Despite them not being on line at he moment, I do still have all the moulds (and stock in the shop) for the figures that Mike Broadbent and Eureka made as additions to the GZG universe. The first two photos are of some of ours.
Jon doesn't have them any more, as he and I took back our respective ranges in January this year.

Thanks guys, I have a few more yet to do.

Thanks for the update Nic, I've had some of these minis for 20+ years and picked up others at bring 'n buys etc. so wasn't 100% sure where they all came from.

Another smaller batch - a bit more fun this time will see these as a new cast for 7TV

Good thinking.  That looks very much like something a 1970s costume designer might have come up with - leotard, tabard, motorcycle helmet!
Back from the dead, almost.

Who makes those last two batches of miniatures?

These were Ground Zero Games in association with Eureka, some are still available from GZG. Note these are 25mm

Re: GZG/Eureka squads - final squad

hi all

I've painted up the last squad of my old GZG/Eureka figures. This time New Swabian League, but as these are to fill out my WEG Star Wars collection I've painted them up as Mandalorian mercenaries. I've added heavy weapon and armoured support (Grendel biped raptor).
More photos on the blog: http://www.posullivandesign.com/content/gzg-squads-v

Cheers

PS: could anyone ID the heavy weapon?

The ground mount heavy weapon is an old Games Workshop Eldar lascannon I think.

Yep, that :)

Nice work on the NSL troops (my favourites from the old 25mm range) :)

Absolutely corking paint jobs. I especially like the Combat Babes and the NSL Panzergrenadier/Mandalorians.
