These are the new figures coming with announced game THE ADVENTURERS by AEG and DUST GAMES, to be released at GenCon this fall. Yes, they are cartoony, but I like them ...  :-*

I like them too. Not quite as cartoony as the original artwork. I hope they do not make the game too expensive as I would quite like a set of these. They look like they may be a little tall to mix as well but are good enough as stand alones for me.

 :o Size isn't everything, what a helmet. The German and the Brit would be worthy of my lead mountain.

very nice. I'll have to look out for that game.

@jimbibbly  I'm probably wrong but they look a bit too good to be prepaints. If they are it's going to be expensive - again I could be wrong.

That German is going on the buy list. An excellent evil scientist for VSF yarns.

Certainly "interesting" looking minis!

I will keep a look out for the release.

BTW: The site states 25mm so scale may not be a huge problem......

...if you don't mine the slender, perhaps out of scale, hips and Village People attire.

You're probably right, it's just they seem like pre-paints, if you know what I mean.

cheers

Seems like a mob perfect for a 2nd Disney "Atlantis" film.

International in flavor, with a sampling of independent ladies, and dashing Gents.

The location is leaked, and a new crew of adventurers goes after the "Lost Empire" once more.

The uniform top of the girl with the flashlight (torch) in her hand is rather impractical... but if I was leading her team I'd have to say running would be the primary means of travel.  ;)

Still waiting to see the Mayan princess sculpt. Really hopeful on that one.

This was released on the 15th apparently. Anybody had chance to see it yet?

$50 in the online store which for a game with 12 minis does'nt sound too bad even to a tight wad like myself.

I think Leisure Games carry AEG games so hopefully they will be getting it in????

I REALLY like them! 

And if they are 'pre-paints', those are the best ones I have seen yet! :o

Thought Hammer had the game on sale....  $35 I believe...

yep, that's true... it should be fantastic to have some TF2 characters as minis...  :-* :-* :-*

Ooh, I had forgot about this. Has any body bit the bullet and bought it yet? Must say I am really tempted.

the paintjob is the usual showcase paintjob for photos, that nearly all companies do for their games.

So you didn't know even if the miniatures come prepainted how the turn out,
hence we need an in hand evaluation. (maybe someone has bought one right now ?)

There are some tantalising 'glancing' shots of the Mayan Princess but not a proper one.....  >:(

Post by: Sangennaru on 07 December 2009, 11:26:46 PM
mmm the unpainted version didn't look so great... maybe, as sometimes happens, the painter was so good to turn mediocre minis in great one! :(
I'm not very convinced on the quality, right now... I have to see them painted by someone... else!

I don't think they look like 28 mm.
Hard to tell from the pictures, no points of reference to compare against.
But if they are they look very, very tall and slim.
Not sure I like them.

I think they are a little TOO different to what I'm used to in minis. Don't see them fitting in with anything really.
