We are very pleased to release our latest line of 15mm miniatures, I Expect You to Die, a 60s superspy range. Released today are all the models you need to get started.
The first pack is the superspies and female sidekicks themselves -- Stock
John Stock; Smoochy Toyota, Reginald Stallion (with sword umbrella) and Mrs. Rind.
To menace the world and require correction we have a set of supervillains as well, and their chief henchmen: Copia Spoon, Irma Klunk (with shoe blade!), Handywork and his killer bowler, Sterling Silvertoe, Hans Demetrios Brugger (with Mr. Whiskers), and the perfect assassin White Lee.
Finally to add mass to the supervillains' forces are the henchmen, in their colourful boilersuits, armed with submachine guns. These are definitely the "Hordes" in your HoTT Supervillain army! (Painted in camo or more sedate colours these would have all sorts of other uses as well.) Thanks to Steve Dean for his brushwork on these. Available now at the link below. link |

LawOfTheGun mk2 | 16 Oct 2013 9:53 a.m. PST |
No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die! ;-) Great minis for a neglected niche (at least in 15mm). |

I'm going to have to really get started on my painting so I can make room for these, plus many more
.. If only I had the energy to work and play the same hours I did only 10 years ago

Now I am disappointed !!! Where is Evil giant chineese man with razorblade hat ???? |
MacSparty | 16 Oct 2013 11:06 a.m. PST |
Very cool! Once again, I am tempted by something I didn't even know I wanted. |

"Where is Evil giant chineese man with razorblade hat ????" -- hey mister does your seeing-eye dog bite??? :-D |

Where is Evil giant chineese man with razorblade hat ???? You mean Handywork and his killer bowler? Second row, third from the left. |

Not to mention, Odd Job was Korean, not Chinese. Kids these days don't know their history! Very nice minis, Khurasan, especially for 15mm. |
Tango India Mike | 16 Oct 2013 11:47 a.m. PST |
Nice. Especially the henchmen. |
khurasanminiatures | 16 Oct 2013 12:02 p.m. PST |
By the way, the actor who played Oddjob was 1.78 meters tall (5'10"). That has no relevance to this miniature range, of course, the mention is purely academic. |

Great stuff for 15mm gamers. |
TheRatGod | 16 Oct 2013 12:22 p.m. PST |
khurasan you disapoint me
.now my evil genius, his head henchmen, chief minion, and minions still cannot take over the world
.. They lack the token mad scientist who makes all the crazy weapons |
khurasanminiatures | 16 Oct 2013 12:33 p.m. PST |
So in other words, "you spent $2,000 USD, spend another $1,000 USD and then we'll talk." |

TheRatGod | 16 Oct 2013 1:25 p.m. PST |

not mad scientist geeze. |
deflatermouse | 16 Oct 2013 2:28 p.m. PST |
Need a candy machine.
I know there are heaps of them availabe. More importantly, money for it. Make sure you have new notes and the fellow in the Tux doesn't have any quarters.

Just placed my first ever order with Khurasan on the basis of these. 15mm 7TV ahead! |
The Dozing Dragon | 16 Oct 2013 5:04 p.m. PST |
I picked up the Tom Meier sculpts off Khurusan recently and can vouch for smooth internation ordering. I will certainly pick these guys up when funds permit! |
Etranger | 16 Oct 2013 5:09 p.m. PST |
Sigh
. add to the next order

republic of tolworth | 16 Oct 2013 5:27 p.m. PST |
Joy! I've just finished making my 7tv boards. Perfect timing. Now to sort an order. |
deflatermouse | 16 Oct 2013 5:49 p.m. PST |
Are we able to buy the Ninjas (sight unseen) also? |

Joep123 | 16 Oct 2013 7:40 p.m. PST |
fun range
.now what rules to use them with? Joe |
khurasanminiatures | 16 Oct 2013 8:04 p.m. PST |
Apparently 7TV is very popular! We Could Be Heroes 2 gets mentioned sometimes too

War Monkey | 16 Oct 2013 9:55 p.m. PST |

Barks1 | 16 Oct 2013 11:37 p.m. PST |
Brilliant range. So many possibilities: Austen Powers? Basil Exposition? Foxxy Cleopatra? Dr Evil? ISIS? Harry Palmer? George Smiley? |
AWuuuu | 17 Oct 2013 3:36 a.m. PST |
Heinz Good Aryan I refuse to accept this one.. he is not enough square for the job !!
|
hurrahbro | 17 Oct 2013 8:44 a.m. PST |
I Expect that next we will see some men from Ankle! ;) |
Heinz Good Aryan | 17 Oct 2013 8:46 a.m. PST |
"I refuse to accept this one.. he is not enough square for the job !!" ha ha it looks just like him. fact is it looks like a 28mm model of him!!! |
Saginaw | 17 Oct 2013 5:37 p.m. PST |
Khurasan Miniatures, you guys are like the Willy Wonka of miniatures! EXCELLENT releases!! |
No Such Agency | 19 Oct 2013 5:42 p.m. PST |
"those are just scientist
not mad scientist geeze." The difference is as narrow as a malfunctioning coffee maker on Monday morning. Nice figs. |
deflatermouse | 19 Oct 2013 11:54 p.m. PST |
You DO know that Hans Demetrios Brugger is just a puppet operted with rods & wires by Mr. Whiskers. |
Mad Mecha Guy | 20 Oct 2013 2:34 a.m. PST |
Very Very nice, admittedly not got use for them myself but still nice. Are we getting mad scientist in scrap built power armoured suit? |
khurasanminiatures | 20 Oct 2013 9:38 a.m. PST |
He's more millennial than 60s! |
Louie N | 03 Nov 2013 7:02 p.m. PST |
I just saw this model from Fantastic plastic and I thought of some great gaming possibilities with this line of miniatures. link
"All my wargames end this way." |
Mad Mecha Guy | 04 Nov 2013 9:57 a.m. PST |
Are we going to get the matching figures for the enemy overlord female accomplices, the ones in either bikinis, scantily clad clothing/mini skirts or tracksuits. Or his fit bodyguard/watchladies; slambi & stomper (not used real names so don't in trouble from certain film companies). Regards MMG. |
deflatermouse | 22 Nov 2013 3:35 a.m. PST |
Thank you Louie N for the link. Most excellent. Will have to save for that. I realised there's no villains with eyepatchs. Such as
and the expensive evil robots look like this
and (personal opinion) the most evil person
|
deflatermouse | 22 Nov 2013 1:21 p.m. PST |
I suppose I should list it here although I'm not sure if it's relevant.
TMP link She IS wearing an eyepatch. |
Twoball Cane | 22 Nov 2013 1:26 p.m. PST |
I couldn't tell she was wearing a patch.. |

I think Khurasan's scientists would fit perfectly as they are. It can be a thin line between scientist (For Science!!) and evil scientist. Surely the difference is end user? Like these guys: YouTube link who do it "what if we just
" If you think of the guy "Oh look!! I just made a big bomb which splits atoms. Now, what could we use
.uhoh
" and compare him to the guy from Phineas and Pherb. Or Dr Moreau. Is the difference just he's stepped over into enduser? As the rest of us know (& I keep telling my son) is "Just be we can do something, does that mean we should?". I think Khurasan's scientists and the NKPA in Ushankas fit perfectly as they are into this range. Is it possible to crosslink/reference them on the website? |
Lion in the Stars | 23 Nov 2013 10:45 a.m. PST |
Are we getting mad scientist in scrap built power armoured suit? He's more millennial than 60s!
Only the movie version. The original was a Vietnam-era ambush/booby trap. |
khurasanminiatures | 23 Nov 2013 10:51 a.m. PST |
Still doesn't fit with the spy-fi vibe. That's a comic book character, right? |
