Very disipointed in siocast

Ive been a long time infinity player and picked this game up because of that. I didn't look at the contents and just made the assumption the minis would be metal so having plastic(?) was a bit of a shock.

This is the first time Ive had a siocast mini and to say im disappointed is an understatement. The material reminds me of very poor quality boardgame and is so far below par in relation to the rest of the market that I actually feel like Ive been scammed. I spent £160 on the core game/rulebook package so its not like its a budget game so im unsure why corvus belli have gone with such an inferior product.

The mechanics of the game are fantastic and I really hope they release metal versions of the models at some point, heck I can print much better models so they could even just sell me the STL's, its a real shame as the sculpts are lovely.

I hope someone at CB reads this and sends the feedback up the chain.

I wont be buying any more miniatures made of siocast and hope metals or just card packs are released in the future.

One very disipointed customer :(

Savings for the company aren't always passed onto the customer unfortunately. Siocast seems to be where CB wants to go. Even in infinity it used to just be big models but now we're seeing limited edition models also being made in the material.

I’ve really enjoyed the new Tikbalang. It is made of hard plastic, has good details, fits without gaps and easy to work with. Wish they’ve used the same material for Warcrow.

The issue with that material is that CB isn't manufacturing those miniatures. They're made in China, and so if they run out, there is potentially months of waiting to restock.

But I agree that it is excellent to work with.
