	Their main appeal to /tg/ is their Death Fields line, which is pretty clearly designed to provide cheap proxies for [[Imperial Guard\|Guard]] armies, but they have steadily expanded into historical and fantasy offers as well. In December 2022 they have also opened a MyMiniFactory store, where they sell files for smaller projects they couldn't immediately put out as standalone kits, such as individual characters, conversions kits for bringing some of their kits into a different historical period, vehicles and larger critters, and terrain. You can suscribe to get all the kits of the month, or buy the files individually, and they are also planning on selling physical versions through their store in the future.

	While more affordable than good old GW, the actual models are fairly high quality but also fairly monopose. The Grognards kit, for example, has only three bodies and three rifle arm poses, so you're going to get very familiar with the same nine dudes in your guard army. Still, GW's latest kits themselves ~~are~~ exactly brimming with pose options, so it may not be as big a downside as it could have been.

	Just a little update on this as I believe the post was made in 2020 and it's now 2023. GW endlessly increase the price of everything and at this stage the command squads now cost £27.50, the infantry boxes cost £30 and the heavy weapon teams cost £30, the five man squad has also been removed because screw anyone wanting a few basic bodies. So now you really need 2 command boxes (£55) 2 heavy weapon boxes (£60) and 4 infantry boxes (£120) so the new cost for the same force above is £235, third parties only offer a 15% discount at best too, so that's £200 total if your lucky. Wargames Atlantic have not increased the price at all in the same time, so now it's £85 (as we are factoring bases) verse £200, that's a £115 pound saving, also GW are going to increase the prices again in about a month so lucky us as the savings will be even more (or lucky us we get to give GW shareholders more profits).

	Anyway, it's worth noting the Wargames Atlantic didn't use the pandemic and fuel crisis as an excuse to raise prices. The respect they are showing their customer's should be applauded. Fingers crossed they don't change.		Anyway, it's worth noting the Wargames Atlantic didn't use the pandemic and fuel crisis as an excuse to raise prices.

	Also GW killed special weapon squads, so we have an even bigger reason to cry, all our guard forces just became that little bit less unique (also no veterans.... Boo), though they can be used as command squads instead. The above exercise is to show you how many men your money can get you, not to put a rounded force on the table.

	30 guardsmen for £25. They appear to be in some kind of prison jumpsuit and the rifles they carry look most similar to a [[lasgun]] WA have made yet, and come with options for shaved heads, soft caps, helmets, and some kind of HAZMAT-esque gasmasks. Worth considering if you want to make a [[penal legion]], [[Planetary Defense Force]], [[Lost and the Damned\|Traitor Army]] or if you just want some conscripts that stand out from the rest of your troops. The only special weapon they get is one plasma gun per sprue, which is a bit of an odd choice considering what they are supposed to represent, but hey. The second box is entirely composed by female figures, so they naturally have different poses, heads and weapons, but the backpacks are identical. The girls only come in a box of 24 for the same price however, which is a little disappointing but still better than GW's prices.		30 guardsmen for £25.

The girls only come in a box of 24 for the same price however, which is a little disappointing but still better than GW's prices. It's worth noting that the girls box includes a couple of dagger holding hands, 2 pistol hands and a chain hook hand so at a massive push you could just about squeeze out a 10 man combat heretic squad from the box.

	*Bulldogs		*Bulldogs
			The set for the [[Praetorian_Guard]] fans, 24 space British troops with a selection of quasi-historical heads and weaponry, from WW1-style Broodies, to Zulu Wars-era Piths, as well as a hand holding a teacup. Special weapons include a Lewis-looking LMGs, plasma guns, SMGs/assault rifles, a grenade launcher and an odd-looking flamer. For anyone who ever wanted those classic metal models here is a chance to put together a force for a very decent price.

	Made in collaboration with [[Reptilian Overlords]]. Not yet released, but it's a box of 20 guys with a very strong Catachan vibe. It looks like they'll have options for bolt guns, flamers, plasma guns, sniper rifles, grenade launchers, melta guns and chainswords. It is slightly concerning that this box apparently only builds 20 models when Cannon Fodder gives you 30, but it might have been due to the collab.

			*Panzer Lehr Division
			30 late war German infantry, so your getting a more generic uniform than the 1939 field tunic, so depending on how you paint it and what head you put on it, it could be anything. Has some nice options for tank crews as well. Great if you want to build a bolt action late war German army but they could also have some limited use as a very varied imperial guard or pdf force.

			*Italian Infantry
			32 boys in Italian army dress, though many of the model have puttees so your mileage may vary if your trying to port them over to 40k. Comes with standard helmet, pith helmet, Alpine hat, Bustina, and the feathers to create Bersaglieri, so for a bolt action player it's perfect. Also includes two heavy machine guns which makes a nice couple of weapon teams.
