Subject: Re:Puppets War - preview of new heavy Mankind troopers
Dear friends, this is reminder about our MONTHLY painting competion - June edition. There are still more then two weeks left, so it is plenty of time to paint something and to show us your work.
Here are the rules:
- Take photo or photos of some Puppets War models painted by you.
- Send them using this e-mail address - communitypuppetswar@gmail.com - Wait for the end of montly competition...
... when we will announce a winner. This round of contest will run till the end of June. Prize is not yet known (but be assured, it will be nice). Selected photos may be used by our company (we would like to show them on our website, here and on some selected forums).
One more thing - please take photos of only our models or scratch-built ones from our bits.
Here you can see our Cyber Giant Beetle painted by talented Atropos.
I don't get these guys.. I like the design but what is their analog in 40k meant to be? I thought Warriors at first but they don't have enough limbs (Warriors still have 4 arms right?) . If they're meant as hormagaunts, they are kinda spensive for a horde unit. Are people using them as Raveners maybe?
EDIT.. I just looked and Raveners need 4 arms too.. huh. Well, I still like them for 15mm or other 28mm games where I get to make up my stuff etc. though the price is a little high.
They're whatever you want them to be. It's not like the mini HAS to have four arms, is it?

Light Biker
Today I would like to show you one of our earlier models again - Light Biker. It is a sci-fi version of light cavalryman, complete with a lance or two guns. What I especially like is very natural pose of the rider and cool design of the vehicle - VSE Light Motorcycle.
You can buy this model as a single miniature (8 EUR) or in a pack of three (20 EUR)

Subject: Re:Puppets War - New competition - and no painting involved!:)
Puppetswar minis? Don't get me started! Absolutely insane, just take a look at their 'Mankind' stuff. I'm mean, it started out OK. Marines for the space age, nice and high tech. Clean lines and cool guns were all well and good. But then it went downhill. All of a sudden you've got all kinds of add-on parts that are just nonsensical. Who wants their sci-fi troops to have Samurai helmets, or Roman-style shoulder pads? Or swords, who uses bloody swords in the future? This isn't the Dark Ages, this is science fiction, dammit!
And then there's the vehicles! 'Thunder Crow'? You can't just put a type of weather and a bird together to name a fighter jet! What next, the Storm Raven? The Thunder Hawk? And why on earth would anyone cross the galaxy in a starship to go to war on a motorbike? The Air Strikers were the last straw! What soldier in their right mind would abandon his perfectly good machine gun and pick up a jetpack, a sword and a flipping pistol?
Don't buy Puppetswar models; their designers clearly don't understand what proper sci-fi is, and it looks like they would much rather set about creating some bastardised Fantasy in Space rubbish. Utter madness, and I didn't even mention the orcs in space. Yes, you read that right. Orcs in bloody space. With space guns and space tanks made of space scrap, presumably!
All in jesst, of course.

You can always count on Puppetswar for new old re-releases and new head designs nobody asked for! In the grimdark future of Puppetswar there is only magnet holes and tons of troopers in the same armor but different headgear!
(I kid.. I really like the look of those helmets )
I don't really have anything bad to say. Your Alpha Troopers look fantastic and I am really looking forward to converting them for Infinity. The heads and helmets are great, and just the right size for what I am looking for. Especially the Alpha Trooper heads - Very Brotherhood of Nod vibe which I absolutely love.
Cheers guys!

Hello Friends
Today you can see some of our upcoming models, let's say they are 'Knights'. We think that they look great but still we need your help. First, we can't decide what weapons should they wield. Second, should Knights be equipped with banners and shoulder pads or should they be cheaper and without them? (Such additional parts will be available separately in infantry accessories section of our webstore then). Last thing - do you have some proper name for them?
Leave your comments, please, as we are interested in your opinions. We will give one full set of such Knights to one randomly chosen commenting person, who will be free to add suitable accessories to miniatures too.
As for equipment: hammers and shields would be nice(sword/shield/lance are classic knight equipment though). Personally I would prefer the cheaper option.
Come up with some creative hate of our products. Author who will make us laugh will receive few new models from Insectoid Swarm range - 15 Insectoid Warriors, 3 Arachnoids and 3 Insectopods.
