Wow, I thought it was a just a stereotype, but obviously people actually say y'all in reference to one individual.

HAHA...yep thats right...at least in Texas if you are talking to a group of people you would refer to them as "all ya'lls"  ...just typing that makes my 7th grade English teacher roll over in her grave!

These are smashing figures BTW I would really like to see the other sculpts!

Cheers....all ya'lls... :)

I went to Grad school at Texas A&M...where it was hot and humid and after 3 years quickly fled to Vermont where its cold...and dry... :)  I need to find a happy middle ground!

Cheers,

I always wonder why someone in the desert would wear a gas mask?

Eever read Rogue Trooper ?
2 nations fight over a resourceful planet they nuked the hell out.
desert terrain + poisonous atmosphere

Not my type of mini, but nevertheless a very nice sculpt  :)

I always wonder why someone in the desert would wear a gas mask? I can understand covering your nose and mouth, and wearing goggles, but a gas mask seems like overkill. Of course that's just my opinion. It's a spiffy looking model though.

In case of... gas...?

Yeah I once stayed on target but that gun range has gone now... it's all houses. ;D

Lovely work from the OP... surely there's some more photos now.

Sorry to dredge up an old topic, but I thought several people would be interested to know this. 

I got impatient and contacted Brigade Games.  They said: "... Remind me next week when we return from Historicon and I will stick them in the store."

Sounds like they are ready, just not listed yet.   :-*

Just to clarify:

y'all = singular
all y'all = plural - though in some regions, "y'alls" is used as the plural form)

As I once told Dawgie, I don't know which is more disturbing: the fact that some of my fellow Staters talk like that or the fact that I actually understand it.  ???

Any chance we could have something like these desert troopers but in 15mm?

Thanks,

As requested, I sent a reminder 2 days ago.  I gave them a bit of extra time to recover from the con.  No response yet, but I'm still failry confident we'll see these up soon.
