It's looking like I'm goin Bauhaus

If Bauhaus looks this good I really can not wait to see how Capitol looks!

It could be me, but the mask looks smaller then her actual head...

Agreed. Needs to be bigger. The helmet indents below the cheek bones would be crushing her cheeks/jawbone and shes going to have a bad case of"helmet hair" when she takes off that skintight helmet.

Shoes could perhaps be beefed up a bit too. So far the shoes/boots on many of the figs look a bit dainty for combat... Good ankle support and long term durability means heavier boots.

Never been a fan of the roll bars on the vulcan. Looks like they'll be either optional or easy to remove though.

I'm waiting for Capitol too, even though Bauhaus looks great!

(Plus, I mean, Bauhaus was great, and then we got Tones on Tail and Love and Rockets from them too!)



What did the Capitiol miniatures look like 'back in the day'?

Will there be a Peter Murphy, Daniel Ash, and David J command squad?

Check the latest update. They show the armoured canopy option as well (not to mention you can also decline to attach the roll-cage entirely and go for the smooth look).

A question about those five man troop boxed sets and by extension the starters. Will those include parts to make sergeants, special weapon troopers or medics? What about Kaptains/Lieutenants/etc.?

Maybe Prodos could give us some hints on army building, does the composition of quads change from 1E or 2E?

I think that Vulan's armour should be smooth, without scratches. It is easer to make scratches by your self than smoothing existing scratches.
And second question is what is going on with Capitol forces, how they gonna look like?

As someone without any experience in warzone, be it fluff or minis: how big is that vulkan? is it 28mm mecha size, or 28mm power armour/ 15 mm mecha?
if the latter, any indication on the price for just a bunch of those?

The originals are about half a head taller than a Terminator. The Kapitans (called Viktors in Ultimate Warzone) were larger still. Both were a bit wider than a Terminator as well. These new ones are supposed to be 65mm tall, so they will be even bigger. So not quite mecha sized, but definitely bigger than infantry powered armour.

Here is the version with the canopy. Reminds me of something you'd see in VOTOMS or Heavy Gear (which is perfect for dieselpunk really). Definitely building my first one like this:

My thought exactly- looks more and more like a Gear Krieg Valkyrie, or?



Do not get me wrong - I like that look! Nice touch to use the SdKfz 250 front, gets the WWII ish German look!

Thanks, that'll do just fine for my purposes Guess I'm waiting for t hem to put up a pricetag now...

It's £14 for a Vulkan on kickstarter.

Not to forget their own tunes like The Man With The X-ray Eyes, Bella Lugosi's Dead, Dark Entries and so many other unforgettable classics

And here you can find some pictures of some nicely painted old Capitol minis http://www.agisn.de/html/warzone.html

Heh, true. Body like a SdKfz 250, head like a Boa/Rattlesnake. I just love the feel of the design either way.

No Imperial or Mishma per creator remarks on Kickstarter (for those of you holding out hope).

They have 'big plans' in the future for both factions.

Thanks!

Capitol looks like it would be an easy transition into the Modern Age of Miniatures.

Mishima looks like they will need a TON of help to not look really, really silly.

That mech is a beast, def going to get as many as I can.

Mishima might not be as hard as you think. They need to modernize it, get rid of the sandles and such. The armor can still have medieval flare like lobster tail helmets and carapace, maybe even some skirting, but just make it look more modern and less stylized. Maybe even more of a gundam type look to some of the armor.

...Gah, I'm really not paying attention today it seems. Thanks!
seems their system doesn't quite allow for just buying addons, but as it's only 16 quid extra for the rest of the contents of that Bauhaus starter I might as well take one of those, and a couple of extra vulcans.
I couldn't find any renders or pics of actual models for those Bauhaus infantry; I take it those aren't around yet? (asking because while the Vulcan concept doesn't do it for me, the actual render is awesome).

Let me guess: A second kickstarter.

Well, we made it 41 pages before this happened. Now Alpharius will perform "Who Killed Mr. Moonlight" a cappella. Hit it Al!

And it's uncanny how it does look like the GK Valk.

Don't get me wrong but some of her weight must be swifted from the lower back part of her body to the upper front part of her body... asap. If you assemble her with the helmet the absence of boobs makes it not quite so clear that she is a SHE and not a HE.

Well , the chest department stays as it is sorry. We can do other alterations but more "real" aesthetics stays

Well besides making her look like a man what other alterations you are referring to?

AAN wrote:Angelika is getting good.
At the moment I do not really like the whip and the pose itself.
She looks too relaxed, this mini would be well suited for a shopping mall walk, but as a hardened battlefield amazon?

So maybe a bit more action, and a wider stand?

Amazons have boobs, so no she is a relaxed boobless amazon in my eyes. I think I will go cybertronics in the end.

He could easily have been replaced by a drum machine...

Surprise, you can't tell any woman has breasts when they are wearing body armor.






I would prefer not to have BOOBARMOR shaped like giant distended armored melons attached to the front of miniatures.

The old etolis were not so bad though



No giant boobs there.

True, but those are 5' tall plus real people with far more visual clues than will ever be gotten into miniature figures.

I totally agree with you here though.

Something like this maybe more appropriate?


With abdominal armor, of course.

My manish comment was directed more at the face, in the newer pictures on the facebook page it looks better. I don't know if it's actually different or if it's just the angle.

Sorry, but I do not get it. Why do we need so badly boobs in a miniature game?

I mean, I love boobs in real life, but jesus, I see them even in ads for beer, I don't need them on my minis too. I mean do you like being treated always as the typical male target group that salivates in the sight of anything curvy enough to remind of boobs? Do we have to reproduce the stereotype of the so sex-deprived nerds that ask for boobs even on their minis?

I think that Prodos have it right. Female minis, because it makes in-universe sense. Not super-sexified, because it does NOT make sense. They are warriors not some Baywatch rejects.

And to the guy who mentioned Amazons. Mate, do some research. "Amazons" in Ancient Greek means the "Breastless" (α+μαστός). Why? Because they were cutting one of their breast off? And why's that? Because they were warriors and BOOBS get in your way when you fight. Especially HtH.

I don't think anyone is suggesting that, not really. But there does need to be differentiation that is visible on a 30mm figure viewed from 2-3 feet away. Otherwise, why bother? I think we as a community have this debate because of super high-res, super close up pictures on the web. It's easy to see the differences in those. Figures on the tabletop. Not so much.

Wasn't that theory thoroughly debunked? I could be remembering wrong, but I'm pretty sure there was no evidence supporting that beyond ancient stories (tales/fiction type, not eyewitness accounts).
