That's great news. Hopefully I'll be seeing those in my mailbox soon. Can't wait to see the new miniatures and the heavy weapons. I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume that the heavy weapons will be "compatible" with the GW stuff. IE a heavy machine gun, a laser cannon, a light rapid fire cannon, and perhaps others.

From their facebook page:
"Once we get through our current (and very exciting) projects Samurai are on the "to do" list; along with post apocalypse humans (someone has to fight the Zombies and Great Coats). We've a lot on our plate and, unfortunately, not unlimited resources to do them with." Automatically Appended Next Post: My army of post- apoc Samurai is looking more and more likely.

2 more tidbits from their facebook and forums, it looks like they're planning on going into sci-fi in a big way. Power armor, aliens and... sci-fi Brits?
Alien Suns is Wargames Factory's foray into the Science Fiction arena.
Let me unveil a deep, dark secret - long, long before (and in a galaxy far, far away) I was a history buff - I was an SF one. Especially Star Wars.
But Star Wars led me to Star Trek, to SF novels, to Asimov, Resnick, Turtledove, Morgan, and the list goes on.
SF has always been my first love - and the "Greatcoats" have pushed WF into the SF arena.
The Alien Suns universe is something I've been working on for over 20 years. "Istanbul" - a novella about a future war in Turkey - was my senior thesis in college.
The launch of the Greatcoats - or Shock Troops as they are officially designated - allows me (and WF) to spread my SF wings and bring the Alien Suns setting into the limelight.
Over the next few weeks I'll be explaining the universe and setting the scene for more SF releases. I hope you enjoy!
The universe is a rich one - and there are myriad opportunities to expand it - so I hope you will join me in creating a rich tapestry to bring the Alien Suns to life!
All the best,
Tony
And...
Hi Jim - the next set (before we do Shock Troop Heavy Weapons) focuses on our friends "across the Pond" and their allies in 2408. I think you'll like what we're working on - lots of heads, flexible body choices (split torsos/legs), and some VERY cool weapons if I do say so myself (since I was the one who designed them!)
After that - it's onto French Foreign Legion (which, of course, includes alien recruits), USMC, Japanese power armor, and more. The Alien Suns universe is pretty rich in subject matter - and we'll be revising the Liberty and Union League to let you vote on what you want next. It should be loads of fun for everyone!
Thanks again,
Tony

That's great KK! Hope you get them soon, though it would be upsetting to me if somebody ordered through a 3rd party and got it sooner than my direct order. My birthday is tomorrow, perhaps I'll get them then. At least that will take some of the burden off of being an old man.
Does Wargames Factory generally supply the miniatures with bases? I know the pictures show them with bases, so I wasn't sure.

Does anybody know if their shipping on any other items has been affected? I ordered direct from WF a box of their awesome-looking zombies about 2 weeks ago, but haven't seen them in the post yet.

Don't count on it. I ordered a freakin box of zombies direct from them a freakin month ago, and they never delivered. They haven't even replied to my emails, messages through their website, or to the paypal dispute I recently opened.

Picked up a box at the LGS today. They are pretty decent figures. Not as detailed as Imperial Guard but much improved over WF's own Zulu British soldiers, which I also own.
The models' feet have molded on bases. They are not round 25mm type bases---more like the bases molded onto the feet of Reaper miniatures. No separate bases were included (at least in my boxed set). If you want to play them as IG, you'll likely want to buy a bag of 25mm round bases to mount them on.

Cool. Looks like I'm putting in an order to one of the bitz retailers. Hopefully I'll be getting the minis and the bases around the same time.
