I like the look of these guys. IMO the folks at Age Of Tyrants are doing a pretty good job of both showcasing their upcoming figures and coming out with pretty cool ones.

Those look awesome. Super excited for AoT.

Known as Viridian Scout Commando's in VOID 28mm.

I think I have like 20 of them, I love the whole dino-rider theme of the Viridians with these, the Terrasaurs and the Behemoths. Can't wait to see if they make those same larger dino's in 6mm.

I think AOT can really do well. This might be the perfect setting for them. It's hard to see from the picture, but their are some HMG troopers mixed in.

Oh, that's right – I am mistakenly likening them to VOID figures when these are actually representative of *Urban War* figures, which DO have the HMG option for the saurian riders.

So… that begs the question… Urban War did not have any terrasaur or behemoth-like models, it was a skirmisher game and they really did not fit with the whole urban Iskandria feel due to their size.

Are the Viridian forces in AoT going the mech way with tanks; or will we be seeing something like terrasaurs and behemoths?

It would REALLY set the force apart from the others (he says hopefully, crossing fingers.)

If you remember way back in the Target/Warzone days, they had specific troopers based on the different worlds they were fighting in. I could easily see something like this happening for AOT.

Since this technically is before UW, they could pop up and I thought I read somewhere that they were actually thinking about doing them (big Dinos).

I'd love to see the larger dinos for the Viridians in addition to the tanks. Would be make for a very different sort of 6mm force.

That's the way to go, along the original VOID line. These look great, but Microworld already has some great Dinosaurs with combat mods. More would be great though. I am desperately hoping for 6mm versions of the Syntha HK grav bikes. I have them in 28mm but have been longing for them in 6mm.

Looking at comparison shots these models look more like 10mm than 6mm!

Agree looks like they are trying to make a new size at 8mm or so.

They keep saying like a politician that the prices are a "great" deal.
Hoping if it is said enough it will become real.

Then compare to 15mm, 10mm games, and GW on pricing.

Maybe they should have just made it in the scale they priced it for.
