So la la IMO. :?
The US Rocket Boys look a lot like Bob Murchs Rocket Trooper, the German Feuersoldier is something I do not get at all and the Sniper as lame as it's get's IMO.
Nothing really new here. :(

I was also a bit disappointed by the minis, too tiny, too much parts.
cheers and keep on gaming, Agis - https://www.adpublishing.de

I have to say, that Rocket Blast on the Trooper Illustration is as insinuatingly placed as is possible. Hurrah for Chili con Carne! :lol:

Iīm generally a bit disappointed with AEWW2. Great start, but the follow up stuff took ages, and I even couldnīt really contribute as a play-tester because all hitches I found had already been covered.

:cry:

Considering that they have the same sort of reference material this shouldn't really be surprising. Besides, this figure has a flight mask and not a Rocketeer style helmet. And if it follows the concept art there are flight fins on the rocket pack that are different as well.

I quite like the range. I wish they were more in scale with the "28mm" scale figs from Artizan and Pulp Figures but they are really good sculpts.

I would prefer a few single piece figs from them but the multi-part minis they have allow you to repose the figures giving you a lot more options from the figs. They also typically ship with multiple heads and arms so even troop packs end up with a fair amount of variety from them.

I have to say I like 'em all. The Rocket trooper is different enough, the Sniper pretty interesting and I love the Feursoldat: he looks like something out of Hellboy.

There's something really wrong with the Rocket Trooper's Thompson as well. I hope weapon on the the model is better than the drawing.


So la la IMO as well :?
