Nice miniatures BUT its hard to vote when a new user account is pending approval…
How about another alternative title like Uncertain Tomorrow ?

Awesome minis! Would love to make a Silent Storm like game and these minis are perfect.

Beautiful work! I hate to be the one to mention it, but there's no mention of scale in the announcement. That would certainly help people generate more interest if they knew what they were looking at. I am aware that they are 28mm myself, as a friend sent me a link to their web site not that long ago, but many others may not be in the know.

The forum should be fixed now so that no authorization is needed.

Thanks for the mention about the scale, yes they are 28mm.

They are nice miniatures, and the painter did an excellent job.

I picked up some of these a little while back after Fantization Miniatures started carrying them. They are sweet! They're going to be joining my Void Viridian army when I get a chance to work on them.

I like Future Tomorrow best.

BTW, there is a helpful comparison picture on the DD site, showing the miniatures next to some other brands.

As I said on the "If I could do it all over again" thread last week, I'm really regretting last year's Warzone spending spree with all this beautiful stuff coming out from other manufacturers…

Good job, DD! These are excellent, and would make great Bauhaus proxies…

Have a good day,

Yes very nice indeed. I am glad they are 28mm. How well do they fit with Copplestone or Foundry figs?

Here are some comparison photos next to Warmachine, Mongoose and GW figures.

They fit in nicely with Copplestone and Foundry figs as well.

I would vote for "Future Tommorow" or what about "By Dawns Early Darkness"

Arrrgh. More things I need to buy!

'FatherLand'

'6th Reich'

Wow, found my "Veterans" for both my Steel Legion and Valhallans!

Excellent figures! What other figures do you have planned for the line?

Right now American Airborne, American NCO's, and German GreatCoats are being sculpted. As far as what is planned for releases after that here is a rough list

Russian "Test" Redone
Fallschirmjager
American Heavy Weapons Team
Waffen SS on Foot
Russian Commissar
American Engineer
Mounted Waffen SS
American Rocket Troops
Russian Penal Troops
Pathfinders
German Heavy Weapons Team
Russian Anti-Tank Team

This list is in no particular order.

Cheers

The new Germans are really nice, but

WOW look at those snipers on the webpage!! How do those look next to GW models? I think my army finally has decent sniper models on the way!

Those camo-paintjobs look soooo hard to replicate :-(

Beautiful figs btw, absolutely stunning.

Any idea how the look next to Dark Age or Confrontation Dirz?

Darkson Designs One thing you didn't mention was that they were muti-part figures so you can mix and match to make lots of variations with the parts

They are so cool!
Talk about comeback of the Third Reich…

Just an FYI the staff painter of these figs is writting up a tutorial on how to paint the camo and military uniforms in our next Painting Guide, Volume 2. He will also go over the woodgrain and NMM effects used on these.
