I own the damaged village set. I bought it for Mordheim along with the farmhouse/hamlet(?) set from Warlord. What you should know about their kits (assuming these are the same idea). 1. They are a little repetitive. Photos show different angles so it's harder to spot details that repeat. The damage village for example consists of multiples of only 2 bottom floor corners and 2 upper floors and a few of the exact same roof section and 2 floors. 2. The kits are thick and chunky and big. In all honesty they are as far bigger than 28-32mm gaming as the Warlord kits are small for it. Plus side, big hads should have no problems. One major down side is weight. It's resin, so they're heavy enough that if they fall over it'll likely be enough to chip or break something. Storage is another consideration due to size. They're not exactly portable. 3. Casting - The casting is of decent quality but it's worth noting that these are all likely from one piece molds like the damaged village set. This means you will need to finish the bottom if you want to mount it to a base. It also means some undercuts might not come out so great or like me you might have to dig rubber out of some cavities from where the mold got stuck on demoulding.
I think these look nice though. When I have the funds I will likely buy some as I suspect it would go well with their other set if I am careful.
