The Facebook Live presentation has come and gone and can be watched on Modiphius's Facebook page. Here's a the interesting stills with new stuff (in patented Blurvision 2000! )

Mirelurk Queen!

Like the terrain - but the proof will be in the pudding actual production minis, and not in the renders!

The middle set of terrain looks to be on bases so objectives perhaps?

Yes, I believe they are objective markers.

Also bringing over the scale picture from the previous page:

Am I just missing why that 'scale comparison' is supposed to be helpful?

I would guess they're working from the assumption that you would be using these new Fallout minis with any other Fallout-style minis you already have or might want to get, hence comparing them with those models. A scale shot with, say, a GW Space Marine would likely be of little use in such an example since, presumably, you won't be using Space Marines alongside Fallout minis.

Of course, that misses the basic point that a scale shot would be to give many of us an idea of the size of the models, and for that specific purpose it would be better to compare with more common models like Space Marines.

just to say guys, that scale shot is from a fan, not us.

Once I’m back from Essen (and likely Crisis too) i’ll sort decent comparison shots.

Note, that’s a demo figure too, painted (by me) quickly, to survive the rigours of many demos over the coming months. The studio Brotherhood are in hand, you might have seen some shots of them, alongside the Star Trek figures floating around, but if not, expect them after this con rush dies down.

If I had to guess I'd say that's spot on.

I can understand the choice. If you have an existing collection for Fallout, you probably have that guy - it's the got to choice for Vault Dwellers. I can say for certain that I get a lot of use out of the picture.

To be honest, even if you put a Marine next to the BoS guy, what would that really tell you? Modiphius's models are on the realistic end of the scale while GW's are grotesquely heroic. Yeah, you might get an idea how big they are, but personally if I see models with such clashing styles, it distracts from the size comparison because they look off next to each other. But that may just be me.

Of course other than possibly not owning any Marines, I guess nothing would have stopped that poster from putting the BoS guy between a Marine and that Vault Dweller to satisfy more people. Eh, what can you do? At the end of the day it's at least a close-up of a demo model. Could be worse.

Nice.

Well I'm not 100% sure what the gun is but I like that x-01 render and the head being loose is perfect for conversion.

Pretty sure it's a Gauss Rifle with the Suppressor/barrel extension. That's the only rifle-type weapon of that size I can think of in FO4.

What figure is the Vault Dweller in the comparison pic? I don't recognize it offhand.

Looks like a laser rifle with the marksman stock and advanced long barrel but splitter tip. Gauss rifle suppressor is huge.

Phew back from Essen, just!

Yes the small round terrain pieces are part of a big set of objectives on 30mm bases - each one with some kind of cool tip to Fallout content. We'll show off more of them and high res soon

I have brought special Image with me from SPIEL17 that should help you guys to get absolutly clearance about the physical Scale of the Miniatures in Reality and how nice they fit in any existing Range you may have collected already!
And its a very nice Macroshot to see how amazing detailed the models are.
THE OFFICIAL MODEL IS THE RIGHT ONE! Left is another manufacturer for Scale comparison!

Man the details on the official model.

im stoked.

Sad my order number got bumped for 38k to 40k :(

The Vault Dweller in the pic is a model from Brother Vinni. It's about the same size as a 40k human such as a guardsman. Proportioned better though.

It's great, isn't it?

I'm really looking forward to getting mine. Next year can't come soon enough.

Thank you!

I only have Vinni power armor and robot models, so I'm not sure if his power armor models are bigger or the same size as that Vault Dweller.

Guess I'm stuck waiting for the Mophidius scale pic.

The Vault Dweller is almost the exact same height as the walking Enclave soldier with plasma rifle (not accounting for hair of antennae or helmet top).

Due to the pose, the Vault Dweller is 1-2mm taller than than the T-45 with laser rifle.

Hope that helps.

It does, actually! Thank you!

Wow, that's quite a bit taller than the WGF survivors and other various 28mm stuff I have squirreled away. What other lines are about the same size?

I think we'd better take discussion of other miniature lines to the general Fallout thread:

https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/735065.page

I don't have a lot of time but I'll try to post a list of my go-to lines and some thoughts in the next couple of days. One question, though. Same size as the Wargames Factory/other 28mm models, or did you mean the Brother Vinni Vault Dweller?

Thanks for referencing the other thread Geifer - yes that was partly why it started it, so people could post things about other miniature lines and Fallout discussion generally without going OT in the Mordiphius thread.

I'm just trying to get a better idea of the scale of the FWW minis, as I don't think I have any in this scale at the moment.

Can anyone extrapolate if the Mophidius stuff is close to Zombicide scale from this?

Man, Mophidius really needs to get us that scale comparison pic with other manufacturer's stuff. The height chart they posted earlier did not help me at all.

Beast of war demo of the game at Essen

Here is a scale shot from Crisis this weekend.

We have taken scale shots, but it’s always tricky when featuring other companies minis for promotional reasons, so we decided to play safe.

However, this one was taken by a fan, so should be safe to share.

I can take more shots against out AC:Skrimish minis which are on 30mm rolled shoulder bases if that’s helps people too?

Hadn't appreciated the power armor was so big, very cool

That pick really helps - I didn't realize the power armor was so huge! Taller than a GW nuMarine!

What I'm really aching for is a shot of a non-power armor human next to some true 28's, like Warlord Bolt Action or Project Z stuff, or maybe some Mantic models. I switched over to that scale years ago, and I just don't have any 32mm minis to use as an estimate.

Any chance we could get a level picture of the two BoS soldiers side by side? The power armored one looks quite tall, but it's hard to tell with them so far apart.

I think what we're getting at here is the only way we can be completely sure, is for JonWebb to send each of us a free Power Armour BoS guy as a tester/review copy miniature.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Let me get cracking on that guys :p I'm sure the boss won't mind me sending a few out.

In all seriousness, we are going to be sending some models out to various reviews and the like in the near future, so if you have a blog/show that you think might work to help us promote the game (looking for reasonable viewer numbers, as much as I'd like to be the Oprah of T-60 suits) then drop me a PM and I will investigate.

I'll try to get some side by side shots today, but currently buried in the painting desk doing the guides for the core book... while also reviewing painters to send stuff out for, for the studio shots.

On that note, I have more actual models in hand, so expect to see some new faces soon, likely starting with the Super Mutant with hammer and working from there.

Its nice to come back from two weekends of shows and find new toys waiting for you right?
