Title: Skeletal robots by Forlorn Hope Games - a review
Post by: manatic on 12 February 2013, 06:07:58 PM
Figured this might interest some of you. I just published a review of the not-Terminators by Forlorn Hope Games. The new ones, not the Copplestone stuff.

Or if you'd prefer not to fall for my blog pimpage or want a tl;dr version:

They're not excellent, but a good buy nevertheless.

These are the bots in question:

Got them when they were released - detail is a little soft but for the price they are a good match and you can't have too many of these beauties....

Keep meaning to get these for kit bashing my deus ex augmented gangers. Not keen on the poses for terminators but not bad.

Yeah, they look like they'd make fantastic cyborg conversion bits.

They look a bit too human though.  The poses (the flamethrower guy is slightly hunched over as if carrying a heavy load and fatigued etc.) are just too human for my likes.  Decent sculpts though.

After having just recently picked up the Copplestone Terminator robots, I'd say that I would pass on these. As mentioned, they look too human in their poses to give me the feel I'd want.

Never really thought of it like that, except for the one kneeling Terminator. These might work really well if you covered the up in part with flesh and clothes and made them somewhat battered infiltrator units. What do you think?
