They are all metal, and the photos on the store are of actual metal 
castings sprayed with a colour basecoat (usually grey, sand or GW's 
Ogre Flesh, which I got several large cans of when it was out as a 
limited-edition trial and which makes a great olive-drab base colour 
that seems to photograph quite well). We basecoat spray up the 
assembled models for the catalogue photos because I think it shows 
the shapes and details much better than an unpainted casting, but is 
clearer than a fully painted mini.
