Very nice, I keep thinking about buying one of these things just to detail and paint up. Give it Zimmerit and Schurtsen.

It is big, and pricey, but really, it is Weird War II and well worth it!

It is a lot of points to field in a game too, as you might imagine...

I have been waiting a long time for this, have to say I'm not that impressed. The body looks totally out of scale with the huge legs.
Imagine you have been chosen to pilot the Fuhrer's new, war winning, weapon. What would your reaction be? You can just hear the techs 'Ja, der body ist small und not much armour, ja der ammunition ist in there mit you but don't vorry no allied rounds can penertrate der legs!' Will you get a spare pair of legs with it to do a destroyed ED-209 looking wreck?

that really looks awful. I'd hope that they would at least -try- to get the proportions right. I mean, where does the ammo go? Where do the crew go?

Anyone have size comparison between west wind product and GW?

( are their other products all the same scale with each other? )

Uggh, please, delete that picture!!

The legs are really a little oversized. However, what is much more important: How does the crew get into this thing? Do they have special field ladders for it? Or does it have a door on the rear of one of the legs, complete with a staircase? The commander sure looks happy, I bet he's proud of climbing all the way up without slipping and breaking several bones or important control instruments

Yep that 1940s robot walker is totally unrealistic.

The model looks like it'd be a good base for a custom Titan but the price makes GW's look good However it is a resin and metal model - does FW offer anything similar at this price? I'm glad SOTR is around though - more mini companies the better.

Yea imo thats a problem with Tau Crisis Suits proportions as well...chubby thigh syndrome although the entire model is pretty chunky.

Yeah well. I didn't want to convey that message. I mean, a lot of 40K vehicles are also totally unrealistic, but at least they have hatches and apertures where you can get inside. Even the orky ones! Perhaps teleporting technology was more stable in 1945 than it'll be in thirty thousand years when there's a lot of chaos diffusions in the warp.

This game is really pretty cool.

The walkers, demons, zombie troops, the little trick with ading the ghosts, werewolves, etc. Add to the mix that you can use regular WW2 stuff along with it, as well, and you have a pretty cool game.

I have the basic rulebook, and will be getting in on Incursion when I get home, along with a batch of Brainwerst and Sniper scenario teams.

Good times, man, Good times.

I LOLed the realistic crack, considering the great looking Nazi zombie officer type.

I think he's probibly my favorite figure in this games range.

The Walkers are pretty tough, PLUS they have rules for you to come up with your own type of walkers.

You buy one of those Jap robot models, and a sherman or a tiger tank and mix them together.
Tank with legs, or you can add 4 legs to the chasse for a really cool hybrid.

Good game, hell of alot of possibilities.

Think about fighting Operation Market Garden with a zombie horde mixed in for laughs. Stalingrad, with a supernatural twist...

Hellboy meets the dirty dozen or Kelly's heros.
