Fantastic looking sculpts! I wanna get the praying mantis for my wife.
I think that mini would go over better with her rather than the tyranids I was mulling over....

How does 1/35 compare to Heroic 28mm?
That bloke with the dog would make a wicked CCS advisor.

Sorry it's more like 54mm, so for 40k you're looking at dreads, daemon princes and such.
Or you could paint for fun.
They have their own game on the way.

One day, a company is going to do a range of Victoriana models without involving steampunk. Then Mad Doc Grotsnik will do a happy dance and kiss the world, and buy them all.
Nice models, shame about the Steampunk.

And oddly, just the range I've been looking for for Ripper Wars, a rather pleasent Skirmish Victoriana game minus the rather boring and hackneyed refrains of Steampunk.
Cheers matey. Any large scale ones?

yeah, they make great stuff. Pity they are not 28/32mm or 54mm, and since they are not, they would just be collectibles for me.

Your capcity to find strange & awesome models that are also quite disturbing never ceases to amaze me!

2014 will be the year of zero GW purchases. Kneadite instead of GS, no paints or models. 2014 will be the year I finally make the move to military models and away from miniature games. |

Those models are amazing. The 'commissar' is by far my favorite.

if you like the "commissar", be sure to check out the 3 other Mauser Earth minis...
the Japanese and American soldier are both incredible sculpts...
these have been available for months at the coolmini store...
wonderful pieces, that they add to fairly often...

the "tomb king" has a killer zombie croc in the same Egyptian style...
definitely on my "to paint" list...

I almost bought some myself, but the price per is another WOW factor...

If you haven't seen them yet, check out the Planet Mauser guys.
They take Wierd War 2 to a whole new level of WOW!!! 
Which, yet again, makes me ask about these larger scale miniature games.

At Games Workshop, we believe that how you behave does matter. We believe this so strongly that we have written it down in the Games Workshop Book. There is a section in the book where we talk about the values we expect all staff to demonstrate in their working lives. These values are Lawyers, Guns and Money. |
