I was asked recently if I'd have any interest in painting some of the minis - of course i replied 'yes'. When they arrive i'll do a full review and wip on the blog.

Well, they did a great move! With your paints on, those minis will look great for shure!!!

Seconded.
Dwartist could brush color on a Lego set and I'd be like "Whoa...Wish I could do that."

If anyone in the US (I'm near Savannah, GA) wants to split a box, let me know.

are these the guys that left the company that does the great coat troopers?

That's certainly one way to put it.   ::)

I'm more interested in the bugs myself - more versatile for conversion to fantasy/pulp/supers/horror gaming, and scale on them just won't matter.

I ordered a box the first day the announced them.  I figure it's a bit of a risky move but not enough money to put me out if something goes wrong.  I am super excited about where the range looks to be going.  A lot of 28mm companies seem to be moving stylistically in the same direction as a lot of established 15mm companies.  More hard sci-fi and less retro or fantasy look.  It all has it's place but GW has made me sick of retrograd/gothic tech.

Well, they had me at 'Female Marines' as I have been looking for troopers to make an all-female force from a matriarchal world for a long time.

And no, Shadowforge aren't acceptable.  :P

I'll pass this, or pick some spare ones from anyone that bought to many. My last attempt with their previous company left my sobbing and showering for three hours...

There are probably no pictures because there is no product yet.  I really would like to be proven wrong but I doubt we'll see sprue pics or even an injection moulded, plastic marine for a long while yet.

I DARE Defiance to prove me wrong.

With the "Prometheus" movie coming out, I'll probably invest in these.  I also like the hard sci-fi direction alot of products are going lately.  Being in the military, it's cool the weapons and technology alot of games and minis use kind of parallel things we still use.

I wish I could light up some bugs in real life with a belt-fed Mk-19 grenade launcher or a 249 SAW.  I imagine two  cockroaches fighting over a cheeseball on my kitchen floor and then my wife and I unleash withering firepower from across the house decimating everything as waves of gigantic glimmering roaches pour into our respective fire sectors.

i don't like to do that, but i agree. The trust is very important in this field, and i'm also starting to dubitate about the defiance policy...

Sadly, miniature business is yet one more area of life where it pays to be skeptical.
