Haha! Didn't actually know that Martian Empires a game that was still being developed. Would love to know what else they might have up their sleeves.

Any chance of a scale comparison photo alongside a 15mm and a 28mm figure?

As my British genes have not asserted themselves sufficiently to engender love of tripodal walkers, I think I may find it useful as a self-raising, anti-'nef gun pod. Think non-radar Chain Home, though might conceive an auditory version.

Big ear trumpet on the top? Trainable, unlike the concrete ones.

My pair arrived Saturday morning. Beautiful castings and perfectly sized for smaller walkers for 28mm 'scale'. Also picked up my first of the WW1 Goblins in Picklehaube....absolute delight and I will load up on them at Salute methinks.

Mike what are the chances of a BIG flyer????

I am talking to Jez about some new models for next year.  These will include the french vehicles to go with the French Martian Empires figures (finally) which hopefully will be 2nd Quarter of next year.  The Big Flyer is still on the list as are the final bits for the Home Service British.  One of the problems with the flyer is working out how to make it so it can be mounted on a stand.

I still have a load of 15mm Sikh Wars to release to finish that range, 43 packs of 28mm SF Martian traders and a small range of 28mm Rat Pirates to release first!  I am also working on developing the 54mm Toy Soldier side of the business.

2014 was a bad year for my ME/CFS and consequently I haven't managed to get new stuff commissioned or released - keeping up with orders is hard enough sometimes.

thanks

Mike
