Need some human/ german shepard hybrids, or even other breeds, like mastiff men, dobermen, wolfhound men, etc. on line with the wolfmen, but dog breeds.

Dog-faced solders.

Odd as it is, I'd rather have dog-men on the Russian side. After all, they're the ones who used the infamous dog bombs. Seems fitting that they'd have anti-tank squads made up of genetically engineered, mass produced dog-man mutants with shoddy anti-tank weapons and maybe some mines strapped onto them for good measure.

I like the way you think. They'd fit right in with the werebears, too.

Not to mention you could have a bit of irony with Russians using German Shepherds for the dog-men. Plus you could have a bit of rivalry between the Russian Dog-Faces and the German Werewolfs.

This game is about zombie nazis, mad scientists and the occult.
You should not expect them to make the dogs normal just for you...

I'd like to chime in and say it would not just be him interested in normal dogs.

Not many on the market right now and most of what is out there is mediocre at best. Good models of normal, large breed dogs would sell quite well, in my opinion.

Looking forward to seeing this KS start.

Where did I expect them to make normal dogs for just little ol me?

At the Grindhouse, we love dogs! And we'd like to see well sculpted dogs (I was tempted by McVey's Bull Terrier sculpt).

But as far as Incursion is concerned, normal dogs are a bit outside our scope.

Now, v-serum mutated dogs, maybe.

And nothing's stoping anyone from painting their blitzhund in shepard colors

West Wind already has several of these in their range

What are the chances of getting a couple of German Shepherds?

Game has always reminded me a bit of the FPS on PS1 (think it was Medal of Honor) on a level that took place in a sewer.

Remember running from a pack of German shepherds.

would love to see a pair of mean rabid looking attack dogs.

Message from Jim:
Here's some more fun Blitzhund art. We should be able to start revealing box covers for Incursion and SNAFU as well as final poster, soon. Also, there is some character art, models being sculpted by Jason Weibe and Pat Keith, and a movie trailer on the way. Stay tuned. It's going to start getting really nuts around here.

I like the wolf.

Will these new figures be fixed pose or multi piece?

I'll give them credit, they're nice sculpts, but they don't look like the dogs they're supposed to represent. Plus they're Germans. I want Russian dogmen!

Actually on topic, can we expect to see robots for either side in Incursion?

HT- single pose

Barzam- actual AI type robots or are you cool with mechanical units controled by brain in jar type?

Both sound good to me.

I like both, but 'Brain In Jar' version eeks out a win for the top spot!

They already have one:

Right, we know!

I thought we were talking about plastic versions for the about to be launched new version of the game through Kickstarter though?

Brains in jars work. Maybe they can pull double duty in Yuggoth if they're nicely molded!

Edit- and if we can get a plethora of plastic ones, even better! It'll be interesting to see if the Germans have devised new types of machines to put said brains in!

Right, I was making the assumption that all of the original figures were going to be recast/resculpted for the kickstarter before we saw any new figures.

rwwin got it, I was referring to the drohnes

They have a brain in the jar ?

I need to get back in on this action, its looking like I missed some really cool stuff somewhere along the way.

One thing I would forward to would be the extended "Von X" medical team.

I know we might get Herr Dokter, but what of his head nurse , the overweight but oh so caring Blondi and seeing we are in pulp cliche land his own faithful hunchback assistant named Eric (he changed his name to avoid confusion with all the other EEEgors).

Joking, seeing the Germans may get powered armour , I hope the Brits get the same perhaps to be used in a series of earlier scenarios depicting the failed attempt to subdue Gib.

That brain in a jar is pretty darn sweet. Makes me think of the Whisperer in the Darkness... except for the mechanical flying robot part of it. Cool either way.

Its possible they could adapt the British Steel units from SOTR.

I hope they do that!

I'm okay with that.

Actual box art

Aww, I was hoping the gorilla was going to make it on the cover.
