I have to say though, although the models themselves were quite good, the stories and "history" written alongside them was fantastic.
It was worth getting into for that alone.
Unfortunately, almost the entire lot was left to my imagination as I only ever had one friend who could play me and even then that ended the moment he got an N64 with Goldeneye! :-D
It's a lot better than tabletop wargaming.
Fun times, excellent models, and a brilliantly realised universe in both cases (with the exception of the Orks, they were just too silly)
Still overpriced, over complicated and they NEVER finish what they start. They have an army to make... they promise to make them but they never do and then they re-make the older models.
Stuff like Gorkamorka that was cheap, easy and fun. I loved it... they brought out extra stuff which was cool... new rules in the Supplement and then................. they didn't finish the models and it just dissapeared.

My feelings exactly. It's a load of overpriced junk. It's just little bits of paintable plastic that cost a few pence to make sold at several pounds a set. Not worth it at all, because it's so DULL, BORING, POINTLESS, TEDIOUS and CHILDISH.
Verdict - Crap with a capital "C"
