That looks interesting.
Wonder what scale the figures will be?
Definitely one to keep an eye out for.

It looks very French ::)

I love the characterisations of the genre stereotypes and will keep an eye out for this.

Strange, exactly these mini preview pics "offended" me.
OK, not really offended, but IMO they look a bit too over the top, too funny, too much "Pax Limpopish" for my taste.

I like the good old sweaty two fisted Pulp-style! ;)
cheers and keep on gaming, Agis - https://www.adpublishing.de

You are right, they are rather eccentric and wouldn't mix with "proper" pulp figures. I do think they are lovely minis though and ideal to use in a stand alone boardgame like this will apparently be. I think there's room for both, though whether there's enough in my wallet for both is another matter  :(

Agreed, I may even get the game anyway and substitute the charcater minis with some suitable minis of my Pulp leadpile (a good reason to paint some...).

Personally I wouldn't have any problems mixing them with proper minis.

Having eccentric characters mixed in always makes for a much more interesting scenario IMHO.

Must admit I rather like the models - hope they are going to be available without buying the game!

Any idea when the game should be for sale. I couldn't find any information about the release (apart a Gencon pre-release) ?
I wish I were an octopus to paint more miniatures...Cthulhu must be a great painter
