YIKES!!! :D

Who's going to carry these in the U.S.?

… or maybe I DON'T want to know. :P :)

DAKRommel26 Sep 2011 11:42 a.m. PST

Amazing. I will be purchasing several of each pack. Are there any plans for additional figures if these do well?

Gunner Dunbar26 Sep 2011 11:42 a.m. PST

Man o man, these look good, will be buying a small pile of these.

cloudcaptain26 Sep 2011 11:58 a.m. PST

I am hoping that Pico Armor will sneak this into their lineup for those of us in the States.

Spooner626 Sep 2011 12:02 p.m. PST

Oh nice. If Pico Armor imports these I will be placing an order with them soon there after.

Chris

Eli Arndt26 Sep 2011 12:02 p.m. PST

Nice minis. Very much like.

BTW, what are the heavy rifles armed with? Is that a rifle with grenade launcher?

-Eli

Von Trinkenessen26 Sep 2011 1:42 p.m. PST

Great looking Marcin!!
Would love to have some vehicle crew/commander half figures in the range.

Allen5726 Sep 2011 1:46 p.m. PST

Just Great. I refuse to go over to 15mm SF since I have too many25/28s. Now the only guy producing new 1/600 aircraft starts putting out 15mm. There goes a big chunk of my hobby.

AVAMANGO26 Sep 2011 1:50 p.m. PST

Very sexy…..

Splod8926 Sep 2011 3:13 p.m. PST

Oh god yes. I want them now, they're the perfect opposition for my Khurasan Federals :)

nothing26 Sep 2011 3:57 p.m. PST

That's impresive work.

macconermaoile26 Sep 2011 4:50 p.m. PST

Get them and some Khurasan Red eagle tanks, and some hedgehog apc's. PERFECT !!

Mako1126 Sep 2011 6:21 p.m. PST

Very nice.

Would love to see some more action poses too, e.g. more troops firing their weapons, prone troops, running troops, etc.

Looks like grenade launchers under the barrels of the rifles to me.

Psyckosama26 Sep 2011 6:51 p.m. PST

Very nice!

Eli Arndt26 Sep 2011 7:25 p.m. PST

What makes those Heavy Rifles different from the regular rifles?

-Eli

the trojan bunny26 Sep 2011 8:30 p.m. PST

These look damn nice. I especially love the SAW gunners. Gonna have to get a platoon of these chaps. Any idea when they will be released?

delta6ct26 Sep 2011 8:38 p.m. PST

Very cool.

Mike

Splod8926 Sep 2011 9:32 p.m. PST

Love the SAW, although I suspect it would need some pretty powerful stabilisers to fire with any accuracy. There's a reason you fire from the shoulder… ;)

ROUWetPatchBehindTheSofa26 Sep 2011 11:51 p.m. PST

Very nice – I foresee an order being placed

AVAMANGO27 Sep 2011 12:04 a.m. PST

Ahhhhh Vistula is Klingon for Polish. ;) seriously these are going to sell like hot cakes, the poses are great and there are enough different troops to make up a platoon, and they are ready just in time for the release of Tomorrows war.

marcin250127 Sep 2011 1:56 a.m. PST

Miniatures should be soon available from Fighting 15s – Picoarmor will get them too a little later.
Heavy rifles are kind of combi-weapon – standard assault rifle mated with heavier (let's say 20 mm) gun. Could work like light AT weapon.
More additional sets in preparation.

Marcin

Eclipsing Binaries27 Sep 2011 2:10 a.m. PST

Any chance we can see these alongside other figures for size comparison?

marcin250127 Sep 2011 3:25 a.m. PST

Well – they are only 15mm SF I have…

Von Trinkenessen27 Sep 2011 4:30 a.m. PST

Heavy rifles = anti Power Armour rifles??

ethasgonehome27 Sep 2011 4:53 a.m. PST

I should be able to add them to the site tonight. The parcel has arrived from Poland, but I am on the Isle of Wight's equivalent of the moon getting my car MOT'd and serviced. Which means I am marooned… Ian

Eli Arndt27 Sep 2011 7:45 a.m. PST

Could always use Heavy Infantry as infantry with some sort of "power gun" ala Hammer's Slammers.

-Eli

AVAMANGO27 Sep 2011 7:59 a.m. PST

The Heavy Rifles look like they are equipped with rotary grenade launchers, great for laying down a curtain of smoke or suppressive fire, how sweet is that…..

Eli Arndt27 Sep 2011 8:08 a.m. PST

I have to say I like the variety of weapons here. It's a pretty auspicious release and a bold move to throw out so much on a first release. I think the designs.

OOOooo…..just realized you mentioned additional stuff being worked on.

-Eli

John Siewenie Sponsoring Member of TMP27 Sep 2011 10:56 a.m. PST

Gentlemen,

Our stocking order is on its way.

John

AVAMANGO27 Sep 2011 12:02 p.m. PST

I hope to see a few blow up photos, ive just added Fighting 15's shop to my fav's list with anticipation of placeing a order. :)

Eli Arndt27 Sep 2011 12:09 p.m. PST

I hope your order was big, John!

BTW, if anybody complains about weapons variety or pose vaierty on this release I will find you and give you a sound scowling! grin

-Eli

ethasgonehome27 Sep 2011 12:22 p.m. PST

Up in the Fighting 15s shop now! link

No pix of the Spaceworms or reporters as yet from Marcin.

Based on the popularity of other 15mm SF figures I sell, and because I think the sculpts are fantastic, I have stocked a lot of the New Vistula Legion. However, it is conceivable that I may run out. I am sure that Marcin will welcome a re-order though. :-)

Ian

Barks127 Sep 2011 10:35 p.m. PST

I like the way you can buy packs by weapon, as opposed to a 'squad' bundle. I look forwards to more heavy weapon options.

marcin250128 Sep 2011 3:16 a.m. PST

And here are reporters:

von pumpernickel28 Sep 2011 4:20 a.m. PST

Thats an order placed to bring some to Kabul :)

khurasanminiatures28 Sep 2011 4:46 a.m. PST

Those are great! I have the OO teutonics and they are excellent.

McBane28 Sep 2011 6:10 a.m. PST

Anyone in the US carry these?

Or plan on getting them?

Eli Arndt28 Sep 2011 6:59 a.m. PST

Excellent looking reporter figures. I like what looks like local militia as security. I suppose you could paint her in khakis or fatigues and pass her off as more of a merc or private security.

-Eli

Eli Arndt28 Sep 2011 7:27 a.m. PST

McBane PicoArmor picoarmor.com/pages/home.php is in the US.

(I make fun of others)28 Sep 2011 8:16 a.m. PST

Quite like the sculpting on these though I think they are more NF than SF per se. There's nothing about them that says SF.

Nothing wrong with that of course!

The only quibble is the SAW being held like a chainsaw. I think that's fine for aliens who may behave differently than humans, but humans tend to lie down when shot at. How is is possible to lie down and fire a chainSAW? wink

Eli Arndt28 Sep 2011 9:10 a.m. PST

My god Porfirio, I think we actually agree! grin

-Eli

McBane28 Sep 2011 10:31 a.m. PST

Thanks Emu

Eli Arndt28 Sep 2011 10:41 a.m. PST

@McBane – You're welcome.

Call me Eli, Emu's my avatar grin

-Eli

marcin250128 Sep 2011 10:53 a.m. PST

Reporters are indeed not much SF, but I like them that way – they could work for current times too. Female figure is carrying photo camera – she's not a security ;)
I know that firing chainSAW when laying down could be difficult, but it looks so cool ;)

Marcin

Eli Arndt28 Sep 2011 11:05 a.m. PST

Marcin,

Perhaps later you can add a more conventional SAW?

-Eli

(I make fun of others)28 Sep 2011 1:29 p.m. PST

Reporters are indeed not much SF, but I like them that way – they could work for current times too.

Just in case there's any confusion here, I meant all the figures, not just the reporters. But as I also said, there's nothing wrong with models looking straight NF. Especially when so nicely sculpted.

Eli Arndt28 Sep 2011 2:11 p.m. PST

I got the point, man and I agree.

-Eli

(I make fun of others)28 Sep 2011 2:16 p.m. PST

I was responding to the sculptor, actually.

Splod8928 Sep 2011 2:55 p.m. PST

Guys, this is sci-fi. Those SAW's would have some significant stabilisers and inertial dampeners in order to allow them do function ;)
I'd rather see another range of figures than a re-release of the sculpts people don't like in this range. I'll convert up a sniper from one of the rifle figs and that's everything I need. On that note what's next? :)
