I've noticed that wargaming figures tend to be almost caricatures in look and pose - perfect for gaming where they're moved around a battlefield I suppose but maybe not so good for inclusion in dioramas where a more accurate feel is sought.  That said, I do give the wargamers much credit and respect for their painting and diorama construction skills.

You are definitely correct Dave, the wargames are more comic book, with a fag in their mouth and so on.
Even so the level of detail is pretty good.

Yes, I'm impressed with that.  Definitely something to consider for the stash.
