Occasionaly good old Reaper miniatures will slip some figures into their lineup without showing them off as greens first. That happens to be the case today, when they previewed treasures such as thisL
(nice looking figure, even if it will be 34mm high... unification era proto-marine? Geno warrior?)

and this figure, which looks to be useful for pulp games:


Other winners are the space gnoll/lizard:


and this not-squat (stubbin? really?)

All in all, I find it refreshing to see a large company like Reaper release figures pretty much just for the heck of it. Now if only they could stick to a uniform style and scale for their figures...

That first guy looks like he'd make a good SM Scout.

I hope they do alternate poses for that marine... I mean "Nick Stone, Intergalactic Marine"

I really like the SM scout

The little fellow has a big flare gun that's stuffed with assault cannon barrels that can be shot at great distances.

More interesting stuff

Crosswire, Super Villian


Evil Mage dude


and with another head, this guy might work as a Bowser mini

I'm really, really liking the Dragon Turtle miniature.

No idea where I'd use it, but I might just get it to paint it up!

Nice stuff!

How on Earth can you call that lame @$$ space lizard a "winner?"

The first guy is decent, but the rest of the models recieve a resounding "meh," which pretty much sums up all of Reaper.

Evil mage dude plus new farseer = devil horns

All good stuff. I like this guy



can never have too many guys in suits with guns.

I was wondering, That guy seems to be an agent of G.U.A.R.D.
isn't that a faction in monsterpocalypse?

I think the space lizard guy wins for me, wouldn't mind painting him for the hell of it. I like Xwire quite a bit too, sculpt has good things going on but generally seems to lack detail. The marine is pretty groovy.

- Salvage

Crosswire doesn't have a lot of clutter, but I guess he'd look nice in a comic-book style paintjob, something suitably garish and clean.

wannabe bowser = win!

I'd guess G.U.A.R.D. in this case might be a homage to Marvel Comic's S.H.I.E.L.D.

I know there are people who don't like the Reaper line but for the life of me I'll never understand it. Werner Klocke is one of the best sculptors in the business and Julie Guthrie's recent work is superlative. The majority of the Reaper Undead are head and shoulders above the rest of the industry's Undead figures. Some of the other stuff I have to agree could be lots better. My major complaint is that the vast majority of their line is 25mm instead of the heroic 28-32mm so they look small alongside GW stuff.

The first figure (Nick Stone, Intergalactic Marine) will be in one of my 40K armies, just don't know which one yet. I love the Dragon Turtle but have no idea what I'd use it for in 40K.

Most of the stuff they have made in the last few years has been more towards the heroic scale. GW has its own scale but most of Reaper is much more "in scale" over the last few years with GW thats for sure.

I like the marine looking guy. May have to pick up a few.

More previews!

toolbots!

Bigfoot!

This Guy!

Naked demon girls (why is it never boys? Oh, right)

Drizzit as a girl! With WINGS!

And the Orphan Maker, apparently (obscure 80s comic character, True Believers!)


Tool bots for the win!

Anyone know when the skirmish game comes out?

I like the WW2 scifi stuff, but really kicking for the skirmish stuff.

Swap the toolbot heads with Grot heads FTW.

Reich of the Dead? Or Chronoscape? the Chronoscape stuff is starting to come out now. ROTD, check Here. Tabletop Gaming News usually has the skinny.

EDIT: apparently, spring 2009.

I like the first one the best. COuld be a veteran IG or somthing.
