Hello fellow PF members.

Thank you all in advance.

Xenofon , I have never bought one, but I have seen them displayed on vendors' tables, in my opinion, not very good .


Cheers

Hi Xenofon,
I agree with Roc, Valiant are figures scuplted many many years ago, their level is not good, I bought more than 20 years ago a napoleonic adc and a mounted mamelouk, because they were the only made at that time, but nowadays the market offers better solutions.

Thanks a lot for your responses guys. I saw on ebay a running Highlander at Culloden and with a figure of Art girona though a nice little vignette. I will think about it, because I really like the idea I got... but the quality is a subject that really concerns me.

Well, if you want to feel like you're painting a miniature in the 1970s early 80s go for it. Actually these figure fall far and away from the quality kits out there today. They're not bad for someone starting out if the price of the kit is right.~Gary

If you can't get the figure anywhere else it will do as a starting point I have a few and basic is the best description
