The Culture was my first thought too... RIP, Mr. Banks.
On seeing the Preacher - that mini, minus the legs, would make a great basis for a conversion of a "tanked" Princeps of a Warlord Titan.

Honestly, I wouldn't have a big problem with the Sedition Wars restics if I knew what they would be like when I ordered them (which I do now) and if they were priced reasonably for their quality. Yes, I am still bitter over the $15 THI suits and $10 character minis. If Sedition Wars was priced more like Mantic, it would be a lot more attractive for retail purchasing.
Yeah, I think they unfortunately fell in the middle (at least with some of the add-ons)... without low price or high quality, kind of a miniature pergatory...
They've said they'll have production samples of new models, I believe, so hopefully folks will know what they're getting for new releases in restic.

However, I think they are mocking the kickstart backers.
As a kickstarter backer I feel I deserve one of those shirts, especially with what's printed on the back.

In the dystopian times ahead, the shiny still wrapped in plastic "Sedition Wars" box you brought back from your scavenging duty is just going to hurt you; the only punishment fitting that misdead is having to clean off all the moldlines with the makeshift knife you carry around. If you survive all the self inflicted cuts and accidental stabbings - you get to wear that t-shirt as a warning to all.

We’re currently on our way down to London for Salute tomorrow, the car is packed to the roof and I’ve just remembered I forgot to print out the price lists – one more job to do when we get there! We’re really looking forward to the show though, it’s always a great day and we really enjoy catching up with everyone. We’re at stand TL13 – please come by and see us if you’re going to be there.
Just time for one more preview though!
Tumult is the AI of the Bastion ship, Arms of Sorrow. Seen here in his Envoy form, he appears as a tall sleek humanoid. Apparently unarmed, he is still a dangerous opponent with many micro weapons concealed in his frame.
All I see is this
Strange it makes me think of this
The recent sculpts really have my interest peaked.

That's The Bicentennial Man - a heartwarming story about conforming to the insecurities of bigots, even if it kills you.
That movie traumatized the gak out of me as a child. Awful. Robin Williams and everyone else involved should feel bad about making it.
The android is the first figure from the line that's really jumping out at me. I could certainly find a use for it, assuming the final production quality is up to par.

I think the models look great.. are they more like terminator sized or centurion sized? If it's the latter then it's a better deal than GW where you get 3 for like $75

Haven't seen a centurion in person, but for a scale comparison, the collar/shoulders on the model released in PVC is about the same height as the top of a terminator's carapace, meaning they stand a (smallish) head taller than terminators. Unless they've dealt with the material issue, I'd expect the resin ones to be marinally larger still, putting the shoulders taller than a terminator's top.

Or that McVey has enough of a fandom/following/collector base that a certain group of people will buy anything he releases. Not unusual at all, especially for the smaller, boutique manufacturers.
The big phaedrus has really fine detail. Those extensions are all separate bits, so they won't break in the mail, though I've been too nervous to glue mine in until it's painted...
