It's always a pleasure opening a box of minis and the spotlight goes to the High Elf Dragon Princes of Caledor!
Contents:
5 Dragon Princes
5 Cavalry Bases
1 Instruction Sheet
Got this one from Miniature Market at a 20% discount.
Great site to go to for all your miniature cravings. They also carry a whole range of board games, accessories, paints, resin bases and whatnot.
The standard instruction sheet and cavalry bases for the minis.
The box comes with 3 sprues.
Very fine details on all the parts. I love the helms with all the pointy ends. Looks like you could use the parts to stab someone if the need arises.
Consistent high quality on all 3 sprues.
The horses look great.
Lances and shields here are very nicely casted. Most importantly the lances are straight!
I prefer plastic kits like these as compared to the metal ones of old.
The main problem with metal kits is that stuff like lances usually get bent whereas this isn't an issue with these plastic one.
Hope this aids in your decision if you are pondering whether to get this kit!

Stuff from the WHFB starter set back from '95
Mass painting eyes is a lot of work!
I wonder if the mould for archers is terrible or if it's just me, cos the eyes on these guys are kinda lopsided....
Or perhaps they are squinting with one eye cos they are trying to aim...
