| Mixes best with: | Still working on that, although from recollection Foundry is pretty close, as are some of the Old Glory Ranges. |
| Long Review: | The sole 1st Corps Ancient figure I have is a "leftover" in my spares-box. These figures are cheap and cheerful, decently animated and full of variety. They are pretty varied, and a decent number of variations within each pack mean that the units don't get boring. The units of Romans I painted were pretty decent figures, and, although the metal was a lot harder than many of the other suppliers' I've worked with, the end result matches up well with all the rest. |
| Commentary: | At an average of £0.85 each, they are below market average in cost, but about market average in terms of usefulness. |
| Historical Accuracy: |  Not bad, maybe a little mixed interms of strict accuracy, but the overall look is OK. |
| Pose Quality: | A fairly mixed batch of similar poses in a specific pack, all basically the same, with minor variations in head gear or slight variations in arm positions. |
| Sculpting: | Average. There is a mix of neat and soft sculpting- almost as if the masters had been exposed to high heat. |
| Casting: | Not bad. The metal is a lot harder than many others I've worked with, so it takes a fair amount of effort to clean the sometimes abundant mould lines and occasional sprues. |
| Sources: | Single figure left over from previous project. |
| Sculptors: | Unknown. |
