Never mind Gordon

I got my dibbsy in there first

[Nosher]

All I need to do is get the pics taken for the release, and it's good to go.  The helmet conversions came through from Techno as well, so we can get those moulded and released pretty quickly afterwards hopefully.

Cool

This could get expensive, now got my eyes on falklands, more Austrian Naps and possibly some landsknechts...

Helmet conversions?  This wouldn't ironically be the long lusted for AWI figures super-sized? 

[Luddite]

28mm from across the Pond eh?  Sounds intriguing...

Nik guessed correctly, and they are now available: http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,5929.0.html

[GordonY]

Sorry, decidedly underwhelmed by these, just not my cup of vodka.

But I believe that they will indeed float Mexican Dave's boat as he's got a pulp superhero game on the blocks just waiting for him to start painting them.

He also has a shedload of other stuff just waiting for him to get his painting mojo on the go.

Franco Prussian war - both sides
Napoleonic 1809 - both sides
Vietnam - both sides (but I believe he has started them)
Ancients - both sides
Fantasy - he only has the Elves to do, been getting around to them for at least 4 years.l 
etc
etc
etc

so I'd expect him to be looking at these around about 2016 (he's a VERY slow painter, he's very good but oh so slow)

Yay - good guess eh?  

I like 'em...I might have to pick up a few to paint - not particularly into SH gaming, but if I painted 'em a bit dark & dirty they'd get a runout in something....actually, thinking about it - these would work for the Eclipse Phase RPG that ronan & I have been discussing here http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,5910.0.html...hmm...look:













These could work I think - painted in a non-cartoony way...

















The sleek nature of SH-type figures fits quite well with the slinky nature of Transhumans...Hmm...

[ronan]

What a good idea !
I was stuck thinking about 10mm !

Nik : are you a God ? 

[sebigboss79]

Some serious Totty material there....and as always Nik is involved

Nah - just a gamer with an eye for possibilities

No surprise there though, eh? 

Actually - maybe I could be a totty god? Sounds like a decent career move...

[Mexican Dave]

GordonY is correct. I like these

Are they coming to Skelp.Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease.

Having 10mm painting frenzy at the moment.

So working on that list 

[Leon]

Are they coming to Skelp.Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease.

Should be, they'll be on the Minibits stand from Colours onwards.  The only limitations will be where we can't get the extra stand space, but we've asked for 24-30ft at Skelp, so you'll have to badger the guys to make sure there's room!

[nikharwood]

My order's in - definitely going to have fun with these and paint them more for sci-fi than superheroes a la Eclipse Phase (and Numenera further down the line); I think the head-swap possibilities are great and I'm looking forward to mixing that up a bit too...

One of the attractions, for me, of this type of gaming is that you don't need loads of figures...less is more and all that...which somehow I manage to accommodate in my megalomaniac wargaming mind  

Nice mention for Minibits on the Crossover site too: http://crossoverminiatures.com/2012/09/03/minibits-is-the-new-uk-stockist-for-crossover-miniatures/  

[Leon]

Aye, looking good!  Got to get the new rack sorted tomorrow ready for Colours this weekend.

[sultanbev]

ah, like the look of some of them. Not my cup of gaming tea, but certainly nice to paint. Make a refreshing change from regiments of 10mm and 15mm figures! Will pick a couple up at whichever show we coincide at..

Cool, it'll possibly be Fiasco next at the Royal Armouries?
