"Any Plans To Expand GZG's 15mm Alien Mercenaries?" Topic

Does anyone know if GZG has plans to make more poses of these guys?

I hope so, they are awesome!

Watch this space, CC…… ;-)

Wow. That sounds promising. I love the Alien Mercs, and i'd definatly buy extra poses.

Can you expand them into 28mm?

Cool, can't wait to see pics.

Thanks,

John

I'll second the request for expansion to 25mm.

I have too many 25mm NAC/NSL troops and vehicles to change scale now. Which is a shame, as some of the new vehicles would be a definite buy if in 25!

Well, by expansion I mean MORE poses of the EXISTING 15mm, which is my primary focus this year.

I've got two packs worth, and the main thing holding me back from buying a few more to build a larger force is the lack of options. I would certainly be buying more if more were available. It's great to know that /something/ is planned!

Fullerena,

I feel exactly like you do. I bought two packs too (one when they first came out, and another more recently).

But, the moment I see them get more 15mm poses, I will certainly get a lot more.

I think picked up 3-4 packs and would like to see some others packs. Gotta love all the new 15mm stuff!

Thanks,

John

I hope GZG brings them out before I finish basing what I already Have. More poses are a must!
These Mercs are so cool, they deserve more.
And I think they deserve some vehicles tailored to them.

Cheers

OK, I can now give you an "exclusive" – Ben has just done 3 more sculpts for us (conversions of the original three poses), to make a second pack – they just arrived in the mail this morning, which is why I had to be a little bit cryptic yesterday; I didn't want to announce anything until the packet was safely here!
I hope to get them in a mould later in the week (along with some other new stuff that I've been working on myself), and they should then be available very shortly after that…. :-)

Jon (GZG)

Sweet!

AWESOME!!!

Jon, you rock!

Rock On!!

Damn it Jon!……

Can I come over and do yard work? It has been a long poor summer……

YES !!!!

Good news, soon we'll have man galore!

What are the conversions like? Same poses with different weapons? Arm changes to modify weapon positions?

Arm/head/weapon re-works, enough to make them look significantly different from the original poses. Preview pics in a few days!

Jon (GZG)

Excellent! Looking forward to the pics.

Jon seems to anticipate many of our wants!

:-D

Looking forward to the pics.

Thanks,

John

I am convinced that Jon is actually a visitor from the future who uses his knowledge of the future to figure out what we will want before we know we want it.

"I am convinced that Jon is actually a visitor from the future who uses his knowledge of the future to figure out what we will want before we know we want it."

If that was the case, I think I'd just have played the right lottery numbers by now, instead of working 36 hours a day trying to make a living in the miniatures business…. <GRIN>

My maxim has always been "if I was the customer instead of the manufacturer, would I want to buy this stuff?" If the answer is yes, then I make it. Thankfully, that has seemed to work most of the time! ;-)

Jon (GZG)

Great news. And rather than start yet another thread saying how great GZG customer service is I'll just say I ordered some stuff on Sunday and it arrived on Tuesday. I sometimes think Jon just delivers his goods himself, disguised as a postie. It would certainly explain the consistent speed of delivery.

How about the other aliens Jon has? the Ixx? I've already started looking into scratch building some vehicles for them. Would be great if that line expanded too. Not to mention revising the other troop types like he has with the new NAC. Being heavily invested in the UNSC I'm squirming with hope.

Skyray,

I am sure that such things are on his workbench.

Thanks for the preview sculpts Jon! Excellent, truly excellent! Brimming with character.

Will post on Dropship Horizon tomorrow.

If I can pick a paintjob – I'll even paint them tomorrow – they just cry out to hit the games table asap!

New figs moulded and cast, up for sale very soon – as Mark mentioned, I dropped a couple of samples into his order the other day, so he'll probably get them up on DH long before they hit our own website! ;-)

Jon (GZG)

Here they are: link

Lovely!

Thanks again Jon!

Cheers

I love the fact that a second set is about to be released!!!

From what I can see in these two Dropship photos, it seems like the two sets go perfectly together:

I'm most definitely going to order them, when they're ready to buy!

QUESTION:

Do you guys think that this ship would fit well with them?

auction

I'm thinking of having it as a crash landed piece, with the GZG alien mercenaries pouring out to kick some butt of anyone that comes to investigate.

What do you say? Too big? Too small? Not the right style?

Thanks.
