There was a mention that antenocitis was going to be starting a fantasy and modern range.

I'm guessing that the cars will be available from them eventually. Won't be untill after their infinity kickstarter in November though.

Hmm looks like my restic enforcers will be going up on evil bay soon.

(Not the sniper though, he's amazing)

Ap 2 and firestorm is scary

And with fast should be able to avoid most most nasty cc encounters. (Do I remember right that you have to dismount your bike if your fighting in CC)

Too bad I don't have dz ma stats allowing for that.


Are you talking about bringing DZ teams into Mars Attacks? That would be interesting., and probably pretty doable using the current figures' stats as a baseline to start from.

I nominate GrimDork to do all the legwork!


Seconded

Good luck Grim

Got my Forge guard today, was only expecting one but I got x3 sets - WIN

I'll get some pics up tomorrow.

It looks like Everything but the arms only works with a specific part e.g a's legs don't fit on b's torso.

It does make me wonder why they went modular with the legs if there's only a set position they work in.

Forge guard

Sprues



Don't know if you can make it out but the legs, torsos and a few other bits are marked a-e, as I mentioned before legs a will only "cleanly" fit torso a, and also shoulder pads a will only fit torso a cleanly as well.

Here's a pic of where the legs connect to the torso's so you can see what your dealing with.


There is some movement in the positioning of the legs but I'm talking about slight changes in the angle of the legs and even then your looking at a gap you'll need to fill.

The arms fit into a hole created when you add the shoulder pad piece as below.

So there is more arm movement options but again not a lot.

I've put 2 forge guard together so far and their fun minis, and a squad will look nice in my collection but given the limited ability to repose them (without a fair bit of work) I'll definitely be putting at least one squad on eBay.

As I said earlier, I still don't see why they didn't have the legs pre attached to the torsos given theres not only one set of legs that fit correctly surly non preattached accessories would have been a better use of the space.

Overall I'm a bit disappointed by the undelivered promise of full customisability which Ive come to expect from multipart HIPS infantry kits but I still like the models a lot.

And finally the important bit ....scale shots

Deadzone scale shot

Enforcer, forge guard, human reb, forge guard, Brokkr, plague G3

Other ranges scale shot

GW ork, Mars attacks marine, forge guard, GW guardsman aka Bob, forge guard, Mars attacks Martian, infinity pano fusilier, GW space marine true scaled by yours truly

More hair would be better at the moment they look a bit too ripped, but then that might make sense with the new fluff.
