Rebel Minis continued their trend of "sneaking" new minis onto their site in the dead of night. New up are the "Cybernetic Autonomous Troopers":
rebelminis.com/eafoma.html
and some new additions to their modern law enforcement range & post apoc ranges:

Sneaky Devils!

Hopefully the "Titan Command" and modern "PLA Command" sets are just around the corner.

Uesugi,

Rebel Mike did post a thread about it.

Don't confuse the issue with facts.

In Kenshin's defense, Mike has slipped a number of things in before, so it would not have been a first time.

That he has. For someone who sells such good minis, you think he'd announce them all with a bit more fanfare than he does.

Now it's off to find some more 40k stuff to sell so I can buy these new goodies. :)

Hot stuff – but yeah, those command packs would be even hotter. :)

"Rebel Mike did post a thread about it."

My miss! I do forget to check the "SF discussion" board these days since the invention of the 15mm specific board.

"Don't confuse the issue with facts."

Lol.


Nice new minis though. I agree BWS, I'm checking the site almost daily for those Command sets.

Gunner Dunbar04 Jun 2011 11:41 p.m. PST

They look good, haven't ordered from Rebel yet, when I do they will be in the order.

So many minis….

Drakken5211 Jun 2011 7:18 a.m. PST

Ummmmm…got to get them. Titan Marines with SAWs would be nice.

"Titan Marines with SAWs would be nice."

DUDE…couldnt agree more. I just got my first Marines this week and I'm sitten there tryin to figure how I'm gonna convert one into a SAW.

They really need to add a SAW pack. They already have a Command Pack in the pipeline so maybe a 4 pack with 2x SAW poses and 2x multiple barrel grenade launchers guys (or somethin).

REBEL MINIS ?

i am loving the cats!!

Lampyridae11 Jun 2011 11:24 a.m. PST

I just wish they would release more support weapons for the packs they've already released.

28mmMan11 Jun 2011 2:12 p.m. PST

Is it just me or does anyone else see Space Marine in these CATs?

28mmMan11 Jun 2011 4:12 p.m. PST

And I mean to say, I would use these for space marines because I like them

Cyborgs more to it…brain case hidden deep within the armored chest.

"Titan Marines with SAWs would be nice."

I always thought the Titan Marines standard weapon was something like a SAW; bigger than an assault rifle but smaller than a team operated MG/canon.

On topic – the CATs look nice. I still need to get some of the HAMRs too.

That too Sir! But after the Titan Command and SAW packs ;-)

"I always thought the Titan Marines standard weapon was something like a SAW; bigger than an assault rifle but smaller than a team operated MG/canon."

Agreed. They look pretty much like a light machinegun, but they still need a heavier suppressive fire weapon in the squad (be it a SAW, grenade launcher or plasma rifle) to round out a traditional fireteam makeup IMHO.

Lion in the Stars12 Jun 2011 12:28 p.m. PST

Well, in my world, the Titan Marines basic weapon is an MG42… Kerberos Panzer Cops, just the thing to suppress those anti-establishment terrorists.

clkeagle12 Jun 2011 4:07 p.m. PST

I've always assumed the Titans carry an assault rifle with a drum magazine, something like this: picture

Back on topic… I'm going to try using the CATs as the heavy weapons in squads of Earthforce Drop Troopers. The CATs respond to voice or touch commands from any squad member, and any other squad leader can "reassign" them as it becomes necessary in battle.

It seemed like a fun way to use the new CATs, and get the new Droptroopers to the table without heavy weapon packs.
