Always interested to see new figures, but these appear very similar to a lot of existing figures so I don't know how much impact they would make.

I almost certainly would not buy them (25+ mm is on the way out for me and buying Science Fiction infantry is not high on the list of "filling in a few gaps" right now,) but I always would like to see "different" near future like figures being produced.

So, I guess that is a "half vote" for their production?

Interested as ' Near Future' enough to make it into my ideas of 'Tomorrow's War'.

If the sculpts matched the concept art and they were compatable with other manudacturers stuff, I'd get a squads worth at least, maybe two.

If the figures match the art, quite possibly, but I'd prefer not to have the "sprinting" pose.

IF the figures are well executed, match the art work at least fairly well and are compatible with at least some other Sci-Fi/near future ranges then I would certainly want a couple of squads worth.

(My personal preference would be that they match with the Hasslefree "White Ops" range  :) )

Count me as another if, if, if poster.

As a concept sure they are neat and I also like new figures but there is a world of difference between interested and actually purchasing the figures.

Height?  (No, just saying "28mm doesn't count.  Is that 28mm to the eye, top of the head, what?)
Proportions? (heroic 40K or realistic)
Multi-Part or single part casts?
Material? (metal, resin, plastic, restic)
Old school sculpting or done on a computer?

Thanks all

As some may know, I'm a 15mm shop currently. All work is sculpted in green stuff.
Size is one question I need to look at, to be honest, Ill look at the leading 28mm scifi/future war stuff such as pig iron or hasslefree and base the size around that.
Poses, I agree on the sprinting, advancing and firing are the standard I use. If people like multipart figures I can certainly look at that to.

Please keep your thoughts coming
thanks

I would be really interested. Near-future troopers are always welcome and I really like the style of your 15mm figs, so 28mm versions would be great.

I'm firmly stuck into the 15mm sci fi department now, I just wouldn't have the cash to continue buying into yours and other manufacturers 15mm with 28mm on top. Good luck though!

Really, like them. The style and design of the helmets are different enough to make the useable as a faction. I'd go with desperate heads and a clever multi part system like the statuesque resistance fighters rather than multi pose.
