A mate of mine said  today "hay man, saw this on Kickstarted. I've already put £50 in, it's finished but you can order them still"

I replied, "soz mate already have way too many projects"

So he said "no problem, here's some pics..." handed me his IPhone "... Nice aint they, I've for £50 inn"

As soon as I saw them I was jealous that he was getting something I wasn't (I'm the youngest sibling of 2). It appears to be a WW3 style game. Allies (west) Vr Russia in a star ship troupers style future, in 15mm. My jealousy took over...

"Let's add £25 ill chip I. £37.50 and half the lot!"

I'm sure you might think the same! So have a look!

I love the RUSKs in the gas masks, they are on my list for a new 15mm terrorist/super villian army I have in mind, and the Neo brits are going to make good planetary defense forces for my alien invasion games.
I missed the KS as I was pretty skint, but I still plan on getting them as they are great figs!

The British/US (I note you said British, I reckon you ain't American?) remind me of Star Ship troopers. There was a SST game but the models were Pre painted and I wasn't keen. But if you had some bugs at 15mm!

Rules wise FUBAR or FOR? I was also thinking secrets of the third reich?

15mm though.  Not Pendraken's 10mm loveliness...

All scales of Minis are equal in god's eyes....

I don't get the point of having such nice and detailed Concept art and crappy-crap sculpts like these.

They can't be that bad, he did manage to get fully funded on his kickstarter.....

Yeah but that's no indication of quality.

They do look pretty ropey.  Definitely at the 'budget' end of the market in terms of quality i'd say. 

There are some really excellent 15mm figures out there at the moment.

The detail Is a little bit on the 'soft' side....and some of the proportions seem a tad strange, perhaps.
As Lud indicates there are quite a few classier models to choose from in this scale....But also, as Win says, they got funded, so there must be enough folk out there who DO like them.

Depends on what the firm paid for them, I guess.

I'm not a fan of the 'Armies Army' style of sculpting either, would have been great in the '80s, but the bar has raised, just as it has in 10mm.

The links barbarian provided are the current bench mark, great sculpts (especially Khurasan) and a treat to paint.

Cheers,

Not bad, but I got an irrational hate to 15mm...

[Serotonin]

I did too until I pikced up some Splintered Light fantasy figures for my son. Now I am broke!
