zombies which are appalling in comparison to their latest sets.



The pictures have been quickly snapped between showers so I do apologise for the quality. In an almost related issue I bought from a charity shop an old toy "Adventure 2000" which is an old Matchbox model that will be fun to play around with and turn into something sci fi. I will just have to stay away from toy collectors fares for fear of being caught by a lynch mob.


Have a good week and keep blogging.

    I've heard great things about these and you've done a great on them - I must add them to my wish list. I remember that "Adventure 2000", didn't it have a larger section that that bit docked into?

    Haha Michael, you remember Adventure 200 so you must be of a distinguished age like myself! You are right there is another part of this set...I remember playing with them as a child. I wish I could remember what I did with my 1999 space ship!

    Thanks Chaps, wargames Factory have really upped their game for these. I will be buying the women zombies and survivors in due course.
    I intend to "remake" the vehicle and will take photos. It should look completely different later this week.
    Thanks for looking.

    Great minis; the "Adventure 2000" vehicles were reproduced for Judge Dredd's mission across the Cursed Earth to Mega-City2, back in 1978... ;)
