Surely not more Spacelords? How wonderful - can it be true?

YES

Yoyodyne Elite Skychargers with laser swords. And I have to say, these are crackers. For once, my peerless photographic skills (

) have not done them justice.

Set of 3 - £4.50

I'm not too sure if Metal Magic intended these to be Yoyodyne Elite or Yoyodyne Skychargers so I've called them both to cover all options. If anyone has the True Word on this, let me know.

Very cool.

I think the space samurai were just called Skychargers, but they are the elite of the Yoyodyne faction. So, I'd say you named 'em right.

I don't think this group are as well known as some of the other Spacelords types - they may be the last releases Metal Magic added (I'm just guessing). They're certainly top quality sculpts...

Incidentally, anyone know of any rules/games that these would be particularly suitable for?

The Warzone "Mishima" faction have a space samurai vibe Doug. The Yoyodyne wight fit in with some of the smaller sculpts in the two Warzone ranges.

I have to admit that my interest is a shameless attempt to find a way of selling more figures and nothing more....

The yoyodyne where one of the newer factions in spacelords. So, there where some Open questions about them. I will Look for them.
After a Lot of ideas and Problems to get the permission to Release the background for free, i think about a generic idea-Set for the rules. In the Moment I think that "tommerow's war" and "bolt Action"/"antares" Would work Well with spacelords.
But - very important - in the Moment there will Come no official stuff, because I won't get any permission to Release it. So I will spend more Time for Other ideas.

Jolly nice

The middle one looks like he'd make a nicely unusual jedi...

And they do paint up well too:

Now I have no choice but to finish up the other half dozen poses or so sitting in my unfinished lead pile... I've already got them about 70% completed, so now I really have no excuse...

<ahem> Playtesting begins in circa two weeks time for our new sci-fi skirmish rules set in the Terran Space universe of Silent Death: The Next Millennium infamy. These along with their Yoyodyne Shigaru rank-and-filers fit in perfectly with House Tokugawa's Special Naval Landing Forces Special Assault Brigade troops who are outfitted and fight in a manner in keeping with House Tokugawa's founding principles of maximal efforts to preserve and protect natural environments even when forced to wage war. These are close combat specialists equipped to a state-of-the-art standard including sophisticated powered armor, cutting edge quality personal DFGs (Deflector Field Generators), and the best in hand-to-hand and close combat weaponry.

The Shigaru are a perfect fit for the Tokugawan Customs Authority's Immigration and Criminal Enforcement (ICE) SWAT officers. As House Tokugawa controls some exceedingly resource rich worlds and ecosystems thereon, the Tokugawans are in a constant state of campaign interdicting smugglers, battling criminal cartels and space pirate gangs, and dealing with a constellation of criminal activities and criminal operators trying to transit into or out of Tokugawan territory. As many of the larger, better organized cartels and pirate fleets come heavily armed, the Tokugawan ICE and SNLF forces cooperate on a regular basis to bring the right amount of firepower to the target while minimizing as much as possible any collateral damage or casualties. This can be exceptionally dangerous work, especially when it involves dealing with sentient traffickers (slavers), who remain a plague on civilization no thanks to the policies of the late, generally unlamented Terran Empire.

Quit frankly, in the post-Imperial era of Terran Space, it's never a dull moment for a cop working the beat in House Tokugawa.
