"Defiance Games UAMC Marines" Topic

What's a box of these go for nowadays? I understand they're rarer than hen's teeth and that most people who have them are people who actually didn't back the kickstarter (like me).

I picked my box up at a hobby shop in Massachusetts about 4 years ago. Since the well-publicized Defiance drama, I haven't seen or heard of any of these for sale on the secondary market.

Are folks holding onto them for some reason?

I built a squad, and still have a bunch of sprues left over I have really no need for.

I have been trying to figure out my phone's camera to take pics and set up this and a load of other things to sell here in the Marketplace, but then my wife's phone was stolen and she's been borrowing mine for a couple weeks now while she recovers from surgery… and I have this training trip coming up that will interfere with shipping any sales in a timely manner… excuse, excuse, excuse….

I have some and think they make great colonial marines. I use them for space hulk games. I really need to get some of those Aliens figures to sort that out properly actually

I have no idea how much they go for. If I had some more of them I'd probably use them to do some sort of IG regiment for 30K.

The figures are quite nice, I have some (not for sale) but the only way you are likely to come across any is ask if someone on TMP is willing to sell theirs or be patient and cruise e bay frequently.

I bought a few boxes, its a shame they just disappeared rather than being sold to a reputable company…..they would probably have worked quite well with the new Warlord Spec Ops plastics.

Not entirely sure about this, but I think the mold is somewhere in New England. I tried contacting the company but go no response.

Defiance has gone full silent since the kick starter ended and they could not deliver.

My theory is that the figures were not paid for and the production company is setting on the mold. It is very likely these figures will never be made again.

Painted mine up and am just waiting to find an opponet and a set of rules to use.

Got two boxs from the Warstore in the beginning. Built and almost finished painting the 2 free figs when something more shiny caught my eye :0 they're somewhere in a box now ?

I have four boxes plus resin Gunny figure, plus 5 extra sprues (I broke these down to save space). None have been assembled nor painted, boxes are like new. As I recall, I paid $99 USD for this. If anyone's interested, I'll sell as one lot for $100 USD, and that will cover postage, too. P.M. me or my email is nudspinespittle@verizon.net. Contact me to work out the details.

I have one box each of their UAMC Marines and Panzer Grenadiers.

Nice figures but not worth any outrageous prices as they will easily fit in as alternate or allied nations squads for many more affordable troops.

They're nice, but a pain if you want to reposition or convert them. I was too late to get the Gunny figure, but did convert one of the minis into one (mine ended up with a better hat… ;-)

I've got a couple boxes gathering dust on a corner of a shelf in my store. Panzer grenadiers too.

The sad thing is that I wanted everything Defiance promised, very much. Tried the rules, really they were okay in places but there were far too many event triggers.

Got my hands on two boxes and I think they were good. While the feet and ankles looked a bit funky and the sculpting was a tad unimaginative the over all proportions were very nice and nimbler then GWs IG steroid men. They were on the realistic side of sculpting which I like.

The guns looked nice and way more believable than most sci-fi armaments and with some nice bitz and extra heads on the smaller side of 30-28mm you could make some terrific conversions.

Too bad their business choices were bad and they went belly up. The hinted female marines and weapons teams with more options and extra parts would have been the shnizzle. The probability of someone getting the minis in production again is minimal.

The sprues I have left I will keep in case of future projects and conversions.

I made some inquiries of a friend who had volunteered at Defiance – nobody got paid – and this is what he told me:

"The last I saw of the 8000+ loose marine frames were in boxes stacked at 6 Spice Street the day we walked out. Whatever happened to them after that I have no idea."
