In breif - I really like what I see! I plan to stat out a Squad ASAP. It seems like that part is minigame a unto itself ...
-
I put together a first pass at a Squad inspired by, and planning to use, some of Mantic's excellent Rebs figures from Deadzone.
See whether you think I got them right:

I wasn't familiar with these minis. I really liked Yrtl, he fits my idea of an alien mercenary/bounty hunter to a tee. The others I could take or leave, but if you like them that's what counts. The stats for Rogue Stars look fine to me.
-
Check out the whole range. There are several other species plus different sculpts of some of the ones I picked for my Squad. Sadly, the only other Teraton sculpt for DZ is significantly smaller than the plastic/resin one.
-
Where do I get these from? I never heard of Deadzone before.
ah wait I found them. Isn't google marvelous?
Yes a few interesting minis in there for sure.
-
Deadzone is a Mantic game - link (http://www.manticgames.com/mantic-shop/deadzone/rebs.html)
The figures are nice, although the ones I have are restic, and were a major pain to clean >:(
-
I like your squad of 'rogues' though I will start with more "street" cops (do trails in a hive count as. Streets?). - 6 figures - lower in traits individually while I learn the game. Besides I have the figures in 15/18mm painted by a friend already.
-
Nice review. And I am also looking to use Deadzone rebs for this game, some great alien types in that range. I also want to find a use for the female Dwarf character r that came in the DZ KS.

I ordered the Loor Scouts from CP Models and wrote up some background material for the race as well as drafting out a Squad roster.

How about you posting some content instead of just linking to you blog.
-
If it's too much strain to click, feel free to save your strength.
-
It's called etiquette, it's about you adding something to the boards rather than just using them to pimp the contents of your blog.
No need to get shirty.

I plan use reaper IMEF models as a simple crew starter crew. (Bones versions) They will be mercenaries, I just need a civilian client to round up now.
-
The IMEF guys are a great fit for RS, I very nearly ordered some myself just yesterday. As for civilian clients, CP Models has newish Non-Coms that look really cool:

After mixed experiences creating content for a forum, I decided to create content for my blog and share and discuss it on various discussion forums. If any of these posts included pics of miniatures I painted, I would include a preview as I have elsewhere. The posts in question, however, are text and I provided a clear description for each one. Bypassing my content to post a drive-by lecture on content and ettiquette - of all things - is stark irony. So please stop dragging my thread off-topic.
I'd greatly appreciate it if a mod would delete the entire exchange.
-
Rather than always playing my crew against your crew, how about some missions against one-off enemies? It'd be cool to have a table of stock enemies for this purpose. Some further thougts on this as well as another "Antagonist Squad":

Enemy force/ Lurkers seems like a pretty cool idea. I don't know how well it would work with the complexity of the game mechanics as my rules haven't come through the mail yet but building groups that exist within the space world is a pretty entertaining diversion. It's a great excuse to grabs lots of cool new models of all different sorts to hit the bench too :) .
I feel your pain on trying to develop your blog while posting here. With the forums and Facebook making it so easy to post I find my getting the short end of the stick more often than not. I find it frustrating because formalizing things into a proper article on the blog takes a good deal more time and planning and rarely seems to provide either the audience or feedback proportionate to the task. When I do manage a proper blog article I limit what I post here to some teaser pics and hope someone will bother with further elaboration.

Yes , it has been a ton of fun just browsing all these existing lines and seeing them in a new light. Very dangerous to the wallet, of course!
