Why
I bought, read and played Mutant Chronicles 3rd edition RPG and I wanted to know more about the universe of Mutant Chronicles. And I did. I then found out about a skirmish wargame set in this environment, Warzone Resurrection produced by Prodos Games and I have then jumped into it, curious about the miniatures and the wargame.
How
The miniatures come in resin, not assembled. Super glue does stick well the miniatures, but you have to be careful when you remove unwanted parts. The cleaning is done easily with liquid soap, but because of resin and casting procedures, give it a little more time, or you will regret it later. It is not a big deal, but it will save your time and paints, otherwise you will need to do additional coating steps.
Results
Three starter sets and their corresponding miniatures were collected, painted, and photographed. The image gallery that resulted after this phases is presented here and what follows next is a review on them.
Review
In the Warzone Resurrection there are many factions (Bauhaus, Capitol, Mishima, Cybertronic, Imperial, The Brotherhood and The Dark Legion). Only miniatures from three factions were collected and only from their starter sets, because I thought there will be enough time to collect these miniatures and also because they were expensive. But when the license to the Prodos Games was not renewed, and the game entered just a few days of sale and then out of store you can tell who was disappointed... Seriously the owner of the license and Prodos Games could have find a generous window of sale of miniatures (in terms of days, prices and visibility of announcement) - a little respect for the gamers, and this happens a lot when a license for a setting end its agreement, this is just an example.
Now back to the review, the miniatures look good, although the details could have been better. Sometimes the resin material used in the casting of the miniatures was poor or the casting process was, because there were some holes in some of the miniatures (for Mishima especially). Green stuff will repair to a certain point this shortcomings of the miniatures.
I like the designs of the miniatures (Diana Clone is my favorite) and if the range of miniatures could have been more developed I am sure that more interesting releases would have appeared for this wargame. It would have been good for role-playing game also.
