Modiphius Entertainment - Fallout: Factions Raiders review The last time we reviewed Modiphius Entertainment figures it was their plastic Brotherhood of Steel, in heavy armour. We were impressed with the three high-detail, high-quality, hard plastic figures in the set, and how they perfectly replicated the look of the Fallout video game world, but noted their rather steep price tag could put off all but the most devoted fans. This time, three new sets have arrived: they’re still high-detail, high-quality, hard plastic productions, but the tone is very different. So is the number in each box: ten figures for the same price as the Brotherhood of Steel set of three. Do these sets offer the value we were craving? Let’s find out! Extreme detail As you take in the wealth of options on the frames (two different ones in each box, along with ten bases and a build guide), initial impressions are very good. Variety is the spice of life, and death too, because there’s an arsenal of weapons to choose from. Alongside tens of guns (along with improvised and specialist close combat weapons) are a ton of head possibilities, loads of extra kit, and some great-looking basing elements. If you’ve not seen Fallout figures first-hand, you may be a little shocked by the scale. These are true scale 32mm figures, rather than the heroic scale 28mm that is often seen in historical ranges, so, while the bodies and legs stand a little taller, the hands, heads, and weapons are all noticeably smaller. There’s a lot of detail on those tiny heads, which is a bit intimidating but will also be exciting to keen painters. Despite the scale variance, we have no doubt these frames will be a kitbasher’s dream! While building the intricate figures (we put together some of The Operators, but The Disciples and The Pack are much the same), you’ll be struck by the quality. Each model fits together exceptionally well (the assembly guide is excellent), and, once constructed, your Crew’s men and women look more like finely sculpted metal or resin models than something built from a multi-part kit. Modiphius has jumped to the top tier of plastic producers with these models, matching the quality and detail you get from Games Workshop or Victrix. A Raider for all tastes As befits the chaotic, post-apocalyptic world of Fallout, the models are incredibly varied in style and attitude. The Operators are the most elite in the sets, somewhat like an organised crime syndicate. They have the pick of the weapons, more regimented armour, and some even wear business suits into battle. The Pack, true to their name, are rather animalistic in their look and approach to battle. If you
