Anyone know anything about these new chunky modern Russians?
http://minionsale.narod.ru/ratnik.html
Cheers.
-
I wrote to them and got a swift response. They're bringing out more very soon so I'm waiting before I order, consequently I didn't get a postage rate from them yet.
More info as I get it.
-
Nice one - thanks for that.
They remind me of Jim Bowen's work at Chiltern a bit. I wonder if they are big and chunky enough to mix with the Chiltern moderns...?
Hmmm.

Hmmm.
Don`t know about Chiltern, as i don`t have any of his models.
But i can provide you with comparison photos of ratnik models with more or less common miniatures brands.
Ratnik stalker (same size as modern russians)

Nice one, thanks for that :)
-
Looks like they sit nice next to Copplestone.
-
Very helpful Nimrod, thank you! :D
I don't see those Stalkers on the site though. Are they OOP? It would be a shame, as that's a really nice miniature.
-
Really nice figures. Would like to get my hands on some of those. :D
Now, if only I spoke Russian....
-
Aha, just seen the other thread. Those near future Russians are excellent. :-*
-
I have all ways been kind of a Russophile myself and I love all of the mins coming out from there recently. dose any one know if they will be updating there site with all of there stalker range soon?
If they did I am sure I could get lots of folks on my end interested in some Post-Apoc gaming.
-
i have to get some of these!
-
£7.00 a pack, £9.00 postage for 4 packs to UK, seems reasonable to me. No sign of new Russians or Chetz just yet, awaiting eta on those at the moment (just emailed a minute ago).
-
Great stuff. Thanks Matakishi, please let us know if there are more of these on the way. :D
Prices seem reasonable.
-
I guess I will have to write them and see if they will ship to the US also.
-
2-3 weeks for the new figures to be available :)

Sweet!

Just been looking at the Prypiat thread and it is saturated with pictures of the Ratnik Stalker post-apocalypse miniatures and now I want them all! Aaargh!

Found on chen-la forums , that Ratnik is about to release two more lines of miniatures in the future.
And some preview of the upcoming miniatures:

Certainly better value than Foundry postage rates....

Just sent off to see if they ship to the US

Thanks Nimrod! Those gangsters are pretty cool.
Any chance of some more photos of your painted Stalker stuff?
-
so yes they do ship to the US :D
-
Any chance of some more photos of your painted Stalker stuff?
I'll do a some more photos in the next few days.
-
Please do - that would be great! Looking forward to them. ;D
-
From correspondence I have had they don't take Paypal (or rather Paypal won't make payments to Russia) they have suggested a transfer system called "Contact-Sys" anyone know anything about this?
-
They take Paypal, I have their account address, would you like it PMed to you?
-
Please could you PM it to me too?
Thanks,
Paul
-

Yes please!
(although it seems odd as I wrote to them and they said they could not take Paypal!)
-
Any new pictures yet Nimrod? ;)
-
Judging from his avatar, it's the same guy who used to run Velard Miniatures (thought his style looked familiar).
I want those landsknechts!
There are also some upcoming dwarves of which I want some of the characters.

More precisely:
the only problem now is how to get payments from the whole world to Russia, cause it's impossible to send monet by Pay Pall system to us. Western Union is very expensive
the only way right now is "Contact":
Contact
now we are trying to solve this payments problems

Any new pictures yet Nimrod? Wink
Finally got some time to take a couple of photos:

And I have a question: How well compatible HLBS 1/48 range of russsian vehicles with standart 28 mm miniatures?
-
Those are great! :o Thanks for posting them!! Looking forward to getting my hands on this range…
-
Oh yes, wonderful Stalker range. I´ll definatly will get me some figs!
-
I need some too ;D
-
If Ratnik found a distributor in Western Europe and/or the USA these would be everywhere! They're lovely sculpts and I can see them getting massively popular.

::)
Bloody nice, hope I can get hold of these
-
Yeah, I know. What, I can't say I like them now? ;)
-
I got a very quick answer from Ratnik. The Stalker Miniatures are devided in three sets of 10, 30 € per Pack. Unfortuatly they´ll be released in two month :'( Now we have to wait...
-
Bugger bring back the cold war and we could get hijm to defect to the West ;D
-
I really want the Napoleonic Dwarves that the sculptor did some time ago. They were beauts...
-

They were. I was, for once, smart enough to order them when they were available (though right now, I have no idea exactly where in the leadpile they are, though it always bothered me that one that was shown in the set of greens wasn't available for purchase yet.
I would love him to do more in that style.
-
I'm mostly interested in the civilian types.
However, if he was to do more french style ones, I could use them as dwarves from the kingdom of Wursteatenburg (wurttemburg) in Flintloque. lol
-
I'm mostly interested in the civilian types.
Well that was the odd thing. The set was made up of all civilians and one hussar, while the one that wasn't in the set was another civilian. This being said, the hussar is great. And the mounted one too.
-
But I already have flintloque hussars that I like.
Wasn't it a cuirassier, not a hussar? Possibly dragoon. I swear it wore a helmet and bore a cuirass opposed to a Shako and Pelisse. ???
-
The mounted model was indeed a dragoon. The foot model was the hussar.
-
Ahh fair enough!
:)

Very nice, but rerelease the dwarves!
-
I really like the 2 new ones here. Do they have an English language web site? I don't read Russian. Or maybe there is a US supplier that will pick these up.

O h thouse gatling rifles look sweet, they have to stop comeing out with thouse guys or I am going to half to order a whole new line of mins that I will take forver to paint lol
Also dosnt help that the guy with top lookes like me when I am wareing my duster....all they need now are some dudes with pith helments
-
Wo these are great, hope they have a UK supplier in the future
-
I still can't wait to get the STALKER/Metro 2033 figures. These new VSF minis have a great look to them as well.
-
This range is turning into a must-have for VSF. Close enough to historical fashion to look "right" yet bizarre and very different. I love the quilted linings of the coats and the facial hair.
-
There a lot of images, or link to images, of very different types of figures in this tread (Fantasy, Futur War, VSF). Yet, I did not saw any figures that I didn’t like. This guy is a really talented sculptor.

Yes, looking at the "greens" they don't appear to be "3-ups", but sculpted at 28mm as they seem to be standing on fizzy-drinks bottle caps.
Unless that Russian writing indicates they are actually on 5 gallon paint containers, of course :?
-
These are gorgeous figures. I wonder if North Star, (as they already distribute for other manufacturers) would pick them up?
-
That would be a smart move if they did, given how popular this guy's style seems to be. I'd throw my money at North Star (or whoever) if they imported these figures. Particularly the Stalker inspired stuff. ;D
-

Oh! That would be cool! As there's no Wargames store anywhere near me, I'm always looking to order from places that have the largest selection of manufacturers possible.
-
Yeah he would be a fool not to expand out...well baring his production capabiliatys and all that.
-
Anyone know anybody at North Star? Maybe if they are not aware of Ratnik, they would like to be?
Worth a try :D
-
They have new picture over here:

Good man! :D
-
So whats the word then?
-
The word is, Nick doesn't chase small companies, they need to contact him. He mentioned a chap in Wales or somewhere asked him and he has done some research, could be problems until he knows about volume of production, trade shipping costs, etc. Might take some of the ranges but not all, concerns over how viable it all is BUT if Ratnik want to get in contact, they can talk.
So, brush off the phrasebook and spread the word. Contact through North Star website, always looking for new opportunities.
-
Cautiously optimistic, then :)

fingers crossed

Wow, these are amazing looking figures. :o They remind me of Jim Bowen's work as well, which is a good thing IMHO.
I'm confused though... are these STALKER and Victorian types actually available NOW for sale? All I see on the Ratnik site are dwarfs and modern Russians. :'(

-
I think they are supposed to be up and runing some time in march

Someone from the Company posted something here:
http://www.frothersunite.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=24074&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=50
"Good day, gentlemen!
I am very glad that you like the figures produced by the studio Ratnik. We have arranged production of fantasy figures and events of the first Chechen war. Modern Russians set and and fantasy figures set, the white metal, cost 7 pounds.
Packing blister. In packing 2-3 modern figures and 1-2 fantasy figures.
Miniatures STALKER are divided into three sets. 10 figures enter into each set. In the third set two miniatures of dead persons are added.
Figures are made in resin. The price of one set 30 pounds.
But at present STALKER sets are not accessible to the order.
We are ready to sell miniatures, but there are problems with payment. PayPal refuses to transfer money to Russia. Under this payment for the advice I can give only WebMoney.
I hope that soon we will solve the issue with the payment and pay will be Visa.
Best regards, Nikolay"

I really like the last 3! I have not seen the show you have said about, but they are very funny! :D
-
The steampunk figures really are great. I dont collect anything in that style/genre so they dont tempt me to purchase, but they really do look like they will be really nice to paint.
The Stalker sets are what interest me. Has anyone ordered any of theser yet? If so then how does the shipping for the three Stalker sets work out?

On frothers they posted that they will soon (I beleive they said March) be able to take paypal because ebay will become available to them.

This was the announcement:
Today we learned the good news. Since March 16, will begin work in Russia Russian Ebay and PayPal will work as in other countries. We will be able to receive payment via PP. It remains to wait.

I love the Russian English. You can practically hear the accent in his words. I picture him confronting an 80s-era James Bond with this news. :)

Sadly Mr Bond you will not be alive to see that glorious day, prep the laser!

I've spoken to the Ratnik guys, we're working out details right now. If all goes well, the minis will be available by http://www.miniaturicum.de end of March or early April.

I hope that. They said, the first steampunk figs will be cast next 1-2 weeks. Btw, they will be resin. Igor (the sculptor) said, lead casting is too expensive in Russia and apart from that he won't be able to cast all the fine details in lead.

Yep, definitely figures to get and then work out what to do with them. They're too nice not to.
I keep checking the Miniaturicum website just in case...

-
These are insanely good....someone send him a work visa and a plane ticket!

Those Treasure Island figs are the dogs b's!

I love 'em, but would never be able to use them in a game :( They would be a splendid present painted up for someone who is a fan of the cartoon though
I'll probably stick to the VSF types, as they have soooooo much potential.
-
All gorgeous sculpts, but its the steampunk ones for me too.
Haven't seen one I don't want yet.
Really looking forward to being able to get this range. ;D
-
Any news of where and when?? :o

The last message I had from Bungle:-
"Company will be Ursa Major Miniatures as soon as I get the website finished.
There will be other stuff too.
Initially its the moderns then dwarfs....but we are hoping to get everything transferred to metal if all goes well."
So, looks like the Steampunk figures will be along some time later.
I'm sure Bungle will post on here when he has any definite news.
-
Well I'm looking forward to them. :)
A set of miniatures based on the characters from Disney's atlantis, but sculpted as if they were real people would be great. I.e. same costumes, but on 'realistic' people.
Atlanteans would be GREAT too. :D
-
uh-oh.... ;D
-
Just finishing reading Metro 2033, so if these come out before the wind changes they're pretty much guaranteed a sale from me...
-
Yeah same here, just started reading Metro 2033 and I am chomping at the bit to get some post apoc russians.
-
Just realizing this guy Igor from Russia has not only gorgeous dwarfs, victorians and SciFi stuff in the pipes but also an absolute incredible medieval/Mortheim range, I have to ask again: ANY news about availability of those miniatures?????? ???
The new range here http://www.frothersunite.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=26056&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 (http://www.frothersunite.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=26056&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0)
-
Wow... just wow :-*
Perfect for Mordheim.
Could use them even more than the Steampunk ones, allthough...
Anybody spending his holidays in russia soon? ;)
-
Nope, but the sculptor seems to be holidaying in Russia!!!! Get a move on!!!! lol
I'm kidding, I bet these masterpieces take flipping ages to do, and rightly so, they are bloody amazing.
-
... Perfect for Mordheim...
Don’t get this fine fellow be in trouble with the "Evil Empire"… Let’s say these figures are for something else… Plague City maybe? ;)
-
Leadheim!
(let's not associate ourselves with those neanderthals from frothers!!!) lol

I just want to know it, the moment they are available to us poor westeners....
I need some incentive to get my Victorian Weird Adventure kicked off....

I'll let you off, you're here and probably one of the ones not quite so loose with their tongue.
The frotherheim board was unbelievable. I just have a hatred for frothers and want to really smack the bejeezus out of most of it's members! :)
-
Well, one have to behave (ohh, beHAVE!) oneself 'round here lol

Aye, we're a much higher class of citizen. A stage up from the gutter that is FU:UK. lol

Yeah, bring a truck.... You might earn yourself the trip, if you can get a discount ;)
Joke aside - is he selling the stuff, just not taking any payment options available to westeners, or is everything still in pre-production??
-

Hei,
I'll send you the main list of what I need, so just pick it up in the local Ratnik-shop lol
;D
-

very good idea!!!
I will be with a group of 20+ of my wife's colleagues, so, we can carry lots !!!!
Anyhow I think they are still not casted, yet. As prof said there will be available by Miniaturicum at some later (???) stage!

lol, most of, not all of. Just the ones who think bad minis shouldn't be released as if it's going to be forced down their throat to buy it! lol They forget people work hard on sculpts usually, regardless of quality.

Thanks.
But the price isn't it very high? !@ 12 EURO each?
-
Thanks.

Not each model (if you are speaking about steampunk ones) two models in blister for 11-12 euros. Which is not cheap i must agree, but personally I`m just don`t understand how ratnik`s prices are formed.
In case of chechen wars you get 3 models for price less then 10$. But in steampunk range there is 2 models for 15$.
Perhaps this is something to do with the prices of production of metal and resin minis.

Do you happen to know if you get 2 deep sea divers in pack Steam 7?
I'll probably wait for Bungle to sort things out in the UK, see if competition drives the price down, but I am sorely tempted that's for sure. :)

Can`t tell right now. As I`m not recieved him yet. I have only first 4 blisters of this range. But I think there is one model in blister. As i read on russian sculpting forum, that he is quite big model.
-
Prices should be "reasonable" from me.
Very soon I hope.
I have already been asked about supplying a stockist in the US with metal cast of the first two ranges Chechens and Dwarfs.
The other figures I hope to get and pay for moulding etc from any profits. I doubt I will make any money from this venture, as Igor is sculpting new figures and ranges pretty fast, and my share of anything made by me will go into new moulds.
But heres hoping sales are good enough to fund new moulds and get new ranges out.
-

I'm sure you will - at some point you 'break even' and start having a marginal profit, which will increase as the range grows, even with the cost of new molds (I know they are expensive, but still).
-
Well covering costs is important...my hobby budget is only so big ;)
-
I was tempted to jump on the "truck to russia"-bandwagon, but I think I'll wait until you get them to help cover those costs. :)
-
If you want resin figures, buy in Moscow.
If you would prefer the newer stuff in metal.... please wait a bit. ;)

Those two are, hands down, my favourite models so far – especially the one in the padded jacket with the cigar – he's like a Soviet John "Hannibal" Smith. Presumably these are from the not-S.T.A.L.K.E.R line; good to see some without the gasmasks etc. – make more versatile 'survivors' for a range of games. Despite having just invested heavily in 15mm post-apocalyptic figures, these are a must-buy!

Wrote it from memory - not even sure if it's quite correct - but something like that.
I can also write 'How do you do' in Gaelic :D
But I digress - these minis MUST be made available this side of the vendor iron curtain! We demand it!
-
:o :-*
first time I have seen these.

As Igor said, minis are from two new ranges.
First one (kgb man) will be pulp 1950-1970 spy fiction. With spys, mercenaries, 007, kgb and other such stuff.
Second range wil be named "Adenturers" . Something like russian version of Indiana Jones. :)
-
Two new ranges? Interesting. Still, if they have Kalashnikovs, I know what I'm using them for!

I´m waiting since january now. Only thing that happened is the prise-rise. Sad. The Miniatures are still beauties.

okay, we managed to have a few packs available.

Beautifull, but to expensive. They should re-calculate their prizes...
-
They are still nice, though... I'm not too fond of resin minis (I simply don't like the material), so I am definitely going to pass on the resin version. Besides that, I should probably be saving money for renovating the house we're buying ::)
-
Will there be metal version then?
-
Aaaarghh.... my resolve will fail me any day soon.... o_o
After seeing Pappa Midnight's zombie hunter conversions, I'm literally craving top hats..... ;D
-
Great minds Argonor I went straight to Ratnik threads here and on other forums to gleen when the metal will be up for sale :D
-
Heh... given that I have a hat fetich, I'll probably be buying a 'live' victorian top hat, too....
My current collection includes:
1 grey fedora (light grey, dark grey band)
1 black fedora (black band)
1 brown Indy fedora 'replica' (alas, not nice for wearing, too stiff)
1 tall khaki pith helmet (replica, but nice!)
Various 'costume' head gear, including a fez, a white kepi (with neck cloth), several 'gangster' hats and 1920's women's hats/headgears... and some pirate stuff)
Erm... back on topic....
As said earlier, I'm not too fond of resin (the fact that you have to wear a mask when working with it does not help). I love the minis, though, and my only real excuse not to order a couple right away is that I have to transfer DKK 55,000.00 to my wife's bank in a couple of minutes (down payment for our soon to be new home!!).
