We have four savage Simian Soldiers straight from the labs of Professor Andros available in February. Mark Evans has sculpted these horrific hybrids; two armed with rifles, one with baton and one wielding a sinister man-catcher. Each different pose come with a separate head. £11 for the 4 model deal or £3.25 each. Out next week.

Very nice, I shall have to buy someof those. Any plans for mounted ones?
-
So cool! How do they scale up next to puny humans?
-
:o must buy them !!!!! there is no other way !!!
-
Well done Karl.
Those are the best 'Not-Planet-Of-The-Apes' miniatures I've seen so far :)
Very tempted... ::)
Possibly to use against my cave people...
Will there be further simians in the range? Studious chimps and wily orang-utans for instance? :)
Mounted gorillas even? :-*
-
Cheers all!
These are based on our Minion dollies so scale perfectly against all the basic 28mm ranges.
If these sell well then I'm happy to look at adding to the range - but unlikely to be this year I'm afraid.
-
Very nice. I have no need for them at all yet can't help thinking that 'they might come in handy some day!' :D I may have to buy some if only to encourage more apes for next year.
-
BTW - the heads are already available seperately (out last April), so you can always convert other mounted figures if you wanted too.

Richard, this is absolutely right. The Eureka-Stuff is good, but these are great.
-
:o Real beauties in fur !
-
I like your paint jobs, well done!
-
DAMN DIRTY APES!
-
Cesar would be proud - can't wait to get my hands on some of these
-
Any ideas of how they might look size-wise with the Ainsty apes?
-
You did it, you finally did it! You manics....! ;)
Those really are spot on!
Now then there's a War Of the Roses - Plant of the Apes conversion crossover thread in the making, possibly followed by a new film...

Yeah I'm picturing a re-hash of Captain's recent WSS cover featuring a mounted General Urko berating a Gorilla howitzer crew... but iirc Akula's already been working on something like that (http://frothersunite.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=40979) lol
-
lovely sculpts (and paint jobs) - will definitely buy a whole bunch of these but then you knew I'd say that :D
Any ideas of how they might look size-wise with the Ainsty apes?
They should be absolutely fine together (I sold the greens to Andy). The Ainsty ones will be a bit chunkier in build, and the heads are larger than the CD ones, but definitely usable together (and with the Eureka ones too!).

No need to leave LAF to see my little PotA project - the cannon, and general are on page 4 (Perry minis with Crooked Dice heads)

The mind truly boggles...
