They look great - nice posing and excellent sculpting, but I'm just not sure how PA they feel. Then again, much the same can be said about uniformed regulars in any Pa setting....

Very good poses, hopefully there will be also one pack with helmets  ;)

Very nice indeed... Lovely poses and crisp sculpting. The only element I am not sure about are the faces. Looking forward to seeing them painted.

Actually army regulars have much better chances to survive in a post-apocalyptic world then civilians so I don’t think we’re completely wrong with them.

Our PA range is still growing and our intention is to give you miniatures for several post-apoc settings, also including uniformed regulars. It would be just too boring to make only ragged ones :)
Title: Re: 2012(pics of new lam figs inside:D)
Post by: v_lazy_dragon on January 12, 2012, 09:56:56 AM
Good points Prof  :D - I had always assumed that military personel would have a higher chance of survival after the 'End', so it isn't that which is the 'issue' for me, but the level of uniformity (One reason I try to find some scruffier/more ragged types for my games). Then again, as you say, there are a wide range of possible apocalypses, and also time frames - with gear being less ragged earlier rather than later. Afterall, I doubt the day after the 'End' everyone will look like refugees from Mad Max2 or the copplestone scavenger line!

Don't get me wrong, they are lovely figures (well sculpted and posed), and I look forward to seeing what else you produce in a similar line for my ultra-modern collection, if not my post apoc one ;) )
Title: Re: 2012(pics of new lam figs inside:D)
Post by: Prof.Witchheimer on January 12, 2012, 10:32:58 AM
Don't get me wrong

No worries, I didn’t. And I agree it’s up to the stage of the post-apocalyptic world, at the beginning it’s more ultra-modern and it would need several decades or more to get it to the stage of Mad Max. It would be great to cover all the possibilities with our range one day. But at the moment it remains to be seen, it’s all up to the sales.

Awesome stuff! To specify, are those guys "Kampfschwimmer"? If so, I think those are more of the special forces variety, like the now defunct "USMC Force Recon", rather than the "standard" Marine type.

But I really, really like the figures, and they would be perfect for scenarios à la "infiltrate St. Petersburg from your fuel-cell powered stealth sub to rescue/assassinate Zar Putin I."...

As for Special Forces types in dystopic/postapocalyptic settings, I think Snake Plissken himself fought in Leningrad. ;)

Guess I have to order ... muhahaha.

Apart from the Marine discussion that i will not participate in. Are those heads going to be available seperately too? I think there would be quite a few people interested.
Anyways, even if not, I will order. Love their look.

Post by: Prof.Witchheimer on January 16, 2012, 09:11:32 AM
We will release this pack and another one (something different but also Bundeswehr). Actually I would love to make more for the Bundeswehr and similar things but as usual it's up to the sales.
Title: Re: 2012(pics of new lam figs inside:D)
Post by: Faust23 on January 16, 2012, 05:11:01 PM
Yep, totally get where you're going with sales.   

If I didn't have 30 Landsknecht already sitting, unpainted, on my shelf, I'd grab the Bruegelburg boys.  But I don't have Bundswehr marines on that shelf.... ;)

I will definitely pick these up from you when they release.

I agree. In an anarchistic world, the military vets will keep it running longer than anyone, IMO.  I think these are spot on.

I live in the U.S.
Personally, when the time comes (and it will  :) )
I'm just going to order straight from the source so I can get a complete list of everything that's available.

Wonderful minis!

I'm in the US and have ordered direct. Had a SNAFU but it was resolved quickly, so I have no qualms on ordering again just as soon as these are available.

I mean if I'm gonna order, it should be for more than a single pack, right?

Damn, I would love to see more germans!  ::)
Maybe some more ratty looking regulars, with a mix of G3s and G36s, along with normal german civilens. I know its bad, but I wouldn't mind seeing a group of jaegers in a mix of normal and traditional garb   lol
Title: Re: 2012(pics of new lam figs inside:D)
Post by: ErikB on January 25, 2012, 02:07:34 AM
Yes, more Germans, modern Bundeswehr types.
Title: Re: 2012(pics of new lam figs inside:D)
Post by: VonMoltke on January 25, 2012, 06:16:40 AM
More Bundeswehr regulars would be great ;)
To motivate Alex to do some additional packs, we have only to buy many of the SEK M (Spezialisierte Einsatzkommando Marine)...the Kampfschwimmer and Minentaucher  ;)

I would like to see regulars in Helmets, for example, one in the clasic tabletop pose firing MG3 from hip , one with panzerfaust 3 and one NCO with MP7.
Because there are no 28 mm modern Bundeswehr Figures in the miniatures market , only the 25 mm Eureka figures avaible, there may be a gap for such figures.
Usefull for many different rules systems and times ranges.

Von Moltke

I suggest separable heads with options for helmet, gasmask, floppy hat, maybe even no hat but showing a radio headset.

I would like the option to make Soldaten in Afghanistan with floppy hats or Europe with helmets or post-apocalyptic with gasmask.
