It is a real shame that they chose to stick with the $32 price tag. It is just too expensive for chaff units. I'd need 6 boxes of them, not going to spend nearly 200 bucks on cheap core

Admiral:

Then buy one or two boxes and convert or buy cheaper stand-ins to fill the ranks with. The RA Hobgobbos will spice up the units wonderfully.

Sticklander:

I’m going to buy at least one box for now, just to see what they’re like, and because of the constant quality coming from Russian Alternative!

I am not sure about them. I think I would like to see them close up.

AndyG:

ebay frustrates me so much that you cant log in to the .com site if your account is .co.uk

Am I just being stupid and missing the easy way round this?

Admiral:

If I bought some of those archers I’d switch the arrows to homemade ones made from blunted needles with a coat of super glue and quick feathers. That arrow is rather thick.

See I already have the bits to convert 100 odd hobs from plague monks, was hoping these might be cheap enough to save me the hassle, but not really.

I made a test model ages ago, I believe I got the idea from another board user here.

Roark:

I bought $100 worth of Hodag Hobbos before I realised these guys were going into production.

Not actually regretting it per se, but the two styles couldn’t be more incompatible with each othe, haha…
