Hi, just received this news from Tony Reidy from defiance Games, his marines are now open for preordering!

Please share your opinions as I think they could be useful for many settings both scifi as less scifi

yeah ill be getting them for sure,im just a bit aware of the Scale (1/56) i wonder how they scale up against my other Sci-fi Stuff

I'm hoping to get them reviewed  But it isn't sure yet.

When I've seen an example of each of the troops assembled, with no renders in sight and without a stripy paint-scheme that masks all the detail (or lack of it), then I'll be able to form an opinion of them.

So far we have seen one heavily painted miniature, a bunch of rendered pix and a few concept sketches...not really a lot to go on.

From what has been shown, they look promising but we've been down this route with Wargames Factory and some of their finished products are...to be blunt...a little below what the renders promised.

We need a review!   The quality of Wargames Factory varied a lot as the zulu warriors are quite good but other kits aren't.

The designs and artwork look nice, if the models are as good I may well pick a box.  Sounds like a huge supporting range is planned.

Huzzah!  I can now buy a pig in a poke before the pig has even been born!

More hype and still no product on show. Order at your own risk.

[Andrew May]

When I see a photo of Tony holding a stack of these sprues in his hands for real I will believe it.

I agree with Matakishi. If these models are ready to sell, there should be some better pictures of them. Some sprue shots would be nice and some shots of the actual models NOT renders. I'm interested but won't buy something that the company can't be bothered to take decent pics of.

I can only agree.

I've ordered some - the one we've seen isn't painted wonderfully well and plastic is such a versatile material so even if they don't come out as good as the renders they can be improved quite easily I think.

I found the following picture to show the scale of the USMC marines.

I haven't found any sprue pictures as my google fu failed!

[Mr.J]

I really like these. Won't be ordering any any time soon but I think they look great. Perfect for my Halo project if I get it back off the ground again.

[Belgian]

Yes they are! The former company is Wargames Factory and the miniatures with the great coat are called shock troopers if I recall correctly.
