Repeatedly, I hear the same comments about Irregular, often either lofty
praise or scathing insult, but, taken as a whole, captured below:

<SNIP> good summary of IM miniatures

Certainly explains my experience with various Irregular pieces; so
befitting of their name.

Now, if you look at some modern's on Andy Cowell's site:
http://www.cowell.org/~andy/min/15mm/irr.html
you'll see that they CAN be painted up quite nicely.

If I might add to this, there is something strangely attractive about IM
figures. If you can be bothered to clean them up and persevere with
painting, they seem to make an amazing transformation. My reactions to
receiving figures from them is always the same	" oh dear " they look
bereft
of detail and poorly moulded. HOWEVER once cleaned up and base coat
sprayed
they appear to make a transformation and suddenly you are aware of
detail
that wasn't apparent before and they have some nice natural poses. My
experience has been mainly with historical figs . Take a look at my
Seleucid
army. It's about 60 percent IM figures and I think they look quite good.

note this is a freebie angelfire site. beware of pop ups,
For cost and final appearance and incidentally minor figure variations
in
most ranges I would recommend them.

Hope this is of help
