A great set of paper miniatures in manga/anime style and three color schemes. The colors and contrast make them print great even at reduced scales.
Besides the obvious uses for RPGs, some of the poses would be great to build multi-figure stands of archers, crossbowmen, swordsmen etc. for large-scale wargames. I intend to use them as warbands for some skirmish games.
Some might not like the anime style but then, that is a matter of opinion about the art style... The other point some people might dislike is that the figures have mirrored backs but given that:
a) ALL of the poses are facing a definite direction, not looking forward, so you can still define the figure's facing if you have to;
b) poses are very dynamic;
c) and the price for the set is a real bargain,
I really cannot convince myself to rate it at lower than full five stars and I do hope that Battle! Studios continues to make more and more sets with these features.
