I'd not seen these before but apparently they're from the 90s.

They also have the old Copplestone line and some other neat stuff like Cthulhu.

Most of these are on the small size, 25mm, but vehicles should work fine. Prices are in Euros.

Mechanispider! Do want!

I have some of these, they were out at the same time as Coppelstone Future Warriors line. Not ti bad fir what they are.

MADE! OF! WIN!

Wow, those are like a Bladerunner/Total Recall/Demolition Man sort of flashback in miniature form!

Just throw in a Johnny Cab....

The spider is a must-have. I see some techpriests getting a new walky-method soon.

The spider is nice, the others are rather bland.

I want scaling for this one. It looks like the long needed motive unit for scratchbuilt Therian Hekats. All I then need to do is replace the body with a circular 'turret' bottom, add a jetbike carapace on top with two mechanical looking 'scything talons' over the top. currently I am trying to get some from a looted Guysack and am having problems..

I like the police buggy. The spider is nice too but I don't really have any use for it.

Now that could be a Tomb Spider for the Necrons. The rest, I think would need some work to bring them up to speed.

Aside from the spider? Fail.

They look cute!

Unless they are using a different size plastic round slotta base the humans in the same line are decently sized for 28 mm with a number of figs having some possibilities for 40K militias/cults.

The spider is obviously the star of the show - solid block metal vehicles aren't that interesting today, though 10 years ago I would have been impressed.

I think the vehicles are resin. They're a bit too streamlined for 40k today but they look like they drove off the pages of Rogue Trader.

They might work as Tau civilian vehicles.

Hmm the VTOL type vehicle could be used as an Arbites Ornithopter, or as the dodgiest Land Speeder you've ever seen.

But I may have to get the Spiders and make a few Stalk Tanks.

Well, they are about the right age. Didn't Grenadier go under in the 90s?

I don't really think they're that great on their own, but I think they could be awesome if well-integrated into an urban or wasteland type table, properly burnt out and ruined of course. They're definitely not without potential.

I like the bubbly police cruiser. It would make a neat model to own and paint.

How could you miss CTHULU ?

LOL

Those vehicles look almost as good as the deodorant bottle skimmer from circa 1991!

Seriously, the modelling and paintjob would not get a good response on here if they had been scratch built...



Like the spider though.

i have at least 1 of each vechicle ( except the spider)-and yes they are resin.
i use them as objectives in city fight or as terrian.

the truck i use as a transport for 40k (before chimera's were made) and they work good with Arbite squads as scenic background.




the deodrant bottle was 1984-i have 2 of those.

Not as early as 1984:



(from my mag at home that I had posted up a while ago in this thread: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/224753.page)

Was still the large format WD by the look of it so older than early 90's, but WH40K wasn't created as such until 1987. So - probably 87 or 88?

My thoughs exactly, the first car looks just like the drawing of a civilian car supplied in the vehicles section of the Rogue Trader book.

They are a thing of their time I think. Big blocks of resin, somewhat crude in appearance, a bit nostalgic. They'd be useful in some things, like a table top version of the Syndicate Wars computer game, but in 40K would just stand out as being odd.

All bar the spider are very lame.

better off just going to the local toy store and buying a toy sci-fi car.

Spider is good , the rest need alot of work or more time spent on tune-up....
