Dark Alliance: Half Orcs and War Trolls (20mm)

[@kwest9747]

Whoever designed the sprue for the trolls did a great job at fitting them all on while using minimal space.

Nuce review. The details came out nice. For ligvt colors like this, giving the minis a bit of wash can bring out the details on camera. But worked out fine here. Looking forward to binge your channel, too few talk small scales!

I’ve been looking for a way into fantasy wargaming from sci fi and I think I know what I’m doing now! Great vid btw

[@demo-z2y]

Ah, the trolls look great! I was about to buy them not too long ago, but went for some of the other sets in the line. Might have to reconsider it. Keep it up!

[@tablesaltgames]

Definitely get the trolls, they add such a menacing vibe to the table. And thanks 🙏🏽

[@ytumamatambien2187]

Excellent review, really love the figures closeup, it allows to appreciate the detail👌❤️, thank you

These are from an Eastern European country, copyright means nothing to them, some of these are practically pantographed down versions of GWs Uruk-Hai and Olog-hai figures. The swords give it away. Fun figures, but I can't do these in 1/72, got too much to paint as it is, lol!

[@tablesaltgames]

I’m at the point of no return lol. My 28mm doesn’t hit the table too often these days.

[@JPGotrokkits]

@@tablesaltgames I feel ya dude, I went with 1/72 to play Bolt Action, more options and cheaper!

[@jarosawknas8947]

Do you remember the scene, when Saruman lead the charge of ward riders during the Battle of Helm's Deep? Wasn't it cool?

[@flkpnzr8303]

This is a good alternative. Since GW ups the prices for the old Lotr line. And the new stuff looks ass. Some wor with these and I think one is up for some wargaming.

[@darkaiel]

Do they feel rubbery? Are they trouble to paint? I have some Zvezda models that are hard plastic but they have to be assembled, I really like how Dark Alliance ones are already put together.

[@tablesaltgames]

They are not as rubbery as most board game minis, but they are soft plastic. I like these because they have enough bulk to them that they don't feel like they're going to shatter into pieces if I were to drop one... as for painting, I've had better luck not priming them. The one set I did prime flaked, but it could have been the primer.

[@Sam-EastOH]

This was a nice review, but I think it would be more useful if you could compare the minis to other figures in 1/72 and 28mm scales. There seems to be a significant amount of flash on these figures and mounting on a secondary base seems required.

[@tablesaltgames]

I’ll look at doing that in the future. And yes, these have noticeable more flash then others sets from RedBox

[@crapparc]

They remind me of Reaper's stuff which you don't have to prime. Have you tried slapping on paint without primer?

[@tablesaltgames]

Yes, I actually prefer not to prime them. The first few set I primed lost considerable detail after prime and painting. Take that with a grain of salt

[@goforitpainting]

Cool figures.

[@mhovar101]

How do they stack up against the games workshop ones?

[@bugfighter5949]

They're smaller, works well for things like wargs and trolls but humans wont match for example.

[@mhovar101]

@@bugfighter5949 yeah I bought a few to see. I might multibase them and use them for sword point or something
