Agis' Imperial Assault minis - Jabba's Realm

[Agis]

FFG is putting their SW license to good use, after the RPG and X-Wing they launched Imperial Assault. Being the SW nut that I am, I ordered the basic game box. I like it so far. 

Storm Trooper and Luke!

The minis are medium quality plastic, similar to Mantics Mars Attack. The also share the same amount of mold lines.
I would love to see a dedicated high quality miniature release, resin cast. I really think that the softy plastic with all the mold lines is giving the original sculpt ne credit at all...
The sculpts have a 1990s feel, chunky and more in style to Games Workshop minis. I like them!

Here is the always wanted comparison shot:

Expect some more painted samples within the next months.

These look really good!

It may have just re-awakened my Star Wars interest.

[OSHIROmodels]

They look great 

I know next to nothing about this, how many figures are going to be released and will they be available separately or just in box sets with the games?

cheers

I like the quality FFG generally puts into their products. But sixty quid for a boardgame is asking just a little too much for me.


James, it looks like they are releasing separate figures. One character figure in a box, and it will cost around £8. That's for one plastic figure (well, and some rules-y stuff for the game).  £15 for an AT-ST or a pack of three mook-type figures.



Smashing painting there, Agis. Looking forward to seeing some more.

Cheers Dylan, shame if they don't do 'blister packs'

I am getting very tempted by this...

The problem is: They ARE bloody close to what I AM looking for....

Move along. Move Along.

Very cool. Must buy!

Thanks for the comparison shot.  I had a chance to play a game (not star wars) where my buddy fielded his Imperial Assault repaints.

Despite some soft detail on the weapons, they're nice figs and I prefer their proportions to the more spindly options available.  The WoTC figs weren't bad (and should mix just fine with SW:IA), but the Knight models were anorexic and terribly overpriced.

...but the Knight models were anorexic and terribly overpriced.

True, very crips quality, but who would fit in such a tiny armour?

[eilif]

No One!

Taking a look at the picture below I think the ImpAss (not the best abbreviation perhaps  ) Stormtroopers might be the most "realistic", though of course I use that term loosely.

These latest figures ARE nice. I think I do like them better than the previous releases, the troopers at least.
