SWAT all Painted
Well I have finished my SWAT team. There are 8 miniatures in all, 4 from the USX Range by RAFM (the taller miniatures) and the other 4 from West Wind's Road Kill range. In my mind the USX are nicer sculpts but are at least 32mm scale and although it isn't a massive issue you can tell without having o look too hard. My main issue with the West Wind miniatures is the faces which are not very well sculpted and it looks like the sculptor has given up on a couple of miniatures and just stuck Aviator Sunglasses on to cover the issue. That said, the one miniature with the goggles (not night vision) above his head has a very well sculpted face and is possibly my favorite miniature of all of them, one of the others looks simply comical with an over sized helemt that he can't possibly see under. Whilst I like slightly comic miniatures (esp GW and Privateer Press Goblins) I don't think it is really the right feel for SWAT, where it might fit better in a militia or young terrorist/
