Have to agree with the Captain, those are very nice sculpts and the proportions look great.

I wonder how these would look with some Crooked Dice fellas as they look like they could work well with their minions.

Thanks guys I think they would work well with some of the Crooked Dice figures will have to have a look to see if I have any CD minis to use for a comparison pic

For now here is a pic with other manufacturers figs

Those are very nice. :) . I get a Sci-fi desert fighting force vibe from them. Are the rifles sculpted directly on the figs or are they easy to swap?

Nice, and I normally hate pulp stuff.  This is like..grit-pulp or something.  Soldiers with actual backpacks and gear, etc.

I like the look of these!

Are these sold with separate heads?

I read on The Guild that the back packs are separate - are the backs of the figures "detailed" or will they need some work if the back packs are not used?

I like them but...

For as big as those rucks look, they must be pretty darned light because the poses don't make the troops look like they are actually carrying a load on their backs.

I like them except the heads or more so, the caps they are wearing, but a head swap will fix that  :D

Comparison picture



From left to right Crooked Dice, Heresy, Hasslefree

You will also notice that the weapons are separate I think there is one guy with a fixed weapon and backpack

Rearview



Should work quite well minus the packs

The heads are fixed but they would be quite easy to remove so some head sprues for alternate head-gear might be something to consider for the future

Lovely sculpts and very well proportioned.

The thing that does it for me is how bloody useful they are! I can imagine them in loads of settings.

Do you have an ETA on them?
