"Rebel Minis: Blog Update with new Pics" Topic

I have updated my Bog with a great piece on a new engineered super soldier pack. Check it out here:

Thanks!

That is very cool. Great background.

Looking forward to seeing those with some anticipation.

Tim

I want those!!!!!

Dan

Very cool.

Those look great Mike. They show up much better now with a coat of paint.

Jeff

"I want those!!!!!"
Me too.
I think this just jumped ahead of the ARC Troops in my "Must Have" list.
Very cool… very PigIron-esque! The multiple poses lend a very striking army as well.

Ditto I want, I want to kitbash them with the Scourge.

ME WANNTEEE!!!!!

Those guys are great. Love the guns, the armor, and the poses. They're definitely must haves.

Shawn.

Impressive! I'll add those to the list.

OK ditto on the great sculpting and design. That almost goes without saying now for a Rebel product.

I *LOVE* the background. Detailed, interesting, but also doesn't leave the minis inextricably tied to the setting.

So, when can I order them "new engineered super soldiers"?

Dan

Yeah, when can we order them and the Titan Marine support weapon teams?

*Applause* This background has to be one of the most sensible, realistic and well-thought-out 'fluff' pieces for some time – and as a biologist, I have to say I find no major problems with it, apart from the solid thoracic shell and breathing, that is a worry :) Not sure how good a being with no adreanl reactuions ( Emotional respones being just a part of that package ) would do in combat, but as an idea for a comabt unit with really non-human morale and responses, this would work excellently on the table. to you guys for these – Great sculpts as well!

More importantly, though – What about the 6mm vehicles? :)

What I also like is that their morale makes them different-- specialized for some roles but not others. They certainly don't replace human troops-- especially spec ops soldiers who are selected for brains and judgment.

Hopefully, we'll see maintenance/construction niners ("niner miners" designed for colonial work. Then I can kit-bash my kibble dispenser for their lunch breaks!

You can thank John Bear Ross.. with some imput from Jeff, on the background. He did an outstanding job!

Any chance we can get 5150 stats on these guys? My EF Marines might need the extra muscle against the Sahadeen.

I think that the Rebel super soldiers are going to be my Umbrella Corp guys:

I'm very grateful to Mike for putting these long-awaited sculpts into production. Credit goes to Angie Portman for the figs, and Jeff for pointing out the obvious in my writing.

Best,

Also, some shots of the Greens are up at my blog.

BEAUTIFUL Greens!!!

Absolutely stunning.

I am really itching to order them now. Just say when!

Dan

Yaeh, really nice looking green.

Tgunner, why not use the Symons stats? Similar (though not exact) concepts should result in similar stats. Tweak as needed.

It's what I'll do.

Tim

Yeah, that is what I was thinking. The Symons look pretty close. Maybe a special rule for the human 'officer'.
