Love this mini, and the head options. Look forward to seeing more.

Nice sculpting work, but it definitely doesn't resemble "The Road" to me...at all. She's wearing a very modern tactical backpack, and using alta kneepads and a supressed accu-modded M14 w/ a serious scope on there. It's way too tech/equipped for a post-apocalypse mini to me. Looks more like an anime special forces lady.

Thank you for the feedback, Elbows.

Our inspiration for creating this line is a loose interpretation of the summation of such works as "The Road" and other works of fiction we had mentioned before, but without the explicit mention of radiation, nuclear war, or the inclusion of zombies, androids, or lame Johnny Depp AIs. However, because we wanted to focus on the time period of 0-2 years after a cataclysmic event, where the majority of the population has either been killed off or vanished, we feel that there would be a huge surplus of weapons and equipment, be it military and civilian, out in the environment for anybody to utilize. This would be very common, especially in the US, for just walking into a big box hunting and fishing store will easily leave you access to thousands of guns, hunting accessories, and boxes of ammunition. Just walking into a Walmart will leave you access to a healthy supply of rifles, ammunition, and snuggies. The same could be said for looting / scavenging of residential homes. We have quite a few avid collectors of high end firearms, so for one to stumble across military grade weapons and equipment in such an environment would not be a stretch, in our opinion. Plus, with the 1033 program, municipal police departments have easy access to military weapons and equipment. Just pull up some CNN footage of recent riots. You will see the police with some very serious gear, including DMR rifles (very similar to the one we have chosen for her) that were usually reserved for marksman in the military.

As for our female marksman miniature, we equipped her with standard issue equipment that can easily be found in any army surplus store across the US. It is up to the player to decide if she was ex-special forces, a former police officer, or a non-practicing divorce attorney who has one hell of a strong head on her shoulders, and who is very determined to survive.

In regards to the condition of her gear, we again leave that up to the player to determine. We took the GW's approach to this, in that we will produce our miniature to have equipment in pristine condition, which then can easily be degraded by utilizing weathered paint finishes or surface modification.

We are very interested to see what players do with this miniature, and the many that will follow her for this line!

Like! Is this an adult-size figure or a youth/teen-size figure? There's a lot of details that make this look like a teen.

Save for the rifle this is a real person I might se at the mall. Hoodie, Uggs and yoga pants. The apocalypse is on sale y'all! Keep it coming.

wheres her latte?

These look great, shame international postage and probable customs charges make them too much for me, but top notch work!

Vorian, we are starting to work with UK / EU drop shippers, so hopefully over the next few months, we will have distribution set up in the UK / EU for easier purchase.

Ooh, well don't run out of stock before you do!

Two more views:

will you release a different pose for 01a?

Thank you for the question.

Yes, we have the alternate pose already sculpted, and should have a teaser image ready in the coming weeks. Please stay tuned.

Kind regards,

Tomek

I bought the teen girl with rifle and back pack. Strife series 02a.

Very nice. The barrel of the rifle is very thin though and I fear would break with any kind of handling in a game.

She is about as tall as most of my Hasslefree female minis.

I recommend

Edit: they are all on 30mm bases in the pic

Thanks for the comparison pic. Reminds me I need to get some Hasslefree stuff as well.

Here is an early preview of an upcoming release:

Here is an another early preview of an upcoming release.

This genetically enhanced warrior / soldier stands 38mm tall (from head to foot), and is scaled for 28mm tabletop gaming. You can leave him naked as-is, or be creative and add your own augmentations, clothing, or armor for a custom appearance.

We might be releasing an alternate version of this soldier with full interface points / plugs around his body for connection to possible exoskeleton / power armor.

That the female figures are sensibly clothed and the male figure not is hilarious.
Nice figures with decently sized rifles and good poses, there is a lot to like here.

Maybe add a normal scaled human next to that super soldier to give us a sense of scale?

Thank you for the suggestion, Malika2. Once the 3D prints arrive, we can take a comparison photo against other popular miniatures of the same subject.

Just as a quick comparison, a standard GW Primaris Space Marine measures about 39-40mm (from head to foot) in full armor. Our soldier stands 38mm tall (from head to foot) naked.

Kind regards,

Tomek

Hey, look! A Dr. Manhattan for superhero games!!!

Any chance you will be making any of your female figures a little more S.T.A.L.K.E.R.-ish, like having a gas mask and perhaps a hooded coat or jacket?

I really like your miniatures and how they've come together. Great work!

its about time! a proper sm figure without plate! well done!

Thank you for the question, Fenriswulf.

Since S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is one of our main inspirations, we do have plans to release Eastern European styled miniatures in the future. We first focused on North American styled characters, and hope to incorporate other themes from areas such as Africa, Asia, and possibly South America. We have too much love for the AS Val & VSS Vintorez rifles to leave them out of our miniatures.

Kind regards,

Tomek

Oh man... If you go full Stalker style for some of your minis I am going to be so in.

Please tell me these miniatures scale well to the older style Infinity Miniatures (ones which are smaller than the current ones out there).

Big dude up there kind of reminds me of the Bio-Men from Defiance.

I find it somewhat surprising how a naked man qualifies as SFW whereas any scantily clad woman is thrown into the NSFW thread...
