"Angel Barracks Sneak Preview: Our First-Ever 6mm Miniatures" Topic

Cool stuff!

Looks like those despicable ECM troops have been using the rockworms for target practice. Alien life has feelings too y'know!

I can see a few troopers falling down holes to encounter some of those :o)
Nice to have something different!

Worms arent just for Christmas?

You should make a pack-laden version of the "horses".

Good idea!

Oh I forgot to say.
These are the first ever sculpts by the sculptor.
Given that then his stuff can only get better, can't wait!

I think yuo need to get to a doctor, and quickly! Obviously your hand has become infested with alien monsters!

Nice minis!

Doug

Leon,

For life, definitely! They're tough beasties, just a bit sensitive really. A bit like those Horta. "No kill I".

Yeah, nice stuff Angel. I can't wait to see your 6mm civilians.

Congratulations on your first miniature range! I'm looking forward to the civilians as well.

Great looking stuff…..now i just need to dig out the ol' Traveller 'encounters' tables for beasties,flora and fauna!!

Are you selling these at PAW?

Excellent sculpts! Good luck with the new venture!

Are you selling these at PAW?

Alas not Alan, the greens only arrived today so they have not been sent to the casters yet.

Thanks for the kind words folks.
The sculptor has read this and was a bit anxious as to the feedback as they are his first ever work.
Though with all the kind words he is pleased and off doing work for the civilians now.

"Hudson: Is this gonna be a standup fight, sir, or another bughunt?
Gorman: All we know is that there's still no contact with the colony, and that a xenomorph may be involved.
Frost: Excuse me sir, a-a what?
Gorman: A xenomorph.
Hicks: It's a bughunt."

Count me in. I have a mess of 6mm sci-fi and a mass bug hunt would be a fun game scenario.

All we know is that there's still no contact with the colony, and that a xenomorph may be involved.

ooh you edited your post and mine looks silly now as you already said that!

Congrats and good luck!

"ooh you edited your post and mine looks silly now as you already said that!"

Sorry about that, to make it up to you, I will order a mess of your bugs when they are ready!

E.H.

'and off doing work for the civilians now' you mean he is alowed to be somewhere else other than on the design bench? Good grief! You'll be telling me he sleeps next……….lol

ps Cracks whip in designers direction

I'd like me some of them alien space horsees ..

I'd like to see a picture of them next to some 15mm figures.

From the look of them you could probably sell them in multiple scales. 6mm, 10mm, and 15mm.

I don't own anything other than 6mm…

So I will see what I can pick up over the weekend for you.

I'm looking forward to picking up a bunch of these.

Lots of scenario and objective possibilities as well as just for a bit of terrain "colour".

Thats goes double for the civilians!

This is great stuff.

Really cool stuff – useful for Sci Fi and Fantasy!

love them!

Awesome! Armoured Hounds, how cool are they, they look like they could be useful for Ghost Buster type games.
I like the fact they aren't humaniod type infantry as well.
Can wait to get some metal one.

Dont cross your fingers while youre holding them! You might smoosh the greens!

Those hounds and horses are REALLY cool. I really like them conceptually, and I think your sculptor has done a good job on them. 6mm sculpting is a bit different since the proportions need to be… chunkier? for the eye to really pick up on the ideas at that distance, and I think these have done a fantastic job with that.

I'm never been a big fan of the bughunt style of narratives, but I like having random non-Earther domesticated types for sci-fi worlds for battles around farms or in the wild. Dogs and horses are cool; I hope at some point there might be some cattle-equivalents too.

Now hurry up and get that Plasmablast Synthetic force for FUBAR back in stock so I can order them and the Krayts! :P

Me too.
These things will not make me rich but hopefully they will help fill a void in peoples collections.

I am sure the bugs excrete some useful/valuable substance and can be farmed as such.
Maybe the worms are their natural predator so the bug farms are under threat from these near indestructible hunters and bug farmers are also worm hunters.

Never easy life on the new frontier is it?

Alas the supplier has no synthetics left and they need to be cast up for him before he can send them to me, so they could be a while yet.

As for things to come, there will be civilians and more beasties.

I will also be offering some more FUBAR ready made packs, but these will be a bit different to what is available right now.

Things are busy at AB HQ!

Michael,

Can we pre-order as I'd like some of each?

Paul

Not yet I am afraid.
Until they are at the casters and they determine how many fit in a mould and how much lead each mould uses and all of that I am not able to set prices or pack sizes.

Hopefully not too long though until that is sorted.

Bum I thought I was the first to bring out this type of 6mm armoured worm, armoured hound and bipedal alien horse.

That will learn me!
