Hi



I introduce Giant Hobby new miniature company from japan.
(Note: I'm not their staff.)

I've talked designers today. In their own shop at Tokyo.
They said they are planning game system for their minis.
“The Game is going to be more like board game”,they told me.
Other than that,I have no information about the game.

Anyway,have a look at fantasy miniatures.
They have humans,elves,dwarfs. But I like their monsters.
So in this thread,I introduce monsters from Giant Hobby.


Spear Mash (hyphae monster? Not Ork. fungus man.)


Poison Mash(It seems fungus man with Poisoned Knife. I bought this one Today.)


Myconid Predator Rider(Fungus Man cavalry?)


Stone Golem (Golem made of Stone.)


Alastor The Quad hands ( 4 hand are seems quite handy)


Hunter Crab (Crab which hunt something. Human? Maybe.)



Behemos (Evil guy on Evil looking skull mono cycle)


Check Other miniatures at their online store. (メタルミニチュア is category Metal Miniatures)

P.S.
As you know,Japan were teared apart by earthquake.
Its not suitable place to tell this. But I must say Thank you all who donate,care,help us.

Behemos (Evil guy on Evil looking skull mono cycle)

Hahaha that is great! Totally want that for my chaos army.

Loving the mash chaps. Might have to bag a few.

I really like the behemos! might have to check them out!

Skull Mono Cycle is WIN!.
The Golem I'm bleh about, but it is quite unique.

Seriously? You guys have really lowered your standards.

You assume we had standards to begin with.

I like the Fungus man. That could be an actual new idea for a fantasy army.

Very cool miniatures !

different...very different...

Very WoW-ish.

CHAOS UNICYCLE! Thank god I am not buying models I don't need anymore, because that would totally have a place in my closet of "This is cool, but I won't remember why in a few months." I can see myself planning an army around that model.

That thing is too cool. Might have to pick one up, maybe put a different rider in it.

Well, if they get a site with english on it. Im not playing guessing games ordering in a foreign language.

Would be even better if someone like FRPgames or thewarstore picked up the line.

Im digging the fungus warriors too, and they were in an old edition of Warhammer fantasy roleplay along with zoats lol

Um.....wow, incredibly expensive. 5,800yen for that skull unicycle demon.....that's more than $60 (USD).

But this one is begging to be a chaos dwarf earthshaker or something....

They even sell GW hobby supplies.

That first mash would be perfect for my orc and goblin army. In the army book it states that some Night Goblin Shaman eat so many fungi that they start turning into Shamanshrooms. It be great for my Night Goblin Great Shaman.

Some average and some really good miniatures.

My favorites are these "Eshin Jezzails" (plus the omits, Infighters and Mashes), though the miniatures are not exactly cheap.

Awwww Jawas.

Whootini!

(more like a sandperson though surely?)

Some real interesting peice there, (until the last one ) the certainly should have any accustaions of plagarism!

Obviously they are the military arm of the Jawas! Combat goggles act as reverse sunglasses to prevent their glowing eyes from being noticed, while being draped in less pointy robes allows them to hide behind rocks better.

Little known fact: Jawas did not have a military until after the stormtrooper massacres of very long ago. True story.

They look like fairly good quality, but no-where near good enough for the price, you could probably get your own model custom sculpted for that.

I am surprised there hasnt been a joke about
Giant Enemy Crabs!

They are charming but not my cup of tea in general. The jawas are great though.

Those guys really look cool.

How much for the uh.. Jawa's?

I could pick up a few and use them for.... non-Hrud.

There are some cool looking models there.

The trouble is the price. With current exchange rate, a 1,300 yen Poison Mash Fungus or a ClanMole is about £10.00 before VAT.

$15 to $16 USD.

I think they are unique... yet the consensus is over-priced... unless you are used to buying minis in AUS... in which case only a few are ridiculous.

The hunter-crab is something very few alternatives exist for.

Skull Unicycle is really cool.
