I was underwhelmed by the chaps-wearing contractors but I really think you might have something here with the broken.

A HIPS kit suitable for generic rag-tag sci-fi troops could be widely popular all over the place, so there's a lot of potential sales outside actual MEdge customers. I don't like the look of the weapons but who doesn't have a million spare guns laying around anyway?

Are those female and alien heads I'm seeing among the Broken figs?

Yup. The female heads are relatively androgynous, so can pass for either, really (which is appropriate given the bodies they go on...) and there are a whole slew of different alien heads.


I can't wait to get my hands on some of these and have a play.

I'm actually very interested in the sci fi alien people sprue!

Any information, such as better sprue shots, potential release date, potential MSRP, etc?

I would really like to see some better pictures, close-up with good lighting. And sprue pics. I can't really tell what I'm looking at in the current pics.

Remember these aren't production sprues, but pre-production so may have bits that are rough/not casting right,

so we may well have to wait until they've got some final prodiction versions to get detailed photos from them (as opposed to con goers versions)

That's right - we will be releasing some more detailed photos once the final production versions have been signed off. We also we have some other models in the works that we're very excited about - expect more from the Spiral Arm Studios team over the coming months, we have lots of exciting plans that we've been working hard on!

In the meantime, thanks to everyone who visited us at Salute - it was really great to see so many of you.

Read the first two novels in the Maelstrom's Edge Universe now:

Maelstrom's Edge: Faith - read a sample here!

and

Maelstrom's Edge: Sacrifice

We promised during our Kickstarter that we would bring you a collection of short stories set in the Maelstrom's Edge universe featuring a host of bestselling and award-winning authors, including Alastair Reynolds, Aliette de Bodard and Jeff Carlson.



Today Tales from the Edge: Escalation is available on the Kindle store! Inside you'll join ship captains taking clients to doomed worlds, Remnant Fleet Champions on impossible missions and Karist Enclave priests learning to control the mighty Angels, all told by some of the best voices in science fiction today. It's also free to read if you belong to the Kindle Unlimited scheme.

As well as Alastair, Aliette and Jeff, we have great contributions from incredible writers like Jaine Fenn, Liz Williams, Jon Cooper, Karin Lowachee and Rob Ziegler, as well as a story each from the lead writers on the Maelstrom's Edge project, Stephen Gaskell and Tomas L. Martin.

In appreciation for the launch of Tales from the Edge: Escalation, the first novel in the Battles of Zycanthus sequence, Faith, will be free on Amazon from Thursday 13th July to Monday 17th July. Just as a reminder you can also find on Amazon the second book in the Battles for Zycanthus, Sacrifice, as well as our first short story collection, Tales from the Edge: Emergence.

If you would prefer a hard copy of our books, all four of them are available to purchase from the Maelstrom's Edge store. In celebration of our professional anthology, we've made the audiobook 'Fracture' available for free to all VIP members of the webstore for the next month - go download it if you haven't already!

As a final note, if you've enjoyed any of our fiction, please do leave a review on Amazon - it boosts our work a great deal and helps us to bring in more great authors to our collections in the future!

I'll admit to being slightly biased here, but Escalation was a damn good read. Some really cool and unexpected stories in there.

I haven't had a chance to read Emergence yet... That's next in the queue.

We just broke through the 2000 like barrier on our Facebook page so to celebrate, here's another teaser of the Broken.



This model is our first shared, painted Broken figure, made with our all plastic, multipart kit which was teased at Salute this year. The kit makes 6 models, with 11 different alien head options and 12 human head options. Like us on facebook to make sure you dont miss the release announcement if you like the look of rag-tag sci-fi troops with shared alien and human parts

That photo looks familiar...

More seriously these make for a great rag tag force, so many possible combos of parts / pose.

Looks like it might make a cool generic pulpy sci-if skirmish force for stuff like Rogue Stars, Rogue Planet etc, especially with the mix of races! Sort of what the Frostgrave kits do for fantasy skirmish.

If the rest look as good as this guy, this should be a great kit. The proportions look to have been improved since the previous infantry kits. Great job! Question, are any of the heads on the sprue eearing headgear of any sort, like hats or helmets?

About 7 or 8 of the human heads are wearing headgear (mainly hats or 'budget' targetting devices). Masks are quite common on the humans too.

Digging those weapons. They look very jury-rigged and scrappy.

I just might, thank you for thinking of me.

Hopefully there will be some hands without guns (tools, computers, gesturing) to make true civilians.

No hands have guns, all 36 arm/hands are empty, with weapons attached after.

Interesting. I usually hate that aesthetic, but it hasn't jumped out at me in the preview images so far.

Yes there are a few female heads, and a bunch of gender ambiguous heads as well - seemed a bit crazy to make men and aliens and not include women as an option too!

Still not liking those shoulders and proportions. But everything else looks good, a definitely improvement over time.
