Title: Near future Armoured suits
Post by: Mr Evil on 09 July 2015, 12:42:27 PM
Just a heads up, I have these being launched in the near future, (currently being cast)

height is 42mm

more details on www.evilbearwargames.com (http://www.evilbearwargames.com)

maybe of use to some of you guys, i had them sculpted as a tester, just to see how easy mini production can be and to help discover the pitfalls.

Cool concept, and I like the near future implications of the photo. Now I have to brain storm what to do if the gun jams or the ammo guide line gets snagged or kinked. Still needs the other grunts around for problems like that. And to keep Anti-armor of its back.

So those things look like they are armed with MGs. What will.the support hardsuits be armed with?
Title: Re: Near future Armoured suits
Post by: Mr Evil on 10 July 2015, 06:38:41 PM
Hi

yes brush deamon painted these :)

as for the small shield, it only on the weapon support arm the idea is the shield covers exposed areas around the torso from incoming fire while its attacking, and adds balance to the suit for weight distribution, if you look there is more weight of armour on the left hand side, as that is the side that will face enemy in combat, and also counteracts the weapons weight.

The Weapon is a 7.62 x 51mm belt-fed general purpose machine gun which can be used as a light weapon and in a sustained fire (SF) role

In many ways this is the support unit for infantry fighting in areas to small for tanks and armored vehicles to get into, infantry are used in support of these suits.

There are other leg posses designed and weapon fits, and a recon version that is open topped to give the pilot a better view at a loss in protection.

In addition a heavy version is planned with a chain gun, and heavier armored plates, just in case the suits come across other suits, and fancy a tactical advantage.

extra weapon fits are twin barreled assault rifles, 2 shot anti tank rockets, automatic shotgun, riot shield, battering ram with claw (think fire and rescue).. and i may have missed a few :) these will roll out as fast as i can financially achieve and caster allow.

the spare hand on the left can be used to open doors or operate equipment or help un jam a weapon, in this picture one of the suits is holding a pistol rather than supporting the gun.

May I suggest a automatic grenade launcher and or maybe an anti-meteral rifle/gun version
 And in the future a rail gun and laser option.

Those look great!  I love the idea of playing a "near future" military game, but I have not been able to find any 28/30mm solider miniatures that don't look too "Sci-fi" for my tastes.
Title: Re: Near future Armoured suits
Post by: Mr Evil on 11 July 2015, 09:28:19 AM
cheers

As regards anti material rifle, currently none are in service with any armed forces as far as I'm aware, these suits are working on the idea what could be produced with the tek we have now. If such weapons do become available then yes i will have some sculpted.

Automatic grenade launcher is a big beast, much like a HMG probably to big for these suits, and as such these weapons are used at a distance probably best used from the back of a fast moving vehicle.

With trying to keep these suits more hard scifi than space marine or starship trooper they are generally being limited to weapons a normal person could carry at a push.

The suits are for supporting infantry operations and not to replace infantry.

With all that said, the arms are separate and behind the gun it is set on a ring so with a small amount of modeling skill you can effectively place any weapon you like how you like.

I'm a great fan of conversions and free thinking, I've spent years trying to convert minis to what i want, and that opportunity is i hope going to be a driving force in any minis i have produced.

Anti-material rifle is just code for large (normally .50 caliber and bigger) rifles.  So, yeah, many forces are using them.  They were given this name because of their proximity to the 14.5-20mm anti-tank rifles from WW2, and because people wanted to disassociate the idea that we're shooting people with .50 caliber "sniper" rifles.  So they became anti-material rifles.  Ie. "Oh, we use them to shoot technicals and light vehicles...and people if we need to".

Title: Re: Near future Armoured suits
Post by: commissarmoody on 11 July 2015, 10:46:47 PM
Yep what Elbows said, The Scout platoon used them when I was in.
What's the load carrying capacity for those armored suits then? See what kind of limit we have to work with then.

And and its still most likely way over the being at 600Lb but we do have squad portable Lasers now. ::)

http://nextbigfuture.com/2015/07/squad-level-large-wheeled-robot-robot.html

And don't get me wrong, I really like what you guys are working on. Just seeing how far we can push it. Like the Laser in the article honestly would work better mounted in a truck or as a squad perimeter/air defense unit.
And I personally would have loved a big old suit of armor when I was a 240B gunner.

Post by: Elbows on 12 July 2015, 01:07:05 AM
I got the vision of stuff like this being combat capable for about 1 hour max...delivered by tracked transport to special locations like urban combat zones, or radiation/chemical-heavy areas.  Basically a very limited scope, or supplied by a couple of tracks supply vehicles with fuel/charging/munitions and mechanics.

Title: Re: Near future Armoured suits
Post by: commissarmoody on 12 July 2015, 01:53:43 AM
Hell most things are not combat effective after they have been beat up for a bit. We destroyed are Humvee's on a fairly regular bases. Things are always in the shop. The walking robot mule thing is loud as hell too, you can hear its motor coming a great ways off, especial in the woods with out any other sound. But I am guessing in the future they will figure out a way to make the batters last longer and to make it quitter.

I see them being used as you say, to do resupply runs for dismount teams, or doing work on the FOB. I can not see them used as any thing more then a mule, for a infantry squad. Doing the Bean's and bullets work. toss your rucks, extra ammo and mortar tubs on it. And when you get to what ever phase line you have for your action. unload ruck up and walk the rest of the way in.
I do not think the design team is invising them being sent into a direct fire fight. no armor. But being used as a mobile power nod seems like a good idea to me. Move the CP up the hill with out having to disconnect the radios from the generator sort of thing. Or to recharge all the tech they keep saddling the infantry with.
Could also be good for your CCP, a lot easer to move wounded on that, then on your back.

^This was always the only way I saw mecha ever happening.  As much as I love Robotech and Battletech, a humanoid shape doesn't make sense unless you need to do some heavy labor, or you're landing on a inhospitable planet with questionable topography.

A low, sleek tank would always be preferable.  So in my head I pictured space recovery mecha, and exploration or labor mecha...then being abused by rebels or freedom fighters, etc.  But genuine walking mecha (short of the transforming type which make sense given the Robotech line) simply don't make any tactical/strategic sense.

I think we could well see something like Cameron's loader from ALIENS before we see anything with an actual gun on it.  Doesn't mean it ain't cool as hell to think about though.  :D
Title: Re: Near future Armoured suits
Post by: Mr Evil on 14 July 2015, 01:35:49 PM
Cheers guys

first up sorry for not replying sooner, both my pc and mac went down at the weekend :/ so replaced the pc and reinstalled the Mac yay..so catching up now :)

1: when are they available ? well they first of the stock arrived today, and i hope to order the blister packs tonight, percieved launch is 1st of August, i may release a few earlier to test the shopping cart function on the website, if so i will post here and on my games facebook page.

2: operationg time, i would agree with what was said, an hour to 2 hours is probably what you are looking at, i invisioned them being deployed from the back of a british army coyote for example or a truck, cant see them fitting in an APC.

3: weaposn, there is a hevier version on the design slate, in osc infantry can carry upto what the game calls S class weapons, a 50cal is in the scope of H class, wich is one class up, one of the game exspansions allows servos wich will allow your infantryman to carry 1 class highter, so for that a suit will be made with more armour and a bigger gun, Im being very vague on this as its no point going into to much detail about a rule set not launched yet. but plan is for the heavier suit to carry a 50 cal / Mini gun or auromatic grenade launcher for example, basicly anything infantry can operated if mounted on some form of platform.

a good way of looking at the suit fully enclosed armour, balancing power requirments, weight is more devoted to the armour and ammo than the weapon. it has a limited arc of vision, so requires infantry to spot and keep eyes open to help it along its way, brilliant for storming built up areas, but certainly is no ninja.

Hope that helps

Post by: commissarmoody on 14 July 2015, 08:58:43 PM
Nice, so for my US striker or Airborne infantry I will keep them in the HQ platoon to be used at the Co's discretion.
I like what I am hearing so far and am looking forward to seeing what else you produce.
OK last spoiler question for now at least, do you think will make some suits with other nations in mind? As say Russian or Chinese one's ?
I am just guessing these things will be NATO standard is all.
Title: Re: Near future Armoured suits
Post by: Mr Evil on 14 July 2015, 09:18:54 PM
Currently the idea is these are mass produced in a country i have not decided yet, probably india or china, its a colaberation between europe, america and japan in building the original technology with russian buisness financing, so is generaly used all over the world by different nations, in different configerations.

The british probably prefer the lighter version (being designed now) that is basicly an open topped version, it offers good protection has soft spots, the advantage being a larger arc of vision, in osc arc of vission can not only effect shooting but mobility.

there is a comand suit being done, this is a slightly modified version made from what we learnt getting these cast, effectlivy each new set of suit/suits will be slightly different but will fit parts from each so you can eventualy customise to your hearts content. so you could have the recon body with commander legs and the heavy weapon fit from the heavy version of the suit. also palnning on making the recon version available with seperate heads, as the pilot is slightly exsposed, you can then fit a helmet on the pilot that fits your nation, army or alien race if you so wish.

its a slow process as its totaly self financed and im currently avoiding kickstarter as i dont want to pas the 10% on to future customers, or make promises that i cant realisticly factor the hidden costs off, im going to play open handed, no secrets, (apart frm the current modern vehicle projects)

also on the drawing board is a new design of leg, designed for faster mobility, these will probably be done with the recon suits.

and thank you for your interest and kind words.

Cool, kind like how the old Maxim machine guns where used by every one in world War 1, but they where manufactured under license and they paid royalties to the company.

Maybe a suggestion down the line, have some civilian varieties for serch and rescue, and maybe construction, or wear house work.
Title: Re: Near future Armoured suits
Post by: Mr Evil on 15 July 2015, 08:17:11 AM
There is the ability for a civilian version in the second pack in some regards, there is a battering ram come steel cutting claw arm, as used by the emergency services, if you pair that up with the empty arm you have the fire service modle maybe, if you pair it up with the riot sheild arm and pistol arm from the command pack you could have a police hostile entry version.
Title: Re: Near future Armoured suits
Post by: Mr Evil on 16 July 2015, 09:37:41 PM
command suit comming soon.

comes with 2 right arms, new leg pose and a stack of bricks to place the foot on, all heroic like.

weapons are dual scarrs chain fed, and a 2 shot anti tank rocket launcher.

what program are you using for your 3d work?

Hey Scurv, I'm the sculptor.   I've been using a combination of programs.  Sketchup, Z-brush, Blender, even Poser.   This particular render, and most of the sculpting here is sketchup, works well for hard angled chiseled corner stuff.  Has a lot of limitations but has a simplicity that is attractive too for the right project.    Working on my z-brush skills more and more to push into that solely and get past those limitations.  :)
Title: Re: Near future Armoured suits
Post by: Booboo on 31 July 2015, 10:30:09 PM
I found it a lot more intuitive starting out.  Hope you find it likewise
Title: Re: Near future Armoured suits
Post by: Connectamabob on 01 August 2015, 04:11:48 AM
Sketchup IMO is much better than 123D Design. It's much more flexible and intuitive. Also has much better community support and plugin base.

Although TBH I haven't looked at 123D Design in like a year. When I tried it, it kinda seemed like a half-baked attempt to copycat Sketchup, only with a bizarrely unintuitive interface and restrictive toolset. Also the mobile version is DIRE, and whoever made it should have their paycheck rescinded.

Blender is pretty nice if you can get your brain around the initial learning curve (the sheer density of the UI prevents it from being intuitive regardless of layout/operation). It has a lot of features and abilities that Sketchup lacks, which lets you do complex stuff very quickly and easily, BUT there are a few of Sketchup's basic and useful tools that Blender has no analog for. Can do amazing stuff in blender, but still sometimes find myself going "AaaaAAgh! My kingdom for a Sketchup-like draw rectangle tool!".

123D Make, however, is AWESOME, and massively useful for anyone looking to make real word models out of a digital meshes. Build your model in Sketchup (or Blender, ZBrush, Max, whatever), then import into Make to turn it into sections or templates or whatever else you need for the physical construction.

ok not long now just sorting shipping options, you would not believe how dificult the shop is making it to ship to america, once its sorted the sculpts will be live and for sale, how long will this take i dont know, its taken 2 days so far to get half way there  then a test US sale messed it all up :) could be 20 mins could be a week, but im trying as hard as i can, hopefully it will click soon....

in the mean time here is a render of a future suit comming out the following month.

kep in mind its one of me inbetween other jobs..

AA12s! I'm not even a gun sort of guy, I just love how well designed they are from a biomechanics perspective. Someone needs to make sprue of them for 28mm.

Forearms and magazines need more subdivision IMO. Don't want to have chunky poly curves when modelling for printing*. Otherwise lookin' boss, hoss!

*Disregard if these are still WIP. I've just seen too many visibly low poly prints cast as models for sale, so it's become a bugbear for me.

In addition a heavy version is planned with a chain gun, and heavier armored plates, just in case the suits come across other suits, and fancy a tactical advantage.

Proper chain gun, or video game lingo "chain gun"?

Would love if it was the former, as actual chain guns are IMO a perfect fit for a mech-mounted/carried weapon, but you hardly ever see them. Usually these days when geeks say "chain gun" they actually mean Gatling gun, thanks IIRC to Doom or Quake misusing the term back in the day.

im doing some reaserch into weapon sytems and such currently, a lot of thought is going into these, carl has been doing a great job on these and they have been a good learning curve for him and me, as time goes on little refinments will be made, and being digital if popularity is there then plastic is a strong dream.

also in my thoughts are 15mm version.

the first suits are up to buy now :)

Thank you.

had a few sales last night, i know one of the purchasers so i will contact them today to see if thay had any issues.

Im not very tech savy but only thing that comes to mind is maybe a glitch from heavy traffic at the time, all i can currently suggest is try again, and let me know Via PM any issues you have or for a faster responce email me at evilbearwargames@gmail.com

many thanks.

Title: Re: Near future Armoured suits
Post by: Mr Evil on 04 August 2015, 09:18:23 AM
heavy weapon wise im looking at 2 options

one is the mini gun, the issue i have with this is although a very lightweight weapon for its class, its power requirments do add a lot of weight.

another option is this

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M230_chain_gun

as used on the appache gunship, ammunition is designed to be light weight and its power requirments low.
the arm design will allow weapon options to plug in i hope, with a larger chain,

fusion weapons and such scifi shinanagins... book 3 for the game will have a progression to more experimental scifi like weapons, when this happenes there will be a new suits that takes the tek forward to use with these weapons, these will work along side the old suits, and you could use the old suits as part of rebelion forces for example.

Title: Re: Near future Armoured suits
Post by: Genghis on 06 August 2015, 07:22:47 PM
I'm loving the figures, but have some observations about those suggested weapons:

I'm not sure the suit would be able to handle the recoil of a 30 mm cannon.  The use of rotary barrel MGs/cannons is when very high rate of fire is required - I'm not sure these guys would really need that (plus, carrying enough ammo to make it worthwhile would be very heavy).

I would suggest maybe a 7.62 mm or .50 cal/12.7 mm chain gun as the MG option & a 40 mm automatic grenade launcher for the exploding rounds option (both with suitable ammo feeds & reserves). 

(Or if you fancied something a little more exotic, a belt-fed version of the XM25 air-bursting grenade launcher: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XM25_CDTE (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XM25_CDTE))
Title: Re: Near future Armoured suits
Post by: Mr Evil on 08 August 2015, 08:00:21 PM
Absolutly totaly agree :)

yup the HMG and automatic grenade launcher as put on some vehicles is a absolute must have.

some vehices alsosupport the Minigun, im not so sure on this, but it has a cool factor, and if it does happen ot will be on a heavier suit slightly with an aditional power pack.

im not quite there yet as i have other bits in production que first and i only have so many me's :)

once i do get to that stage i will be taking a long hard look at information and practicalities..


good news is the first vehicle is getting close to completion, just needs a few tweeks till im happy with it, although to be honest as it is to the layman its ready to roll.

also in next week have a nice littel news flash comming out as regards some infantry, allowing you to add lots of infantry to your moderns relativly cheap. Less than £2 a mini, mostly suitable for genric modern americans and maybe PMC, they will aslo have avaliable in futre a range of head swaps to personalise them... but they are yet to be sculpted. so few pennies so little time...

will try show some pics soon of some painted examples other have done.

thank you for reading, as a little fish in a big pond i find any chat very encouraging and it helps me push forward.

Title: Re: Near future Armoured suits
Post by: Mr Evil on 09 August 2015, 12:06:42 AM
In OSC you can have passive protection, in some ways thats the little tubes on the left above the arm, they launch charges to intercept warheads.

reactive armour generaly uses the same rules in the game for simplicity sakes to keep thinks moving, thats not to say in the future things can change if i think of an interesting fun mechanic.

players are encouraged to customise thier suits as much or as little as they like :)

Matt
Title: Re: Near future Armoured suits
Post by: Genghis on 09 August 2015, 12:23:55 PM
If these guys are meant to operate in close proximity to regular infantry, then ERA is a big no-no (no one wants a hot frag shower in the middle of a firefight). 

Active protection systems (such as the Russian Arena or Israeli Trophy) would have similar problems - they're still going to launch bursts of fragmentation that would pose a threat to anyone nearby.  (Also, the supporting sensors, etc would start getting very heavy for a one-man suit.)

Thinking about it, I'm not sure how you could protect these suits against anti-armour weapons with near-future tech.  Lasers against grenades and missiles (ie chemical energy rounds) is the best I could come up with, but you'd be taking a bit of a leap with the miniaturisation.  Laser hard kill against solid (kinetic) anti armour rounds is probably some way off yet...
Title: Re: Near future Armoured suits
Post by: Mr Evil on 09 August 2015, 09:46:26 PM
Rules wise its a simple test to see if active protection engages the warhead class weapon, it can only be used v warhead type weapns over a certain range, anything under that the sytem is not fast enough or it is deemed unsafe to use due to infantry in close proximity.. so fear not... and its only as good as the quality of the force and not 100% full proof by any means.

Well its been a busy day today with bits comming in from all angles, including retail interested in the range, and sound advise from other mini companies, this with sales accelerating, its probably time to warn people.

During August I am keeping the introductory Price as it is, untill either the end of the month or stock runs out, once this has happened the price will be raised to a degree where it is possible for retail to sell them as well, if i sold them to retail using the current price as a RRP i would be paying them to sell the minis, lol not good buisness practice.

what this does mean is i will be able to runn some special web bundles in the future once the stock range grows, wich should happen a fair bit next month by looks of things currently (not set in stone sadly)

I am also looking into introducing a level for free shipping world wide, but its quite a bit more fidly than i would have hoped for. As shop currently only has one item its not realy an issue yet.. once vehicles get added the game changes.

as a thank you for watching this post here is a sneak of the first vehicle, this is not the final render, ive had a few changes made, but i cant give everything away... ps it will come with 2 weapon turrets.

I don't know why but I really want one of these to have a horse-shoe antenna with floodlamps mounted to it.

Just a reminder, the special price wich is over 30% off ends soon :)

Title: Re: Near future Armoured suits
Post by: Mr Evil on 20 August 2015, 11:53:38 AM
Suits with 28mm infantry, without the vehicle this would make a 300 point force for OSC part1. normal learning games are suggested around 75-100 points.

HI Ho

well this is the last weekend of the introdiuctory price for the suits.

Each product that gets launched will be done at an introductory price, for those fast enough :) this is dont to help bring in a fast injection of to pay for the moulds on the next product.

This is if you think about it a mini kickstarter on each mini, you invest in the first month you get the product cheaper, But unlike a kickstarter you get your products in days, not months.

The store also hase more new products now, this helps fill your cart to grab the Free Postage for orders to the UK of £25+

There are more exciting products comming i hope next month, from terrain to vehicles :)

http://www.evilbearwargames.com/shop/ (http://www.evilbearwargames.com/shop/)

sorry no pics, Have been finishing the rules for tha last 2 weeks and there very close to going to printers now, just need to fix the odd section, it has everything there, just a few parts need highlighting so you dont just read past some of the cool rules like alert.   

To those that have bought suits so far, A huge thank you, you have made the forthcomming Panther vehicle and 3 new sets of suits to be possible in the very new future and the start of sculpting on a few other little projects :) so Again a huge thank you.

kind regards Matt

PS all orders over the weekend will be dispatched Tuesday due to bank holiday weekend. but will be sent 1st class to get to you as fast and safe as possible.

Get some painting guides from the little ninja... I LOVE this color scheme.  Would love ACE on a winterscape.  I would love to match the colors   :)

These are awesome. I may get a couple to add to my Denizen Mid-Tech Infantry force (which I think I'm going to do as Kurdish Republican Army troops). Course I need the readies first!
