Hello,

Taken from:

Khurasan Huntarr

Not on the site….. but as their name implies…. And the detailed description, they're famous aliens.

I myself have the figures. They tower nicely over most 15mm scale humans, looking around 8-9 foot tall against their 5'7"-6'3"ish assumed height. The blast guns are a little bit fiddly and the holes for them didn't cast, but they stick well if you use the right glue. The ones with spears…. I worry that the spears are too fragile, but the metal used is flexible. So, they will absolutely arrived bent to hell, but with some careful work you can bend them back. Just don't count on them being anywhere near perfectly straight though. What else can I say about them…. Nice poses for one. The cannon armed ones may be a little bland, but they're your heavies. You only need a few. Not a big deal. Yeah, that's about it. I'd recommend them. One pack of each pretty well sets you up for an entire force considering what they are and the whole tribal nature.

Now that I finally see pics, I'm putting them on my shopping list.

Ahhh crap will it ever end! more to add to the wants list as i didn't think they were going to be this good but yet again Khurasan have done a superb job on these miniatures. But which pack are the ones pictured in the link from?

TTC-3100 15mm Huntarr Shock Phalanx (x10 in five poses with shock lances and separate energy weapons)

TTC-3101 15mm Huntarr Scouts (x8 in four poses with separate energy weapons)

Those are truly great sets, one of best sculting in 15 mm.

Used them also with 1:72 soldiers, and it worked.

So, they will absolutely arrived bent to hell,

Mine didn't. Guess it just depends on how demanding you are for perfectly straight models all the time. I am an historical gamer and have bought many pike/spear armies and the Khurusan preds with spear are actually straighter than most Scots or Swiss pikes I've received. Then again I'm an old hand at straightening spears so it was a simple matter for me to work it out. Horses for courses.

When I first got them I wasn't sure where those extra bits went, thought perhaps we were expected to eat them. But they are obviously the shoulder mounted plasma gun so I snipped off the mounting rod and glued them straight to the shoulder. Handsome figs and they tower over as the film pred towered over Der Arnold.

Mine arrived without bent spears and the spears hve remained unbent despite travelling around in their original package in my tackle box minis organizer.

My spears were mostly ok. None broken and just a couple bent.

They are really nice figures.

Jeff

Had no broken spears. Like I said, they are bendy. but so far, mine have not seen enough action yet to know if the spears will be too fragile in the end or not. I'm just really iffy on thin spears and antennae and the like.

@avamango – from what i understand the photo shows one from each pack. L-R chieftain scout shock phalanx and tank hunter

Thanks for that info winterborn, hmmm well i don't want or need 18 Huntarrs which is what i would have to buy just to get a couple of each of the miniatures from the Scout and Shock packs,so without sounding to cheeky does anyone have a few spare that they do not need i could offer up other miniatures that i have extras to trade with. Please send me a personal message if anyone is interested, thanks zac

@AVAMANGO I would have offered to take extras off your hands if you bought more than you needed, but twice shippage across the pond seems a bit extreme. ;->=

I'm SURE someone in the UK would make it worth your effort.

Merde, just when Paypal was looking healthy…

Thanks for the photo links,great figure.

I've just received a batch of the Huntarr with spears, which have been comprehensively mangled somewhere in the post. However, at least some of the sculpts are such that the spear can probably be trimmed off without the resulting pose looking too odd. (Though they might look a bit disco. We'll see).

They're nice sculpts though, so I think they'll be worth the work – I'll just stick to the ones without spears in any future orders.
