Doug from em4 is re-releasing the spacelords sci-fi range. He'd like to hear which of the following sets you'd like to see cast up next:

i, The balance of the battle clones, realistically these will take two weeks.

ii, The remaining adventurers with possibly the personalities as well.

iii, Cyber tech jet bikes

You can see pics of the various ranges here:

I'm torn between the adventurers/personalities and the jet bikes – they're such great sets, I want them both.

TwinMirror21 Jun 2014 9:38 a.m. PST

Forgot to mention that choices ii and iii should take 1 week to cast up; the battle-clones take longer because there are so amny of them…there are some awesome troopers in that range, too.

Tough choices!

Chef Lackey Rich Fezian21 Jun 2014 10:24 a.m. PST

Battle-clones get my vote.

robots

TwinMirror21 Jun 2014 11:47 a.m. PST

Mkultra, I like the robots too, but Doug specified that there are three possibilities for the next batch of casting: battle clones; adventurers/personalities; or Cyber tech jet bikes.
Sorry if my initial post didn't make that clear.

On balance, i think I'm aiming towards jet bikes, but the adventurers and personalities would be very welcome too.

There are some real gems amongst the remaining battle-clones to be released, but I'm sure they'll come out sooner or later – so long as we coninue to support Doug's efforts!

I was just curious about what would come next when I read the OP, but after looking at the linked site I have to say I really like the C3291 Walker, all the Imperial Robots, and the Cybertech tank. I'm not sure if any of those will ever see the light of day again, and know they were definitely not among the original posters options, but they are nice…

The Beast Rampant21 Jun 2014 2:37 p.m. PST

Which ones were the space-goatmen, again?

TwinMirror21 Jun 2014 2:54 p.m. PST

Beast: the space-goatmen are the phagon beastmen – though some are listed as out of stock on em4's site, Doug has 'em all in personal stock – you can PM him about it.

optional field: the walkers are great models, agreed. the current poll is only for what Doug casts next week; I'm sure he'll be casting up more stuff after that. Given how there's a lot of enthusiasm (especially over on Lead Adventure Forum) for this project, it's entirely feasible the walkers, robots etc, will be cast up again. If people support these early waves of the relauch, you will probably get those models down the line!

One more vote for the battle clones.

Calico Bill21 Jun 2014 3:38 p.m. PST

Battle clones….Then other cyberteck wartechs.

D A THB21 Jun 2014 4:03 p.m. PST

I really like those Grav Speeders, but am confused about which models are the battle clones. I am assuming its the Cyber Tech range?

I will check out Lead Adventure as I seem to have missed that thread.

jpattern221 Jun 2014 6:34 p.m. PST

Adventurers and personalities.

gavandjosh0222 Jun 2014 12:04 a.m. PST

Adventurers and prsonalities

TwinMirror22 Jun 2014 2:59 a.m. PST

D A:

battle-clones are phagon aliens, and look like this:

cyber tech are human soldiers, and look like this:

Compiling the list here with the one on LAF, so far, Adventurers and personalities are way out in lead position. Fine by me; I'm hoping the grav bikes come next, and then…phagon battle-beasts please!

TwinMirror22 Jun 2014 4:05 a.m. PST

I should probably explain that Doug began the relaunch by casting up 4 sets of phagon battle clones which, along with teh current 2 sets on em4, makes 18 battle clone figures available now.

So to me it seems more interesting to cast up a different set like the adventurers or the jet bikes, than more battle clones for the time being.

BlackWidowPilot Fezian22 Jun 2014 10:23 a.m. PST

From the list, the jet bikes. From the series, the rest of the Yoyodyne ashigaru and the Sardaykyn Legion powered armor troops, yes, please!evil grin

Thanks to the two helpful gents for pointing out the battle clones for me. It would seem to be best to finish that line off first.

TwinMirror23 Jun 2014 4:21 a.m. PST

I have a strong feeling that, depsite a resurgence in the battle clone vote, the adventurers are still in the lead adn most likely to becoem this week's castings!

But I suspect that it won't be too long before some more battle clones are ready to reave the cosmos…

TwinMirror23 Jun 2014 5:38 a.m. PST

Ok, the votes are in (TMP and LAF), and Doug says that this week's casting will be the adventurers and personalities.

The adventurers won by a margin, so following their release, the casting order should be: Grav-bikes (cybertech), then more battle clones and my personal favourite – the giant biotech phagon battle-beasts!

So everyone who voted will be getting what they want in the next few weeks, with cybertech ground forces looking pretty likely soon after that…and the more people that buy some of the current castings, the more likely those cybertech and battle clones are to appear.

Watch this space for updates, and there may well be another poll in the next few weeks. Democracy in action!

I want to have the Overlords (Brotherhood) Miniatures. evil grin

But unfortunately I have to wait ……

TwinMirror05 Jul 2014 11:40 a.m. PST

By the great old ones, those overlords are SUPERB!
They just scream perfect 'alien galactic overlords'…

I must have them all as soon as possible!

BlackWidowPilot Fezian05 Jul 2014 1:39 p.m. PST

I never even knew about the Overlord figures existence, let alone ever having seen one here in the U.S., so Doug, yes, please do get these into production for all of us poor benighted colonials who missed out previously, as they're fantastic!evil grin

Not even Doug knew that the Overlords existed.
I am in possession of the greens and have this also painted.
It would be glad if Doug produces the Overlords.
Even though I my overlords are then no longer unique.
Greetings…
