Post by: Axebreaker on 09 July 2010, 12:19:47 PM
If it hasn't already been posted,I thought I'd mention it.They are expensive,but are simply the best 28mm Victorian sci-fi mini's I've seen.When I've saved a few pennies I'll pick some up! :-* :-* :-* :-*

Seems these are about to be released in the U.K on this site:

Really want to know whether these will be in metal or resin. Some of the models look a little precarious for resin..such as the flamethrower end for the deep sea diver. If they do go to metals then I hope they can keep most of that quality. Fabulous figures and quite a refreshing approach to the subject. I think that between these and the SMOG stuff lies some of the best inspiration out there for gaming VSF.

Eventually, I might get a few of the resins, anyway.... depends much on my actual financial situation when the mortgage starts to be due.... I really have no clue as to how he combined effect of tax deduction (for interest), the real estate tax, and my recent salary raise will influence my available income (and I have a master degree in economics, go figure...  lol)....   o_o

I've got a couple of the resin Steampunk figures and they are stunning. After 195 years of wargaming they are the first resin figures I've bought and I'm scared to handle them in case I drop 'em, especially after what I paid for them  ;). I'm probably just being over cautious but would prefer good old metal.

I find the following pictures of Ratnik 28mm Napoleonic on the web. I don’t think they would mind the extra publicity… anyhow they look like excellent figures for a game of Sharp Practice, eh?

Ahh, if I had unlimited money, I'd be completely broke, as these guys, Empress, Ironclad, Westwind and Artizan would be able to charm it off me in a flash... but then I would field the most insanely huge and devastating VSF the world could ever imagine, hahahahahaha!

(Orc wanders of cackling insanely to himself).

Yes anyway, they're lovely, aren't they?

Since Miniaturicum don't currently have the Ratnik minis listed at all, are there any other stockists within the EU?
