So, I have never bought any IWM miniatures. All the minis I have are the plastic ones of AS, and the ones from the KS. Now, I have been thinking about buying some Celestials for a future (far future) campaign set in the Jihad (mix of TW/ATOW), to get as opfor against the players. I have both ComStar lance packs from the KS, plus all the other IS packs, so well supplied for a force of WoB, but would be good to get my hands on some Celestials to put Manei Domini as a nasty surprise for them.
The question is, how good are the minis? They look good enough, and quite similar to the art, but are they sized more or less correct? The new KS minis proportions are well made, but many IWM minis have odd proportions as far as I have seen in images (plus the AS minis that are more or less the same). Your classic light mech bigger than a heavy situation.
P.D.: Also, not related to Celestials, but I know IWM come without any hex base, but do the superheavies like the Ares do come with one? I have seen several images with those three leged hex bases that I have not seen on sale at IWM.
