The April issue of War-games Illustrated has an article on unboxing the new Plastic Soldier Company Goths. No price given. Some nice pictures.
"PLASTIC SOLDIER COMPANY: 15MM GOTHIC ARMY
UNBOXING
These new plastic 15mm figures from the Plastic Soldier Company are just one box set
from a whole variety of armies that are being made available for use with the Mortem Et
Gloriam Pacto rules system or any other Ancients rules. There is a complete ‘army in a box’
approach, with this particular one being focussed upon a generic Gothic army."

"The contents of the pack mirror the numbers required for gaming with the Mortem Et Gloriam
Pacto rules. There are 4 mounted generals, 6 armoured cavalry, 22 unarmoured cavalry, 52
warrior infantry and 12 archer infantry. The designations come from the rules themselves,
but perhaps it is worth mentioning that the ‘warrior infantry’ consists of both armoured and
unarmoured figures, some with hand weapon and shield, others with spears. This would
perhaps help those using other rules in terms of creating units of similarly armed warriors.
However, once they are based up, that’s 96 figures in total, more than enough for a small army,
and one that’s not going to weigh much for carrying purposes, easily fitting into a small box.
Our Opinion – These are very nicely done miniatures, in a material that offers a resilience and
overall quality that works well. Plus, although intended for a particular variant of a particular
ruleset, a box or two of these and some ‘frugal’ basing means that you’d have a fairly large
army. In many ways, 15mm is perfect for the ‘large scale, small battlefield’ style of battle that
cannot easily be fought with larger miniatures. The fact that these figures are as detailed as
some of the better 15mm metals on the market make these a wise investment."
