Disagreement on most fronts...
I gave up on the minis after a starter pack & two boosters. While the sculpting is decent, especially on the figures, sometimes it's way off - the 6 pounder A-T gun is awful, with truncated, simplified trails. Worse yet, the tanks and figures are not to the same scale - the figures are decently 15mm, the tanks closer to 12mm. And as for the paint job, I couldn't disagree more - most of the minis are painted with just a few base colours - usually just a single colour for tanks - then a very heavy and unsubtle black wash for weathering. It looks quite effective from a distance, or while they're still in their plastic 'bubbles', but at playing range or closer they look poor.
On the other hand, the actual game looks extremely simple, but quite playable. It needs some 'houserulling' for realism (for instance, there seems to be no rule preventing A-T guns swivelling all around when firing - in fact the example of reaction fire does exactly this!), but looks OK. I'm considering using it with 10mm Pendraken metal minis.
