In the early 2000s (wow, has it been so long that now we have an early 2000s?) there was a Swedish company called Cell Entertainment who put out some nifty stuff like magnetic mecha models and a car wars type game.

But I always liked their cyber angels vs cyber demon game 1999. Never played it but picked up some models, just in time for them for go broke and the models to disappear forever.

I see some at Brookhurst Hobbies but for the most part you can't get 'em anymore.

So here's a trip down memory lane.

None of the painting is mine, I'm just uploading another lost part of our gaming heritage.

I wanted Cell to succeed and hit it big. Are they still around?

Nah, they closed up shop pretty suddenly. And strangely no one bought their molds. Even Mutant Chronicles is more or less around if you look for it but 1999 is dead, dead, dead.

Those models are really nice.

The last chaplain looking mo'fo looks so cool! Don't like the female models, though. They look scarily butch

So, in other words, they look very GW-ish?

Those models look awesome. I can see alot of conversion possibilities. What size bases are they on?

IIRC most of them are on terminiator size bases. They're a bit bigger than GW, especially the angels and demons.

WOW I must have that one. Great find. And sad that we lost so much of the gaming history.

I can't help wondering what future gamers think about when they'll see a post very much like this one in a decade's time. "Hell Dorado? What a stupid name!"

:-)

Yea that huge robo demon with a huge mouth thingis awesome! Man I could see that with some GS being a seriously tuff warboss. Thanks for sharing kid

I have a very small 1999 Angelics force and one Desade figure (standard bearer). The figs are great, and I'm sorry you can't get 'em anymore, except through limited channels.

As limited channels go, Brookhurst Hobbies is a fantastic company. I've ordered stuff from them in the past and they've always been great.

Um...

"Ultramarines" anyone?

what scale are these? comparable to 40k?

A bit larger, 32mm maybe. But for characters and monsters they work fine.

Has anyone found anywhere besides Brookhurst that has them?
