It seems august is the planned release date.
Played the french version a while ago and there are some good ideas in it.
But I simply love the background and the flavour of it.

From crispness of the detail, it looks like resin. But it's amazing what is possible with polystyrene nowadays. So it might as well be plastic. Hmm, no real answer here. But I am rather interested as well.

So no Nazis unless you want to paint them differently.

Post by: supervike on May 15, 2007, 03:40:07 PM: I had heard that it was mold injected plastic...but sorry I can't verify that for you....

Post by: ketoeloeh on May 15, 2007, 07:22:58 PM: I'd really appreciate it if anyone who ordered these figs could chime in on the matter once the goodies are received.

I bought the French version, and though the (pre)painted plastic figs are OK the plastic is a bit too soft for my taste, and small extending bits (gun muzzles, knifes,...) might end up slightly warped.

So, I really hope it's resin :)

Post by: loki on May 16, 2007, 11:32:30 AM: I received my minis today.

They are great :love:

Most of the arms and weapons are separate to fix on.

The minis come in a small box.

The minis are plastic and have a scale between 28mm - 30mm.

They are made in Hong Kong.

The minis are plastic

The plastic; is it hard (GW-like) or soft (Clix-stuff)?

Its more like Clix stuff.

But I heard a coating of wood glue will do wonders - I never tried it.

I think the plastic is a harder than that.

I took some photos of the set I got including some comparison photos of them next to some 28mm minis

Voici donc quelques recherches crayonnées des éléments qui constitueront le plateau de jeu "d'Operation Novgorod".

Roughly :

These are some drawing sketches of elements which feature the next gameboard "operation Novgorod"

Hope that's readable :oops:

Its part of the design for sections of the expansion for the Tannhausser board game. No real terrain is being made
