Title: Crooked Dice: Chronal Commandos
Post by: uti long smile on 14 October 2014, 08:17:40 PM: We've sneaked this picture of next month's releases past the clerks at the Ministry of Time. Five Chronal Commandos sculpted by the very talented Ernst Veingart.

Post by: Dr Mathias on 14 October 2014, 10:26:13 PM: Those look really nice. Forgive me for asking, but are they 'Not' versions of some existing IP?

I can use them regardless!

Post by: Elk101 on 14 October 2014, 10:49:36 PM: Nice. They look a bit like they might guard the city of some time related nobility?

Post by: Archie on 14 October 2014, 11:24:00 PM: I need another clue ...

and while we are at it ... what are the Timelift figures a homage to? Its been bugging me for ages.

Post by: Ajsalium on 14 October 2014, 11:27:07 PM: It took me a while to figure these out... But I think Doctor Who fans are going to enjoy them. Specially those that want to play the Time War.

Dear Santa,
I've seen something I would like for Christmas......

I think Santa is going to be visiting Crooked Dice HQ for a few people's gifts this year!!

Lovely stuff! :-* :-* :-* :-*

I always wanted to do a 2000AD project and I think they would fit in as some sort of support for the Judges!

Edit:fecking spellcheck!!

Post by: mcfonz on 15 October 2014, 10:09:15 PM: Really like the officer. Will these have a separate head system like some of your other miniatures?

And will the officer be available separately?
Title: Re: Crooked Dice: Chronal Commandos
Post by: Ajsalium on 15 October 2014, 10:27:16 PM: The officer has a strong Rogue Trader vibe to him. Selling him separately may be a wise choice.

Almost all our figures are available individually as well as in the slightly cheaper deal. These will be too.

These are one piece, so have integrated heads, although the bazooka guy and one rifleman have separate heads to ensure a clean cast.

Post by: Commander Vyper on 16 October 2014, 03:28:33 PM: Ernst Veingart: will be available separately as well i take it?

I feel a Nort Kommandant conversion coming on.... ;)
