"Khurasan previews NF dollies" Topic

Here are the armless dollies for the major factions in our upcoming near future range--the USMC and Chi-Nippon.

This is the dolly for the United Systems Marine Corp. Depicted here is the hostile environment helmet but the troops will also be available with the standard duty helmet and the light duty helmet (the standard helmet with visor and mandible removed).

Here's their rifle, the FN-SPA:

The chief rivals of the United Systems are the Chi-Nippon. Here's their infantry dolly.

And their rifle, the Niwa-Ko 277:

Also being made now is the dolly for the strange alien invaders who have recently attacked a United Systems settlement in the asteroid belt ….

Lots more coming … stay tuned!

Woot

Those are looking great.

One must object, however, to Marines being referred to as "dollies."

Sweet. Nice new human troops and another upcoming alien release.

-Eli

Call them man-models then, darth….

Really nice! A great start to a range!

Chi-Nippon? China allied with Japan?

Dan

More likely China has engulfed Japan

There's no Chi-Tibet. Why then Chi-Nippon?

Dan

Call them man-models then

Perfect. But we may need a 15mm commander to go with them:

There's no Chi-Tibet. Why then Chi-Nippon?

There there, it's just toy soldiers.

Darth how did you steal that photo of the commander dolly?!?!

These would look great fighting some SAAB Chigs… ;-)

What are those?

Anyway, the human forces have their hands full with the alien Acarines, don't wish other foes on them!

Interesting sculpts there. Looking forward to seeing more.

Where there are grunts, can we assume vehicles too?

Those look great, I'm in for a bunch!

Possibly McWong, although I've been told many of my SF vehicles can double as NF.

With that commander I need a bunch of them! :-)

The US has colonies in the Assteroid Belt? When did that happen?

Very nice those.

Deflatermouse,

Didn't you know? The Assteroid Belt is a second belt, but down closer to Uranus.

Dan :)

By the way, the only thing I have issue with is the hyphenated name of the nation (China to Chi-Nippon), if Japan had been conquered and absorbed. It gives the impression that China is now simply one of two equal and willing partners in the founding of a greater nation, Chi-Nippon.

It would be as if the US had changed its name to PRUSA after the US invaded and absorbed my tiny Puerto Rico in 1898.

Dan

All hail PRUSA!

Hello Dolly!!

They don't look like Babs at all Dwartist

It did until Mike sculpted the helmet on!

Hope to have a preview of the Acarine invader armless dolly soon as well….

You see, DarthFozzyWig you missed a perfect opportunity:

Another dolly leaked!!! I must speak to the sculptor ….

after seeing the usmc guy i am reallly wanting to see the alien guy dolly…..i hope its what i think it is!!!

I like them I will probably get some of them are this to be 20mm?or15mm?.Well I don't like speed of new realises Im just to bloody confused,abut all that new stuuf coming out…with light speed

They're 15s -- that's why I posted them in this forum.

stop with the zardoz pics!!

Most be all veterans, those shown having their arms shot off (smile).

Dan

They're not so tough -- they're completely 'armless!

OMG!!!!!!

I must have those.

Dan

I just added a separate thread for these guys because they might get lost in all the fabio and zardoz….

Look god I will pick them up most of my gaming is near future.

Why don't I just send this man my pay check directly – I can live in a tent when they repossess the house

Lovely

Update --

Above are the first of the Jong-Pac Alliance models made up from the dollies. (I was going to call them Chi-Nippon to show the federation of the two main Asian nations in the new Pacific power but Mike suggested this catchier handle, Jong-Pac or JPA, which combines the old Chinese "middle kingdom" concept with a Pacific focus). These are six rifle poses with the Type 214 Rifle, plus one of the two squad command poses. There will also be two different squad heavy weapons types in two poses each, and (as said) another pose for a squad leader.

One pose for the Acarine alien invaders has been made as well, and I'm very pleased how it came out. The USMC (United Systems Marine Corps) has not been started yet from its dolly, but that will be started up in the next month or so -- I want to get more poses for the Jong-Pac whose dolly I really liked. I also want to get some modern-army poses made too -- North Korean support weapons: a Sagger team, a man with a PK light machine gun, a DshKM team, and a mortar team. Mike can't make everything at the same time, so something's gotta give!

Rather than using tanks, I'm seriously considering using the 20mm heavy combat drones I had designed for the 20mm range (which is still under development) as the tank-equivalents in these ranges. They're already made, after all, and are very handsome designs.
Here's the USMC's Columbiad heavy combat drone:

Troop carriers might be either a VTOL craft, or perhaps APC versions of the drones, with seating compartments rather than heavy armament. Still mulling that over -- VTOL probably makes more sense but players may prefer a vehicle that carries the soldiers right into combat rather than flying them to an insertion point. The Acarine "tank" will be an alien version of these heavy drones for sure, not sure about a troop carrier yet. One thing at a time! That's what I don't do, but should.

Updates as new info becomes available!

i like rhose chinese guys!!!

What Heinz said.

Well done, very nice indeed.

Those particular fellows are Thai, from the Jungle Tiger Division.

they are not chinese?

I only had a couple of Mandarin lectures way back, but shouldn't the Pinyin for 中 be "zhōng"? Hence "Zhōng-Pac"?

Just trying to help (and show a bit off, of course), Chinese proficiency isn't one of my miniature appreciation criteria ;-)

That character I thought is two words "Chung kuo".

I know the above isn't pinyin, my peeps are from Hong Kong circa 1871. We're very rusty in Cantonese.

Either way, the name change is a vast improvement. I and mine may be formerly Chinese by over a century, but we retain all the historical baggage with the Japs.

I adore that vehicle!

Either way, the name change is a vast improvement.

Ah, in that case, it was my idea all along.

The Jong-pac figs are awesome, very Call of Duty Modern Warfare. I want them right after I get done painting all those WSS French you're fixing to release!

Those are coming soon, jtipp!

I can't wait!

I REALLY can't wait for those Jong-Pac! Hurry up!
