The Alien brains have been re-released in plastic!



The boxed set includes 2 types of bodies and 2 types of heads. Enough to make 6 alien bugs. The box costs $39.99 and can be ordered here

So, 6 Zoanthropes for $40?

Sweet!

Are there any scale pics? They look like big models, but it's hard to tell.

Wow, those look good!

I hope you can offer them as singles, too, instead of the metal/resin. 6 is a bit much.

If I'm not mistaken the Trollcast stuff is being sold in boxed sets. Individual models still come in metal and resin. I will look into it for you!

Keep in mind that they are quite small:


They were also featured this week in "What's new today on the GW website

Not that much smaller though LINK

Kroot- Wow, that one is painted really well

Malika2- Thanks for the size comparison shot!

Now if only someone would make some alternate termagant models that I'd actually like...

Any of the other sets planning on getting the plastic treatment? Like the chem soldiers?

Plastic sets are coming. I'm not sure about the Chem-Soldiers, I do know that a bunch of Icesword's cast infantry kits (which haven't been released yet) are coming out soon. Think that some of them are even cooler than the Chem soldiers...

Wow...really well painted! By the way, could Phil and Ed use your pictures of the brain bug for the TFM site?

I also am using them as Zoanthropes in Hive Fleet Portentosa...



Wish I needed more..

Good news for you then!

Awesome! I hope I can email TFM and order one of each "kind".

Well you can order them from the store, if you are okay with random bodies:

Nice!

I meant one of each kin of body, as well as one of each head. But I think it's doable.

Small bit of news regarding Troll Forged Miniatures and Defiance Games: link

Is Ed "Hive Trygon" / "Troll Forged"?

Congratulations to him!

Yup, one and the same!

Whoa! Hold on! Stop!

"The new version replaces the old (now discontinued) resin, and the price drops to $9.99."

The price drops? What kind of Voodoo blood sacrifice magic are you using to make prices drop?

Ed's using this!

Minis cast in plastic and passing the savings along to the customer? HERESY!

I am not a fan of what Defiance Games does, but hope that the long inactivity of Troll Forge will eventually end.

Agreed, I utterly love and support Troll Forged but I have a lot of issue's supporting defiance in any way and shape due to how they have acted in the past as WGF. Hopefully though history won't repeat itself.

Forgive the ignorance but can you please tell me the link between Defiance and Troll Forge?

Check the link I posted 8 posts back.

Ahhh, i see how i missed it.

"As I understand it Ed is the first to make spin casting plastic commercially viable. He is already blazing away filling orders for Defiance Games, and the first TFM box sets are coming soon."

So he is the guy making the bugs. Cool.

He has ben casting them. If I'm not mistaken he hasn't done any sculpting work for them.

Awesome news because it helps Ed. Just hope it doesn't come back to bite him.

It is an improvement over his previous day job, especially since he is doing the stuff he loves to do.
