The ones with arms built onto the body may be easier, but I love the skinny arms on the original guys.

I dunno, I'm in the midst of assembling an infantry company I bought before the built in arms, and it's a pain. Not really difficult, but time consuming when I've got 60+ Quar without arms. It's taking a while, but they do look good.

Nice work!

I, too, would like to see Quar in 15mm… is this the place to vote?

Hexxenhammer07 Jan 2010 10:05 a.m. PST

They are making Quar in 15mm.

You know, for tubby little aliens with scrawny arms and legs, they do have an odd appeal to them

The first wave of 15mm quar are done… Just waiting on the painter! Soon!

Martian Root Canal07 Jan 2010 11:02 a.m. PST

Oh those 15mm Quar are the bee's knees! Wow :)

Space Monkey07 Jan 2010 11:09 a.m. PST

I love the Quar, like something out of Sunpot or Junkwaffel.
Their mounts are pretty nifty too.

khurasanminiatures07 Jan 2010 11:13 a.m. PST

Yeah Josh, all too true on photographing the little guys! My Chewks are 12mm tall and barely up to a man's chest, and the sculptor is very frustrated because he's getting all these nice effects … and he can't show them to me. Sort of, "trust me, they look good …".

Last rumor i heard for the Quar in 15mm is February. I would half way bet by President's day weekend. That is the date of a large local convention…

Yep … certainly looking forward to checking out 15mm Quar … About how big is that base the 15mm Quar are mounted on, in the pics ? A quarter or more like a .50 cent piece ?

headzombie07 Jan 2010 10:30 p.m. PST

That is a 40mm round base. The 15mm scaled quar are about 11mm tall.

hens that for us Old Worlders?

Grabula08 Jan 2010 6:47 a.m. PST

I'll probably add 15mm Quar to my collection of 15's down the road, but to be honest, I think these guys really need to be gamed with in the larger scale. The detail and uniqueness really pop on the figs. I assembled a unit of the Cav last night and I still can't get over how "real" the mounts look for all their alienness.

@Nigerian Oil Minister – yeah, they can be fiddly. Once I get into a rhythm it seems to go pretty quick. I drill out neck and arms on the body with a pin vise, then go back in with the tip of my hobby knife to widen it out a little. Occasionally a little filing of the arm or neck piece before sliding in and voila!

I haven't seen much of the single piece torsos yet, I only got 1 pack of them and they were basically all the same. That's my only fear is that for all the ease of assembly, I really hope there's some variation in the single piece minis. I think one of the strengths of the line is that the details are some of the best I've seen on miniatures. the sculptor Aaron Brown has a real talent. with the seperate arms and all the bits you get for the figs, you can pretty easily make each individual look pretty unique.

Rothgar08 Jan 2010 7:40 a.m. PST

I've got money put aside for the 15mm Quar. I will be getting them as soon as they are available.

Personal logo Legion 4 Supporting Member of TMP08 Jan 2010 8:20 a.m. PST

Thank you headzombie !! thumbs up 11mm works for me !!

headzombie08 Jan 2010 10:56 a.m. PST

Grabula: There was always a single-single-piece model among the multi-parts. That bag of all the same is two per squad of ten. There were as many of the other four bodies that were multi-part as well. They weren't a preview!
There are currently seven or eight single-piece crusader basic rhyfler bodies.

Grabula08 Jan 2010 1:37 p.m. PST

ooooooh lol, guess I didn't realize that! The poses weren't an issue per se as they mix in nicely, just wanted to make sure there were several poses being made. 7 or 8 is way more than I could have expected lol, sounds fantastic.

President's day weekend

Whens that for us Old Worlders?

Middle of February.

Lowtardog08 Jan 2010 3:52 p.m. PST

Cheers Farstar :)

fitterpete08 Jan 2010 4:33 p.m. PST

I seem to remember seeing these a while ago and thinking they were cool but I didn't have a lot of cash at the time and forgot about it.They are really neat and very different.A little exspensive but wow are they unique!

fitterpete09 Jan 2010 10:14 p.m. PST

Does anyone have a size comparison pic of the 28mm quar next to some other figs? GW,Artizan,Renegade or some other historical figure company? I heard they are supposed to be 22mm to the shoulder I would just like to get a handle on their actual size before I plop down 3 or 4 hundred bucks.
Thanks
and yes I plan on doing them in a big way if they size up

headzombie10 Jan 2010 12:04 a.m. PST

I have a bunch of perry's I could shoot them next to. But yes, they are right around 22mm at the shoulder. PM me here or mail me josh at zombiesmith.com

Lampyridae10 Jan 2010 7:50 a.m. PST

Ohhh, the temptation. 15mm Quar. But first I have to finish my pile of lead from GZG…

headzombie10 Jan 2010 12:43 p.m. PST
