don't think you're slipping that one past us...
If you knew the future in detail you could change it, and so it wouldn't be the future.
It wasn't a total secret previously  ;), but it has been formally revealed now by Crooked Dice in their upcoming releases:
--------------
March - MadameDroid, 3x Scuba Diver Frogmen
April - Future Freedom Fighters II (4 models + box), 7th Voyage Rulebook, cards and tokens, Heroes Programme Guide
May - United Radionics - Lancelot Cray, Lionel and the Man in the Lead Lined Suit
June - Saurian Swordswoman and Turkish Manservant
--------------
@Mason:  The bases are from our very own Jimbibblywibbly: 0.5mm thick perspex, circular 25mm diameter.
I was slightly worried the miniatures would keep breaking off the base as they cannot be pinned, but the only repair I have had to make so far was after dropping a based trooper in my mug of tea!

I finally got some of my extras painted up.

First a group of (disco-dancing) Technicians:


Scientists (Black Cat Bases):

A bit shorter than the CD scientists, but bought before the CD ones were produced....

CD Scientists with standard heads:


CD Scientists with headswaps:

Scientist on the left uses the Dr Russell body, but looks OK with a male head, despite the Cuban heels (Arm helpfully obscurring the chest)
Far right is the lab-coated version of Lazarus Darke

More scientists than I'm ever likely to field in a game....

Next should be a bunch of Copplestone security guard minions.  :)

Great additions!

One can never have too many scientists!
Or Mad Doctors come to think of it...


Looking forward to the next batch.

Many thanks for the feedback.  :)

I sort of paint in a Dali(more)-esque manner, but with less talent!  ::)
I lack the consistency of painting that he seems able to acheive.  Some miniatures turn out well while others are a bit of a dogs dinner.  If you look at the trousers on the far left miniature in the bottom 2 photos, the first is subtle whilst the other is much more pronounced.

It definately something that rewards practice, which I desperately need to do, given that I only managed to finish 5 miniatures in the whole of last year (This year has been spent mostly finishing off what I had started previously).

A few more Ainsty buggies now painted up:







Of course I had to paint up 3 droids to go with them:

You are doing a fine job marketing these babies for Ainsty, as I feel a few of those will go down well in future as spaceport conveyances in the Space Opera project.
When I get around to it, that is.

Great stuff. Not much wrong with the painting on these either :)

Many thanks all. The droids came out as well as I could have expected.  The numbers were fiddly but worth it.  I chickened out of painting 01, 02, and 03 in red on the front grilles.

That's a great collection with plenty of opportunities and scenarios.
But, I have to be honest... I prefer the Crooked Dice Apes.
Below is a link to my blog. It's the place where I write uninteresting things about little toy soldiers. I do this because I refuse to grow up and behave like an adult.
