Default Forces of Valor vs. King and Country

Anyone have a strong preference for one over the other? I like the Forces of Valor diaromas that are available, but King and Country has some great stuff as well.

Post a link if you can so I can see exactly what your talking about.

Examples to compare.

:D

Here's a link to King & Country's Normandy German line of miniatures. Take a look at the special Stug model coming out in July (bottom of the page) for an idea of the quality.

Here's a good list of the Forces of Valor vehicles that are available. Look at the WW2 Dioramas (part way down for some of the cool dioramas available).

I like the Forces of Valor myself, they appear to have sharper detail then the other.

I really like the Diorama of the King Tiger and Tiger!

Thanks for the Links! :D :twisted: :D

The Forces pieces are the better buy. But no one that I know of makes better soldiers than K & K. I believe that K & K pieces, which are very heavy traditional die cast models, come in a larger scale than Forces and (I know they do in comparison to) WW Brittans.

Here's some links to some good sites that carry K & K, which (legally or illegally) won't allow direct price competition. The Sierra site has free shipping:
