Yep, they are pretty nice actually. It's too bad for us ca. 28mm gronards that GZG looks have moved away from doing anything much for 25mm.

Meanwhile, Rackham Entertainment pushed back the release of the Cogs I've mentioned in a couple of posts on this thread to March '09. Or so, actually they are saying "wave 11" which means it depends on how well they can get back to "a wave a month" schedule they have been struggling to do.

Khurasan has released their version of a warrior bug -- the Arachnian:

It comes with the option to build either a worker or a warrior, actually. The difference being that the warriors have a "gun" in their abdomen.

The link's to TMP news bit since you'll need to do some diggin' to find 'em on the company site.

EDIT: and now what I happened to be rather randomly reminded of their existence, Emperors Choice has a big bug thingee called Grey Horror that would go -- with minor conversions -- reasonably well with the Khurasan Arachnians as some kind of megastrain warrior:

They also have a tech insectoid called "Black Phraint" which I don't recall seeing before. Sadly only a single pose, it seems:

Yep, it helps that D:VG has an area terrain solution for LOS and cover. Obviously flying and jumping troops will create some headache and some minor rules will cease to have a meaning at all without elevations (throwing grenades and climbing come to mind).

Hmm, we have rarely managed a game (excluding setup) in under 4 but then again I think we may play a little slower than an average gaming group. But in any case, D:VG plays faster than most people might think from just reading the rules.

ZombieSmith of the Quar fame has recently released some uniformed and (mostly) armed Greys of not-too-serious persuation. They are available in various unit size combinations and even include a hot Grey psyker chick (that is, I assume the other Greys think she's hot):

There are things man was not meant to know... But I can safely impart the fact that I've written an alternative history cyberpunk short story that got an award in a scifi literature competition but never got published.

Newbold is picking up steam after their hiatus last year(ish), the latest alien type greens on the show are Quist Micronauts. Those looking for somewhat smaller humanoids should like them:

Also, a post on TMP alerted me to the Laserburn Flesharons. Apparently they are actually quite nicely sculpted and very large for their nominal scale of 15mm, so they would work as small nonhumanoids (PLA mutants, anyone? :wink:) when mixed with 28mm scale minis. That, or as size 3 minis in their stated scale. Available (but poorly represented in the pix, apparently) here:

Furthermore, producers of somewhat alternative fantasy stuff Dragonblood Miniatures has released a "Defiance compatible" mini in the form of Clal-Chk Firesting Sniper. This large (40mm) biped insectoid armed with a long rifle wouldn't look too out of place on a scifi tabletop (especially one of "future gothic" persuasions) and is available singly or in packs of 5 (they are all the same scuplt AFAIK, but looks easy to convert at least for the poses):

The main site seems to indicate further Clal-Chk models may be on their way.

Well, making miniatures isn't my cuppa tea, but sure we want to see the pix!

After a long hiatus, I finally got around to building and more importantly, publishing another Defiance: Vital Ground army list. This one's inspired by Rackham's AT-43 Red Blok miniatures and other such "neosoviet" minis.

You can find it, as well as a slightly updated Planetary Defence Forces list (them's the megacorporate goons, at least to all the proper colonial socialists) via my DVG site:

I've got no connection to the company so I can't say what their policies are, but there might be some copyright wrangling -- they would want to keep the rights to the sculpts at the least very, I assume, so they may not like the idea of "splitting" the copyright at all.

Other than that, their minimum of 150 figures ordered by 10 people per design does not sound completely unsurmountable (especially assuming the prices are indeed in AU$), although unfortunately it seems the order must be made based on the concept alone.

So, a new job and two new hobbies! Small wonder you haven't gotten the supplement done... Sounds like it's pretty close tho.

In the grand tradition of anything related to Defiance...

Anyway, I'm sure it'll come out when it's done. With luck, a bit sooner

...but we'd have to kill him if he told us?
