If you want this to be a Poll, then put it on the Poll Suggestions board (hint: that's what it's for). |

Sorry, but the Iron storm is several years old and hardly classifies as new for 2008. Jeff |
| Connard Sage | 31 Jan 2009 8:28 a.m. PST |
Well, this one's got off to a flying start hasn't it? :) |
| Earl of the North | 31 Jan 2009 8:44 a.m. PST |
Bill started the rest through….it should really be "Best New Sci-Fi vehicle of 2008". But it's not offical anyway……. But, if your forcing me: VTOL Mantis – GZG |
 Dentatus   | 31 Jan 2009 8:58 a.m. PST |
For 2008? The GZG Mantis, hands down. |
| JRacel | 31 Jan 2009 10:11 a.m. PST |
I like the Mantis as well! Jeff |

| Earl of the North | 31 Jan 2009 12:28 p.m. PST |

Earl, Im not sure its worth putting into a competition for "best sci fi miniature" as its not going to get anywhere against small inch hich figurines. However, as contender for best vehcile I think it may have a chance! |
| Earl of the North | 31 Jan 2009 2:29 p.m. PST |
True, unfortunately there isn't a best vehicle category. To quote our esteemed editor: Could we have a separate catagory for vehicles?Not for the official TMP Awards, sorry.
My personal opinon, there should be and I'd say your huntsman spider would have a very good chance of winning…but there isn't.
John
PS also true that the probable winner will be a 28mm miniature. I love your stuff by the way, hopefully i'll be able to order some vehicle parts soon for my conversions. |

GZG Mantis. That thing is sweet.

The Mantis, though if we can nominate a runner-up the Syram Merlin from Reaper is a way sweet dropship for 6mm ( Yeah, they *say* it's 10mm . . . But that cockpit is better for a 6mm figure and the ship neatly takes an Old Crow shipping container ). |

The plastic baneblade by the evil empire. Love em or hate em they do make nice figures. |
| Pictors Studio | 31 Jan 2009 10:31 p.m. PST |
I was going to mention their ork battlewagon or whatever that massive truck thing that the orks got towards the end of the year. That is one sweet piece of kit. |

I dont think we ever mentioned our Grymn Attack Craft here…although I would suppose it would qualify as 2009 as it isnt released yet?

I actually like the GZG High-Tech Light Grav Tank. A very nice looking vehicle. |

I gotta go with GZG Mantis VTOL too. It's a great mini. (Can we have it in 6mm Jon? Pleeeease?) |
| CMikeHardy | 19 Feb 2009 5:53 p.m. PST |
As much as I would like to go with the flow and vote for the Mantis, because it is a sweet little mini… I just don't own it. I do however, LOVE the GZG Phalanx in 15mm. Sure, it's a rehash of the older one. But, it did come out in '08, so there you go. Cheers! |

I thought it was some sort of dumpster/tip.

GZG V15-43A: High-tech Grav Light Tank But V15-42B: Bulldog 4-wheel HMTV closed-back Command Post version (with choice of 2 comms arrays) comes close. Cheers
