I thought 'I'll tell those Lead Adventurers all about our Sci-Fi weapons', but you're already on it!

It's an experiment, to make some Sci-Fi/Grimdark weapons that fit our Frostgrave Cultists, and we're pretty happy how they've turned out. And of course they fit our Frostgrave Soldiers, Gnolls and Barbarians as well.

I like most of them with the exception of the big pistol leftmost in the picture. I mean that thing has a bore larger than the grenade launcher. What does it shoot, Eggs?

Gnolls in Spaaace was my first though I had after seeing weapons.


Do you have more of them?


How much parts will be in one set of weapons?  Will there be enough guns for 20 minis?

(BTW I too think that egg gun is weakest part of the set.)

Look interesting. Some sort of generic autorifle/slugthrower/AK47 would be good.

My, those look promising.  Lots of kitbashing potential there.

Looks like an energy weapon to me (don't see an obvious magazine) and since there are no real-world examples of zap guns to go by, who's to say they won't have prodigiously huge bores?  If it's (say) a plasma pistol it might need a wide, thick barrel for the magnetic containment field doohickeys that shape and aim the bolt.  Even if it does use physical projectiles, it might be a gyrojet or bolter-style weapon, both of which are firing fairly large miniature rockets - although there the question of how many shots it gets per clip comes up.

Or it could just shoot eggs.

Well played, North Star.  8) A nice set that acknowledges what we want to do with those wonderfully useful plastic minis.

I like the BF-Plasma Egg thrower. Really like the MG, too...  :-*

Television is rather a frightening business. But I get all the relaxation I want from my collection of model soldiers. P. Cushing
