Title: First batch of new Sci-Fi vehicles!
Post by: Leon on 04 November 2023, 11:58:51 PM
We're really excited to show you these!  This is the first 4 ranges of vehicles, support weapons and artillery for our upcoming Sci-Fi ranges.  These are all going into low-temp moulds over the next week and then we can start prepping them for a release.

The infantry sculpts have all been master moulded already and we're about to start the production moulds for those too.  I'm not sure on exact timelines for the first release but I'm hoping that I can get them done before the end of the year.

Each of these sets contains a similar mix:

- Personnel, Anti-Tank, Anti-Air, Missile Battery, and Main Battle tanks
- Mortar, Rocket Launcher and Drones
- Light Artillery and Heavy Artillery pieces

We've got 2 more sets to preview so we'll get those ready and grab some photos after the Warfare show next weekend.

These are very cool - I think the first and last sets are the ones I like the most. 

The slab sidedness of the Theological APC has a kind of 1920s / Judge Dredd feel too it - very cool!

I'm drifting towards the Human Collective with their Churchill-like tracks, and the Weisel-like Empiricals - and who doesn't love grav vehicles?




Is that Wall-E in the Human Corporate vehicles, bottom left?

Quick question, Leon. How big are they? I'm assuming similar chassis length across the ranges?

Are you suggesting that "Size matters"?

Per haps a photo with one of the existing ranges vehicles in to compare it with - say a Centurion?

Indeed it does.

I'd be happy with a figure, or maybe just approximate dimensions, but a Centurion would be good too.

We're keeping the vehicles to roughly a similar size just to make pricing easier and keep the metal costs consistent.  This first 4 sets vary from around 36mm-41mm length so a bit shorter than a Centurion tank (around 50mm I think?)

I'll get some pics of them next to some of the vehicles as soon as they've been moulded up.
