Terminator Genisys Endoskeleton

[Agis]

I bought the game and really like the rules so far. Seems a very well designed game, streamlined but with enough grit to keep you interested! The included Endoskeletons are an absolute blast to paint, extremely easy!


The above 3 were done under 1h.
Black, Leadbelcher spray, wash 2 drybrushes, 2 dots for the eyes and some red ink in the gun - done!

Got mine on the painting table!

I agree rules look good, going to try them out on Thursday

[Dewbakuk]

The rules look solid, personally I think the plastics look soft and rather featureless, particularly the militia types.

I built my entire starter box in about 2 hours, including customizing several of the human figures with weapons that weren't supposed to fit on the bodies provided. I will go back and customize a few of the endos as well to make a few of them stepping on or over rubble.

Love the paintjob on these. I expect a full batch of them should only take an hour or two to paint. Great idea on basing the crawlers though, they look much better that way.

Looking good, I'm enjoying the game a lot and had everything built and painted up in three weeks (which is quick for me and did include an aerial Hunter Killer).

...and the rest of the 10 Endos of the game box.


Again great fun!

On to the Human Resistance! The core game box also got the “exclusive” metal Kyle Reese model in it, time to paint him.


IMO - as the plastic Resistance fighters - a solid mini sculpt, but not as good as the Endoskeletons. It is in a way a sloppy sculpt, which makes it difficult to paint... The humans are also strangely out of scale. Kyle is a towering mini, while the other plastic sculpts are smaller.
However - I presume it is deliberate, since the weapon sizes are constitant.

The always asked for scale shot is below:

Is it just me, or does Kyle's gun look a bit droopy?

Endos look alright. Molding's still noticeably soft, but they do look more like proper endos than any of the "not" versions made by other companies. Poses need work though. They're holding their guns too far out from their body: makes them look a bit awkward and overbalanced forward.

YES, that is one of the sloppy parts...   
I presume the Endos were done by the Perrys while the humans are from a different sculptor.

[Dewbakuk]

Don't know about the Kyle figure but I was told all the plastics were Perry, although they didn't have much time to do them apparently.

[Legiocustodes]

Top stuff!! I better get painting mine now!

From my understanding, the largest thing with the resistance minis was the requirement for the arms to work on all of the bodies, and that they can "clip" in place and be swapped around for whatever configuration you need for each game.

TBH, when I look at the metal Perry Miniatures figures I own, they are sloppy sculpts too. They look great from a distance and proportions are nice, but detail is nothing to write home about, even after you give leeway for the bad caster they use (which doesn't help).

[Giger]

Don't quote me on this but I think Bob Naismith (sp?) has done the plastics and Michael Perry has definitely done the metal sculpts.

Definately Perry plastics. Bob has a very different style to these.
