Rhoderic, I've heard of the 1st Corps versions, but never seen them. Have you any comparison pics?


Well, the 1st Corps website has pictures of the figures themselves, but no comparison shots: http://www.1stcorps.co.uk/SciFi.htm

I think I've seen someone (maybe Cacique Caribe) post comparison shots of them over at TMP in the past, but I can't be bothered to start digging around over there. As I recall, they're a little bit smaller than ranges such as Copplestone, but only a bit (not so much as to be true 25mm).

Here are a couple of shots of the new figures.

<snip>
Sorry neither of them are actual marines but they are representative of the ranges size.

Oh and these aren't out just yet either, there has to be some perks for working at the Beast... (my sneeky peek marines arrive tomorrow, Woo Hoo!)

Stay lucky,
Soaps.


Thanks Soapy! Very useful pics. The figures look to be a bit "chunkier" than Foundry, but highly compatible.

That being the case, I'll have to start saving  :)

I really like your Gallipoli figures & will be seriously interested in the Palestine range when it appears!

First up we have dropship technician 'Priest' next to a (half painted) Copplestone terminator robot


And next 'The company man' next to a GW stormtrooper

Now you see I think I was right they aren`t squat (pardon the pun) bigger photos and comparisons like Sopay has shown are the answer :mrgreen:

The Technician looks like Bishop and the company man Burke from Aliens? Very nice characters, looking forward to seeing them at Salute :)

Of course! Obvious really.  :oops:  Why isn't there a smiley in the style of Homer smacking himself on the forehead?
I look forward to guessing the alter egos of subsequent figures :)  

I trust you will keep us informed of release dates etc.

This is great news!  This new range has got me very excited, I've never really been grabbed by other companies colonial marines but these I love! :love:  

Well done to those involved, I for one will be haemorraging money in your general direction. (And I also think it's time to dig out my old Colonial Marines rules which I wrote millions of years ago on my dads typewriter! :lol: )
