Yep Rackham is responsible for the Confrontation range.

I've been collecting Warhammer 40k minis for few years now and I must say they look great! I also painted majority of them (really time consuming but satisfying if got the time and basic skills/patience).

I've no intention to move into the wargaming itself though. I just collect them because they look cool and different and don't take up so much space (like eg. 1/6 soldiers). Rackham IMHO are way too expensive (sorry if I say that) 'cos even warhammer are very pricey (~RM10 or more per mini) which is the main reason I stopped accumulating the collection (it's enough for now...spent over 1k on those little fellas!).

Alternatively I collect also certain 1/72 minis, much much cheaper but also very small (too thin for my taste) but they're great on epic scale, like armour and company or battalion level!

28/25mm are more for skirmishes (platoon or at most company level!).

Besides that, I prefer plastic/resin over metal (too heavy, more pricey and not as clean/easy to paint as plastic/resin).

But I must say Rackham makes the most beautiful and extremely stylish fantasy/medieval minis out there(French flair?). I just drool over the pix of Lions of Alahan and Griffin warriors(my fave)!

Their website is also an eye treat! (www.rackham.fr)
