Cool, though the crew look like Kev White's Grymm.

They don't look too bad from what I can see. I like that there is a mix of male and female minis. 18 minis over 3 sprues means 6 per sprue...comparing to the Stargrave kits that may well mean the options are much more limited, especially as each sprue would have a mix of men and women. If nothing else though it looks like a good source of bits for conversions.

I was hoping for an earlier release date but I’ll wait for the retail release of the ships.

Sprue pics will really be the deciding factor for me as whether or not to pick these up. 

I loved the TV series and I'm willing to pay a premium for Expanse figures, but they've got to be good.  Renders aren't enough but I like what I'm seeing so far.   Really hoping to see even more options for unarmed figures.

Yeah, I was surprised by the number with weapons as well. Even the toolbag has a belt of bullets poking out of it. Hopefully there are some more general worker type accessories on the sprue

Wow, the body proportions on those 2 figure renders are crap. I hope they intend to improve those before production.
Is all Wargames Atlantic stuff that bad?

I have been pleased with most of WGA's stuff. Some of it is wonky though.....The Raumjager are a little thick in their proportions. The Einherjar are nice. The Grognards have bad poses. The Bulldogs are excellent. The kit I really had hopes for, the Ooh Rah are awful. The legs look like the trooper is wearing either hip waders or garters, and the arms make them look emaciated. I was told the garters are a harness the troops are wearing, but if you look, you see no connectors. They are garters.

I  also got their goblins and they are a nice kit. I am about to do some lizardmen, which come with parts to make them fantasy, Victorian or Sci Fi.

WGA are also redoing the Iron core line from Moondragon minis. Very nice figures.

I am hopeful someone somewhere will do good Future space infantry in plastic someday.
