AT-43 Oni Mercs

[aliensurfer]

£20 odd for 6 plastic human figures (albeit pre-painted) probably didnt help much either, the AT43 stuff was priced too high for what it was for a large chunk of the range.

Very nice brushwork. For the life of me, I can't capture that subtle palette, those matte/luminous color schemes.

I enjoyed my AT-43 figs but do miss my metal Wolfen. Easy come, easy go. Life goes on.

Maybe at some day someone buys the range and brings them out unpainted...

I remember reading a quote from Paolo Parente in a Dust e-zine that the master molds for AT-43 were at risk of being destroyed for lack of any potential buyer and the space they take up in the Chinese manufacturing building. The company that manufacturers the Dust figures previously produced AT-43.  If the molds have been, or will be destroyed I don't think AT-43 will rise from the grave, which would be a shame.  I liked them enough to buy 5 different armies... although I missed out on ONI!

Not really why i have trouble believing a Chinese company would throw out molds instead of using them and repopulating the market under Made in China label. I know a few Chinese knockoffs that are out there.

I contacted the company that currently holds the right to at-43.they gave me a stock response that they'd been giving everyone for the past few years.AT-43 is never coming back in afraid, at least not using the same moulds and not until someone buys it.
It's basically just something that got lumped in with the rights to confrontation to make some last money for the poor chaps at rackham.

I only recently found about about AT-43 through some friends. The ONI would definitely have been my army of choice, but being the last release before Rackham crashed, the figures are expensive and nigh-impossible to find. I'll likely have to build my own (some day).

In the meantime, I can enjoy looking at great work like this. They paint you've done on these figures really makes them look top-notch!

[stone-cold-lead]

Looks like I'm just in time with this lot then!











It's taken a while to get them all done and I'm hoping I don't have to paint anything grey for a bit.

If I could afford you, you'd be my painting whore of choice, alas, I am but a poor wastrel who'll have to be content with the mini-porn you post on these hallowed pages.

Top Job, love your greys and blacks.

[Achilles]

Great job.

My sentiments exactly!
