I think the miniatures are absolutely fantastic, the quality looks incredibly high but I'm still not a fan of the design aesthetic unfortunately. Still there may be a few miniatures amongst the line that'll make it into my collection.

I think Im in the same camp here really. Too gothic.

I really like these, my girlfriend and I are both quite into steampunk, so these sort of go well with that.

I wouldn't call them VSF, but it doesn't mean I won't get them.

More painted pics online now!

Well, as I said early on:


RE: The Dig

I waffle about it being too silly to even consider, though I try not to look at it for TOO long. Maybe if it had some rotors to the side...

However, the craft on deck are RIGHT OUT!

Obviously THAT is what I was talking about, but the rotors are even cooler than I imagined for the dig. ;->=

Still not liking the small flyers...

As somebody mentioned, the fliers look quite crimson skies style. I like CS but it still looks a bit out of place.
truth be told tough I feel I will have no problem running with the madness of this game, the extreme scale of it all has its charm to me for sure!

Hmm. For the first time I think I'm getting interested in this range.

Oooh, I'm liking the look of that french ship for sure.

I really do like the sort of mixed style of everything, as others have said it's not really VSF...but it's not really "steampunk" either, and I really like the gothic/industrial edge to it all.

Perhaps weird/alternate WW1 with the war starting slightly earlier and being a more every nation for himself conflict.

Have you seen this:

http://www.spartangames.co.uk/dystopian_wars_previews_french_battleship.html

Looks very Leviathanish...

Okay, even more than most of the big fliers, I imagine it delivering that broadside, and promptly rolling several times as in the old Popeye cartoons. ;->=

That said, it is a lovely thing; I still want to put tracked gear on it, though, and run it amongst LI's.

I, for one, am absolutely psyched about this. I love the smaller scale models and the large scale engagements. Spartan's support of their games is very nice and the models look wonderful.

There - I'm a fanboy now. Hope I'm not disappointed!

You know I feel we really need some more recognizable things for this game, not sure if infantry is going to work, but something we the size of to show how huge the rest is.

Well those tanks are pretty recognisable...to be honest everything has been fairly obviously some kind of ship till these tanks came out, now okay it can be hard to tell if they are sea ships or airships but it's still a ship.

Looks interesting but I struggle to find fellow gamers for Epic/MoW/BFG.

Never know there might be rules for small battles between scout armies could get yourself 2 wee armies if you like the look of two different forces and force someone else to play.
 ;)
