Review: Rioter
At Offensive Miniatures their aim is simply to offer the finest quality figures, sculpted by some of the best sculptors around, expertly cast, and covering any period of history or the future.
The review sample sent was a rioter from Offensive’s upcoming line. The figure is cast in metal. This miniature has a height of 28mm and came shipped in a baggie inside of a clamshell card. At the time of this writing, these figures were not released, so prices and details to exactly what would be released had not been announced.
The Good
The first general impressions upon opening the packs are of a very clean casting. Flash is very minimal, limited to a tiny metal sliver here or there and the moldline is all but invisible. An arm got a little bent during the journey, but was easily pushed back in place without snapping. It appears that they have chosen a good metal alloy and details are crisp. As a small, but pleasant detail, I found the bases stand perfectly flat and the mini did not topple over due to imbalance problems.
As with the S.W.A.T. minis, as this is a counterpart to, I can see with relative ease just how this rioter can fit in with an urban skirmish game involving zombies, and am really looking forward to trying him out.
The Bad
