Eureka Relsease 28mm Moorcock Miniatures - Hawkmoon, Jerry Cornelius

[JollyBob]

Jerry, Una, Pyat etc, they could all be shoe horned into all sorts of 20th century eras of gaming. Pyat and Mrs Cornelius (in their younger days) were knocking about during the Russian Revolution and most of the worlds major events onwards. Jerry and Una also have that whole alternate reality time travelling malarkey so they can end up in various places. Actually I bet Crooked Dice's 7TV would work for some of that... hmmm....

Pyat, Makhno and Lobkowitz, leading a Mongol raid into 1930s Manchuria while Jerry smuggles Professor Hira towards Tibet... 

Copplestone will be getting a few orders out of this by osmosis I think...

 As for the Jerry Cornelius stuff

I saw one of the photos they are using for reference ideas for the female figures. Not being a cornelius man I cant remember who was who but one particular photo of a gun toting 1920's girl looked freaking amazing.

Could be Una Persson but could be anything really.

If they're using that picture of Louise Brooks with a pair of pistols as reference:



Then hell yes.

I'm assuming it would be Una Persson, heroine of space and time.

I just toss in this comment to get updates

By gum, folk are reading our minds! That is indeed the photo we spotted on Thursday and want to use for 'a' Una.
As many of you point out, we can make all sorts of figures and use them, as time travel really does make this  possibility.

As an aside, do you know why she is holding those flintlocks? I'd love top know,

I wish I knew. I've only seen a couple of her films, and it's clearly not from those. She's in all kinds of activities for publicity stills, like getting her shoes shined, playing marbles (no, really) and stuff. So it could just be some randomness for a studio publicity still.

It is such a cool photo, though. She looks like such a player character.

this is the 10mm wolfmen. Thanks for the attach file tip Steve F. Full of win.

These look large for 10mm how do they scale against GW Warmaster, Kallistra or Pendraken 10mm. I have a suspicion these may be closer to 15mm?

Well, that figure's a must-have for me.  Any ETA on the release?

[robh]

out of sheer curiosity how can you tell?

Painted a lot of 6 and 10mm figures in my time.  The lovely Wolf Legion guys seem to have more surface detail, and deeper undercuts than I would expect on a 10mm figure.

The only "to scale" 1/200th "N" gauge figures are the incredible GHQ range. They are true proportion and 9 or 10mm high (sole to crown).
But in the world of non scaled "10mm" wargame figures they are tiny:

Figures from Copplestone, Old Glory, GW Warmaster, Pendraken etc are slightly bigger, coming in at about 11 to 12mm sole to crown, Kallistra bigger again 12 to 13mm sole to crown. The Wolf Legion figures you linked remind me a lot of the Kallistra models.

The third figure from the left is 10mm from foot to eye.
If they were 15mm figures, we would call them 15mm.

Cheers

Could we have a copy of the image of Louise playing marbles! That reads like another possible figure

"Foot to eye"  
Height is measured to the top of the subject.  So the shortest one is between 11 and 12mm then, which makes the tallest one .........

Means the Ornithopters and war machines should work for my 6mm figures (which are actually 9mm).  Will be interesting to see how the flamingos are done, if they size for 10mm.

Thanks Scurv for pointing out this news for me, but the art of paraphrasing someone's comments is to keep the meaning of what they said, not give it your own interpretation.

From here:

There are some great pictures there.

[Argonor]

Really.

I always thought it was foot to eye due to people wearing tall hats/big hair. The truth of the matter is it depends on the manufacturer and how they choose to measure scale. GW and Eureka both use a foot to eye scale. In fact I cant think of anyone that uses foot to top of head but it is out there.

That has been a convention in wargaming for longer than I have been in the hobby - for exactly the reason given here.

[Fighting15s]

My initial stocks of Eureka's 28mm Hawkmoon figures have arrived in the UK and the codes are now in the Fighting 15s shop (http://www.fighting15sshop.co.uk/hawkmoon-1111-c.asp). They would have been up earlier but my picture editor has been very busy with her real life...

Prices, as I suspected, are £2.85 inc VAT per foot figure. Ex-tax this price is near equivalent or slightly better than Eureka's own ex-tax price in Australian dollars (AUD 4.00 ex GST). YMMV but I'm currently getting only AUD1.59 to £1 as an actual, as opposed to average (xe.com), exchange rate.

Stocks are limited. Because the exchange rate is still so poor, and because I am optimistic that it will one day improve again, I will by and large order in the figures as customers want them, with the result than an order may take eight or more weeks to fulfil. As usual, I will try to get them as fast as possible.
