1830 Duelists

Take note. This is how to introduce something. Define ideal set and i'll hand you a page of Duelists. Why? Read on!

1)Accuracy : 5 - Basically when you define a period for gentlemen to fight in you have to research the fashions of the day. This set does exactly that. It has found the period clothing and made enopugh variation on it to be interesting. There are some British and French soldiers but for the most part they seem to be a side note to the main set.

2)Design : 5 - Ungern has a different look at paper miniatures anatomy. The standard of miniatures tends to be one of bulk, people build bulky soldiers and have since the start of what we consider modern design in paper miniatures. The soldiers in this case follow a new design, straight laced gentlemen and matching the time period. A most amazing decision decision on this group was to make them small, but it plays into the feel of the period.

3)Standard : 5 - As a standalone set it is unique and thus would be useless had there only been one or two duelists. However, Ungern has produced a complete set if you print this paper out you are ready to use them, for what? Thats up too you!

4)Uniqueness : 5 - Pretty much a completely unique set of figures. A period and idea that have not been made before.

5)Usability : 5 - Just click print. You are ready with 16 unique figures to use in what ever kind of dueling situation you can find!

Total : 5 out of 5. An amazing set by an amazing designer.
