In quality terms I found them easier to put together than Sarissa, not as good as 4Ground which are absolute quality kits across their range. Haven't got any of the Warmill stuff yet so couldn't comment on that, although heard that their's is very good as well.
I was more satisfied with the warsenal buildings. The cum garage, Comanche bunker, and catwalks were much more interesting projects than blocky apartment buildings
The what garage?
It was a good time, you really had to be there.

They look pretty good. They have that almost high-tech look to them by today's IRL standards, but lower tech than other factions. The bike's bulky engine is especially satisfying.
Dismounted Maverick is an awesome bonus that's relevant to the starter yet not essential.
Best of all, nothing looks super-cheesy.
Happy 'Murika and Freedom Day, y'all!

No not at all cheesy, they look fantastic. That Bike has a great retro thing going for it. I suppose we get better photos soon enough, but, these will do for now. Just had to post something that was not a part of the feeding frenzy about the Age of Sigmar.
My disinterest in getting a USAriadna force evaporated instantly when I saw this. Well done CB. I guess the book has all the sectorial information too, so nobody needs to wait for HSN3.
I think pre-orders are supposed to start 6 July? Wondering what it will cost.

I really like the Antipode. Not sure on the Marauder, and the Dog Warrior pose is awful, but the rest is okay. Not as good as I was expecting though.

The look of the miniatures is generally fine, but the poses are really uninspired for the most part. Either at ease or general gun pointing. Only the Foxtrot changes it up with being at ease and speaking into a walkie-talkie.
The tall standing Devil Dog... I don't know what's up with his head, but it just doesn't look right. It might be the bulky collar around his head which makes his head look small. The other one is fine. I am guessing one of them is a Dog Warrior and the other an Antipodes, and they work as a combined unit, with the Dog Warrior probably being the controller of the Antipodes.
The bike is good (not super futuristic, thank goodness), but a bit lower to the ground than I would like. I am thinking a razor saw could improve that a fair bit. The bike itself looks a fair bit heavier than something you'd want to go offroad with, so I am guessing it's just more of a highway patrol unit.
Why do the two male grunts get heavy amounts of body armour, and the female gets a slightly sexy pose and what looks to be a sweater with a backpack strap under her boobs? Sigh.
Things which are good about this - LONG SLEEVES! Thank goodness they are finally putting long sleeves back on the Ariadna guys. Was getting annoyed with the increasing amount of bicep bulge which was being sculpted onto even their most regular dudes.
Also the fact that they seem to be toning down the size of the guns, which is great. Still cheesed at the increase in scale of the miniatures though, as these dudes are going to look much larger by comparison.
Was there no individual photo of the Foxtrot Ranger? Hrmmm.
For me, I can't decide whether or not I will pick these up. They do fit in with the current aesthetic, but not with the existing miniatures I already own. And I own pretty much all of them except for some sculpts I think are dingo-ugly (the old Minute Man sculpt for example). And I don't really want to have a force of which looks weird side by side, and I am dead set against buying newer models to replace perfectly fine ones I already have. A lot of these are new units though, so there's that. But I also have access to good proxy miniatures, so I am not hurting for choice.
A nice release though, and glad to see them all come out at the one time as an army deal. Good on CB for putting something like this together.

Well dammit CB, I'm gonna have to order this, aren't I? I don't see a single thing in there that I don't like. I love that the Dog Warrior does indeed have heavy armor. I love that the Devil Dogs are a literal K9 team. I love that the Minutemen don't look stupid anymore. I love that these look like proper soldiers. And I love that there's not a single cowboy hat or six shooter to be seen.

Since it looks more like a high-tech Colt .44 than an old-timey western six-shooter, I'm not going to count it.

Is it me or do the female grunt and the unmounted maverick share the same body, there's a few slight differences the hair and collar.
Looks like a great set though.

Yeah, dunno when I'll get it, but I think I probably eventually will.
It looks almost just like Icestorm, except 10 models instead of 15 (though the wolf dudes and bike are larger models) so we ought to expect at least a hundred bucks MSRP right?

With all the unpainted Infinity minis I've got, I probably won't buy it for myself but yeah... it's definitely going on my gift wishlist. I think the imperial raider and select x-wing wave 7 will be getting pushed down a couple of pegs...

My birthday list as of the moment are a few pairs of khakis and some new sneakers, so I think I can get away with some more models.
I've got feelers out to see if independent retailers such as Warstore will be able to take preorders on Monday.

You go over to your corner, no more 'Merica for you today!
But seriously. The cowboy hat on the Hardcase is bad enough. Revolvers are fine, but Colt M1911s "futurized" would have been better.

I dunno the werewolf's (sorry not up to date on the whole antipode/dogface/dogwarrior/whatever, anyone care to explain the specifics?) revolver is giving me a very Hellboy vibe and I can't see myself disliking it. I mean, don't some people favor revolvers even in this day and age for the mechanical simplicity (no potential to have a bullet jam coming out of the magazine or whatever). Is foxtrot the guy with the suave utility/fishing hat? I like that guy, especially for his headgear.
