No more previews till after the weekend - although plans continue behind the scenes as it were.

Either here or in the Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/UNI.TECH.HQ/

Ronin-X (A.K.A. Jack Hughman) is a Rogue Prime - Not all Primes are allied with a Faction, and have been dubbed "Ronin" by the Initiative.

This guy was sculpted some time ago - and though I love the quirky style of this sculpt, I wasn't entirely sure about releasing it - but those who've seen it have been nagging me to, so it's going to get a limited release through the Retro-Booster (and then maybe available as a promo model, and at events).

A nice 70s vibe to him.

The Giaour are Rednecks and Survivalists who have lived in the Barrens so long they've evolved into a self mutilating cannibal society and live alongside the Carrion - often picking over their leftovers for food. Vile in the extreme, with an almost hive-like structure to a tribe - and each tribe as an unnaturally seductive Queen . . . .

Most Heroes don't wear their "Super-Costumes" all the time, and most miniature Companies don't release miniatures for characters in their civilian Guise - but We . . Aren't . . Like . . Most . . Miniature . . Companies . .

WHO ARE NEXUS STUDIOS! (Nexus Studios is who we are, Nexus Miniatures are what we make).

Well, theres me Drew Wood - the mad ideas, the writing, the planning etc - thats my department. I'd call it a one man band, but I have help (Cats not withstanding).

Carl Stoelzel - long time friend and confidant, he's my "Art Master General". His doodles breath life into my worlds, he's also turned out to be a rather brilliant Z-Brush sculptor too (it's Carls work you are seeing in the previews)

Dave Stone does my Resin Castings, and sculpts stuff for me on occassion - he also sells S.D.Z.A. Terrain and Suitable Prehistoric Creatures through his business Wargames Terrain Workshop.

Andy Lyon of Ainsty Castings does my Metal Castings, he also sells a great selection of terrain (his factory stuff would be great for a Uni-Tech installation).

Dave Crowther and Darren Pugh are my chief testers - I bounce wild ideas off them, and the playtest rules.

Lastly, my long suffering partner Linda - without her support and tolerance - I wouldnt even be attempting what I'm doing at the moment (Thanks Speedy)!

One of the things we are trying out, for "Henchmen" Models (for want of a better term) is a multi-pose system.

It dawned on me that there was actually no need for separate arms and weapons, whilst they are a converters dream (I myself like separate head and weapon sprues) - it struck me that there are pretty much just four "poses" for a model holding a rifle - Aiming, At Rest, Raised, and an "over the shoulder" pose - pretty much everything else was just a variation on a theme.

So, after discussing it with Carl Stoelzel (BooBoo on here - who's turned out to be something of a genius with Z-Brush) this was what grew out of that basic idea.

Separate Head Sprues (as many as realistically possible) a Sprue of "Grunt" heads, and a special sprue for Squad Leaders/Officers etc, four Torso's, and four Sets of legs. Without repositioning the Toroso's (so just front facing, no swivelling to the left or right), and giving the heads a different tilt or pitch theres a lot of variation already.

If it works well (and they sell of course LoL) for the Henchmen, I can see this as an option for characters too - with each Character being provided with an Armed and Unarmed Torso.

Tomorrow, a little Chatter about the newer Characters and about the Alternate Futures of S.D.Z.A.!
