Ill assume you are talking bout the historicals Pete, the scifi and fantasy stuff is as good as owt else Ive seen (mind you the legio heroica medievils are pretty damn good...)

Doesn't he use freelance sculptors? Chances are each range varies in quality depending on sculptor.

The ranges are a bit up and down, but on the plus side the pics are there so it's pretty easy to see what you are getting. I've been happy with the stuff I've bought from there both Sci Fi and Historical.
A big part of what drew me to buying from Khurasan initially was it being in the US. I could get a few packs to see what they were like without dealing with the shipping costs. Any over seas orders I usually like to have a larger order to offset the shipping. If someone like GZG had a presence in the US, I don't think Khurasan would have been able to gain market share like it did.

Anyone else enjoying the irony that former TMP favorite (and presumably paid advertiser) Khurasan turns out to have been the uber sockpuppet of one of Bills old bete noires? And that a good chunk of his active membership turn out to have also been from the same sock drawer? "Verified email addresses" and all...

Well done you for having an opinion of the little metal men...
How you considered anything beyond that?

A spat amongst suppliers over sockpuppets and hurt feelings won't make me lose sleep. Did the real world arrive to the 15mm industry ?
