Those look very nice!

Glad to see they are coming out with new ones so quickly.

Would love to see the bag-pipe type weapon too, eventually.

Top Gun Ace14 Nov 2009 9:01 p.m. PST

Oh, I almost forgot.

Would love to see some Crusties in Battle Armor released as well.

I can't seem to find pics of them right now on-line, but have seen some before. They looked superb.

These are too cool! Really well done.

Thanks,

John

One for my Xmas stocking for sure!

Top Gun Ace15 Nov 2009 12:11 a.m. PST

Here's what they look like in Battle Armor:

Would love to see some of those by Christmas too, or early next year.

Mark: "Available Soon"

Yes, but how soon???

CC: Up on the store in the next couple of days, all being well, along with a couple more surprises! ;-)

I always like Jon's surprises, since they are usually quite good…..

Cacique Caribe15 Nov 2009 9:42 a.m. PST

Awesome!!!

Thanks.

Crusties? -I was expecting a load of dreadlocked geezers with multiple piercings and green eared dogs on string leads.

"Crusties? -I was expecting a load of dreadlocked geezers with multiple piercings and green eared dogs on string leads."

Heheh! No, Crusties is the human troops' derogatory nickname for this otherwise-unnamed race, due to their very crustacean-like physiology…. however in general they are much less unpleasant and have better personal hygiene than the kind of Crusty you're thinking of! ;-)

Loving the figs there Jon!

I think this is my new favorite alien of yours, bumping the Ixx down a notch.

Will we be seeing battlesuits for these Bleeped texts? If not I have some ideas for good alternate models though I'm a bit stumped for what to use for vehicles, though the Kra'Vak vehicles or the high-tech grav vehicles might work nicely.

YES! VERY NICE!

Mehoy Nehoy15 Nov 2009 7:46 p.m. PST

A great beginning for a new line of minis. Emu2020 – For air support, I'm considering Old Crow's Theta grav tank.

Perhaps it's finally time for a GZG 15mm mech to go with these chaps?

Cacique Caribe19 Dec 2009 12:46 a.m. PST

Do you guys think that GZG Crusties or Spriggan Spugs would benefit from having a beast of burden or two?

Guys,

Check out this illustration I just found, of a "Selenite":

Similar body style as the Crusties. Love the extra arms though.

Curse your thread necromancy, I was hoping Jon had released more figs! :) GZG's been quiet lately – must be busy getting set up after the move? Hope we see some new stuff soon – or the Japanese FT ships back, at least.

Lampyridae14 Jul 2010 7:54 a.m. PST

Drat, I thought the same thing.

Eli Arndt14 Jul 2010 9:05 a.m. PST

ditto!

I met a guy named John yesterday, so I'm going to dig up every old John Carter thread that's ever been posted here … and mention that I met a guy named John yesterday, the SAME name as the GUY in the book!!!

Especially the threads titled:

News on upcoming John Carter movie (last post: Feb 2006)
New line of John Carter models (last post: Dec 2004)

grin

Cacique Caribe14 Jul 2010 12:17 p.m. PST

Sure. Certainly not the same thing, but …

Go for it! Knock yourself out.

Cacique Caribe16 Jul 2010 9:12 p.m. PST

This one here looks like a Crustie's giant cousin:

I would love for that to be done as a figure.
