Once again, what are these? New thing on page 2
« on: April 11, 2013, 05:12:29 PM »
As some of you might have noticed by now a big part of my miniature hobby is tracking down odd and oop miniatures.

Everytime I see something  cool and I don't know what it is or where to get it I automatically want it.

Constantly trawling through the internet for new goodies I found this picture:



Apparently it should be some To'oks from Defiance Games, but they are not on their page and I have had no luck to track them down anywhere else.

So are these available anywhere? And what are they?

Thanks.

Thanks.

Strangely I was actually looking at Zombie Smiths page too, but I could not find them there. What catagory do I have to look under?

I think I saw them posted before. Now they are on the want list :)

Edit: found them under Storm of Steel now :)

Yeah they did.

When Spartan Games were fledgling, they were looking for sculptors from all over. They even offered me an opportunity to sculpt some ships, glad I never took it up because they ended up going digital, which is beyond me!

They are To'ok and I have a couple of them (the Grymn is to show how big they are):



I was hoping that they were a bit smaller... but alas... they were not :(

They started at Zombiesmith, went to spartan and then back to zombiesmith, their light troopers are rather tasty

Got them the other day. Highly recommended, great figs that deserve much more attention. In size/proportions, they look great next to Em4, Void or Hasslefree figs.
Human sized but hunched so they're smaller.

Can't help but think they would be a good basis for movie Vogons

I have a bunch of these. There was a set where you could get one lightly armoured one with an attack pig on a leash which is sadly OOP now.

Not this one then? http://www.zombiesmith.com/products/took-gangers

Hey guys! We are slowly getting the old ones back out. Molds had to be remade, masters found again, etc, once they came back to Zombiesmith. Lots of new stuff coming soon!

ok, instead of flooding the forum with "what is this?" post I'll try and use this thread once more:

What is this?  :D
