There's a bunch of new Heavy Gear stuff out... The big news is the new Mounts from Caprice that are very new designs:



All of them are available from Dream Pod 9.

(Kind of an ad... I'm their web guy.)

Can I get some scale pics for these? I see wonderful possibilities for several Mecha games with them...

Here's an image with some of the Gears:



I don't have any of the new Mounts myself, but most Gears (the smaller humanoid Mecha) are in the 1-1.5 inch height range. They're 1/150 scale.

Yeah, I'm familiar with HG. I have an old starter set and a couple minis somewhere around here.

I might pick a few of these up.

Those are completely awesome (and very Metal Gear!)!

When does the Caprica book come out???

You should make sure you post these on the TTGN forums.

The next book is 'Return to Cat's Eye' and should be out by the end of April. it's been pushed back a bit for various reasons... Dream Pod 9 is a pretty small shop so it's tough trying to do a coordinated 'big company' blitz with lots of new minis and the new book all at once.

It looks to be an interesting book. I thin the philosophy seems to be to do more 'update books' than traditional 'codex' books. Maybe more like the bulk of the Warmachine expansions. Anyway, it looks like the new book should have some neat stuff: Lists for the Black Talons (Special forces teams... The closest 40k example would probably be Deathwatch), CEF (Not the gone-native PAK in L&L, but the fully-supplied world-conquerors back for revenge; lots of Hover Tanks, supersoilders, and their own mecha), and Caprice (The bug-walkers above. Optimized for 3d-friendly environments.). Then there's a lot of updates to existing lists, some errata and tweaked rules, and some other fun stuff.

I'm looking forward to it! I may actually order the Dark upgrade pack and Kodiak/Cobra to get ready.

Dream Pod 9 is having a Squad Painting contest, by the way.

Here's a bit more "pro painted" version of one of the new Mounts:


(Most of the painted miniatures shown the book are done by the sculptor, Phil. Mason, who painted this beauty, is DP9's equivalent of the 'Eavy Metal' team and produces some amazing works.)

He's got it up for voting at CMoN: http://www.coolminiornot.com/221535 or you can see more of his work here.
