Some interesting sculpts in there.

Could be good!

What's with the BDSM people?

If you survived the nuclear holocaust, wouldn't the first thing you did be to find BDSM gear before everyone else did?

Feck yeah. I'll be dressed like either Zed from Zardoz or The Humungous from The Road Warrior..but there will be a lot more people dressed like that, too. Gotta do something after all the liquor and smokes are gone.

When civilization crumbles, taste flies out the window too...

Hmmm..

Will keep an eye on this one. Though to be honest the...style... isnt growing on me.

Interesting sculpts, but nothing that really sings to me. My favorite aspect of post-apocalyptic fiction is the scavenger/survival aspect. A bunch of bondage chicks and Insane Clown Posse fans =/= that.

LOL,

An army of Jokers, The Matriarchy of the Sybil, and Mutants that look like Zulus.

We are missing the Spartans.

As for this game, it looks to be going with the standard scale creep that we are seeing, is it up to around 32 MM, now? On that thought the obvious question is WHY?

Why are these games creeping up, when metal costs are going through the roof? Or are these guys resin, in which I still ask WHY the size creep?

If they don't want to sell minis, I'm sure there is probibly a good market is some BDSM stores out there.

No reason NOT to. * CRACK THAT WHIP!!!*

I've never really been into post-apoc stuff anyway, and I'm just even more turned off by the fact that every minis company and game developer is going to jump on the bandwagon for a couple of years before someone else has a new and exciting original idea.

And people say the DE models are bad...

Excellent question. I often wonder the same thing. Anyone out there with sculpting or production experience that can answer this gets a cookie.

Back on topic, the Matriarchy and Mutants are unimpressive. The Clowns, however, mostly have awesome poses and terrifying ideas. That one with the flamethrower is hands-down the best of the set. Were they not all grievously out of scale, I'd love to see these guys in Necromunda.

In the Grim Darkness of the Not-Too-Distant Future, there is only leather and studs.

As well as many other GrimDarktm wonders.

For instance, penises.

And lots of nipple tape.

Delicious.

This game will suffer the same problems that Dark Age had, lack of miniature appeal. The Dark Age guys had to pull way back from the overly BDSM style of their game.

I would dress in BDSM gear if I weren't so prone to rashes. You could just model pointy ears on them and tell GW to keep their Dark Eldar.

Interesting, the only thing I'm worried about is that what makes these minis look so great are the amazing paintjobs, meaning that a less skilled painted version would show the flaws of the models...

Scale creep happens because it is easier to make models look detailed and paint up nicely when they are larger.

This Eden is nothing to do with the Eden post-apocalyptic cyberpunk comic anyway.

The mindless drones might be useful for SF but they don't have any pics up.

And body hair.

I don't like em. They're on a larger scale, and have a worse sculpt than alot of GW stuff imo.

WOOOOOOO!! cenobites here i come!

I'm not digging these at all, as mentioned, the larger scale should have allowed for a far superior sculpt and this ain't it imo.

Listen. If I survived the nuclear holocaust it would be because I was ALREADY
wearing my gear and not because I needed more.

WORD!

Nothing here really grabs me either. Shamans, Skinny robots, Insane Clown Posse fans, and ladies clothed only in plants, isn't exactly how I picture the post-apocalyptic world. We need a Fallout miniatures game. THAT is post-apocalyptic.

Apparently, you've never experienced some of the finer things in life.

We shure do. and if its in scale with 40k that'll be awesome.

Liberty Prime, stomping Tau and preaching anticommunist slogans at them...


Democracy Is Not An Option!

I am quite certain that many companies pick a non-standard scale specifically so that players can't use other manufacturers' models.
