Wargames Factory Shock Troops - I've got a box!

[Dewbakuk]

I'm sure I saw them listed on a site the other day at £14.50 a box with 18 figures but there were deals for buying multiple boxes etc so I'm not 100% sure.

Actually be helpful if someone who had a set took a picture and posted up here you know! 

  I was thinking the same thing.

Christ those two are annoying.

I just ordered a box from the War Store.  They look pretty good to me.  I've had good luck converting GW plastics into all kinds of crazy things so more multi part 28mm plastics is a win win for me.  I also orderend AE Bounty which looks to be the type of Sci-Fi miniature game I've been looking for.

More like a D&D Mine Flayer I'd say.  Four tentacles curling symmetrically down.  The eyes are very spaced apart, almost like a hammerhead.

If it wasn't for those pesky shoulder pads, I'd get some of these. I just couldn't face cutting a dozen or so pairs of them off.

Oh well, I'll save up for some Pig Irons instead 

Is the "tentacled" head that is blanked out modelled on the Dalek Sec/human hybrid from Dr Who, or is it more like Davy Jones from POTC 2?

If it's the Dr Who version, I'd be happy to take one off someone's hands 

[Gluteus Maximus]

Ok thanks, not Dalek Sec then. I wonder why they blacked it out, if it's not a serious copyright infringement

Cthulhuoidesque then???

Again a picture would be helpful.

They mention it on the video, they claim it is very Zoidberg-ish.

Now that's the setting for a game I'd like to play 

[Tacgnol]

I've seen a picture of it but didn't save it. Looks very much like an angry Zoidberg.

I don't know what it would be infringing on?  Maybe it was to give the sprue a air of mystery?  I don't think the heads are going to be used with the greatcoats, put together a zulu with one of the heads, looks pretty good actually.  If I get a chance at the end of the week, I'll post some pictures of squid head and my Space Soldaten.

No mystery about why the squid head was blocked out. It was held back as surprise-I think it came from an idea that got floated on the WF forum but that no one thought WF would actually include.

Christ those two are annoying.

Not if you imagine them as husband and wife....Then I found it very enjoyable.
