Kolony Rebel body part sprues - first pics
After what seems like ages here's the first shots of our Kolony Rebel body part sprues.

Each sprue contains five different bodies or legs and come with a mix of battered clothing and weapons. Keen converters will see that the amount of variation you can get even with these first 4 sprues is massive. Couple this with the different heads options and the variations are endless. The legs don't have cast-on bases as we've noticed more and more people have been snipping them off our figs and using fancy decorative resin bases. This will no doubt annoy some people but we think it works ok.

Already on the workbench are non-scruffy legs with kneepads and sidearms, new body armour variants, new weapons and non gasmasked heads. Eventually we will do greatcoat legs and standard militia bodies and even revisit the heavy infantry range.

Another thing we have done is make the sprue (which is usually thrown away) into piles of small rocks and rubble - these can be snipped up and used to decorate your bases.

I'll be doing an official news release soon when I've got some more pics of the individual parts.



P.S. Love the rock sprue idea, very very clever!

Plus some new rebel kolony heads on the way that look amazing!!!




More pics on the blog. Really looking forward to these.
