Ah well, maybe next month-ish.

actually it wasn't my intention referencing to the DC, just a cool name, but maybe you're right,

Aqua Scout could be an alternative.

Sorry to tell that over and over again but as usual, it's up to the sales. We are thinking about making helmet versions of the Marines and other cool military units. But first we have to sell enough of these.

Sure.

Post by: mweaver on March 22, 2012, 09:49:11 PM: That's a nice bunch o'miniatures, no mistake. Even though we are only playing fantasy games at the moment, I expect my next order will have to include those marines.

Just wanted to say that my order arrived today and I am very pleased by the minis. Awesome job. On all of them. Gotta say though, that my favorites are the German Marines ... can't help myself there.
Anyway, keep up the great work! :)

Just got my LAM german marines today, and they are only slightly taller than Eureka's modern germans, but are very similarly proportioned, I think they are a really good match :)

Post by: Dr Mathias on April 04, 2012, 04:57:57 PM: Received my order today, really nice figures. I have to say the Aqua Scout is spot on. I've been planning starting a Waterworld project in 28mm for about four years and was very pleased with this set :)
Title: Re: LAM Release - Marines, Frogmen, Alpha Team, Fishermen, Heads
Post by: Christian on May 07, 2012, 01:51:28 PM: The German Marines/Frogmen size up perfectly to Eureka's newer US Infantry and Afghans... the discrepancies within the range itself is negligible.

Would I be able to get away with using the German Marines as US Delta or some other elite force? Or is there anything that makes them specifically German Marines?

I think you could pass them off as some other special forces, having picked up fancy German gear.

UNIT in recent Doctor Who and the USAF in Stargate SG1/Universe all use that G36 rifle. So it's popular with fictional elite forces at least. :)

Post by: NickNascati on May 07, 2012, 03:27:12 PM: The Alpha Team look rather beefier than the German Marines. I thought it might be the equipment, but the faces themselves look larger. I'd assume that the Alpha guys are a match for the rest of the PA figures.
