Old Grendel Resin Sci-fi
« on: 22 May 2010, 07:54:58 AM »
Does anyone know if the old Grendel sci-fi resin interior peices like the cyber bar, cargo hold, etc would be too small to use with Copplestone's FW figs? I'm assuming due to the age of these things they were more designed for use with 25mm.

They are just fine IMO, if you like I can take some photos of Copplestone with whatever ones you want to confirm.

Sure, that'd be great! I'm looking at the Cyber Bar, Cargo Hold and Medi-Bay sets.

Thanks cdm!

Grendel stuff is quite large and chunky. It was produced at the same time as the original Copplestoe Future Wars figures for Grenadier and I've often used them together (all sold now so no photos, sorry).

One thing to be wary of is that the loader claw from the cargo bay is a single sided piece with no back detailing and requires a certain amount of modelling skill to make it usable, skills I was sadly lacking when I originally bought it...

Overall though, a good range of scenery and worth getting.

I was fairly lazy taking these though they should help some. The grid pattern is the old GW tile sets with a 22.5mm grid pattern

Sci Fi Bar



Medical Bay



Sci Fi Cargo Bay



I've dropped the crane a few times, it's held together by bits of bluetac.

Those are really nice. Futuristic, but gritty. Would suit smaller rogue trader style games.  :)

Even more reason for me to buy those. Gawd, this hobby is certainly a gentleman's crack, isn't it?

Geez....I had no idea Grendel's stuff was so awesome!


In todays age, I'm just surprised that they can't post pictures like this on their own CATALOG website.

It is almost inexcusable.

In the past few days, I've now added the APC and some of the above items to my 'must buy' list.

Anyone know how this vehicle sizes up to ''28' mm?

Indeed, I've been spending $100+ each week these last couple of months... and I keep listing up my next order afterward. At least during the summer I won't have the money to continue such a horrendously wonderful trend. o_o

Just read this thread, so apologies for the minor necromancy (at least the post I'm responding to is less than a year old - much less).
A little on the small side, but it makes a serviceable FAV.  They are around the same footprint as the Void Junker buggies.  It will fit on a 50mmx75mm base (I use one for a Sentinel stand-in for my IG army as I'm not actually a fan of the walker).
