kristof65 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I know it may be a little early in the line to start asking this, but I'm hoping at some point some of the Chronoscope figures are available in small army packs like some of the DHL figures are. Right now, the obvious one is the NOVA soldier, but hopefully the future of Chronoscope will hold a few more army type figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This requires multiple poses be made of like units, which we now know, will never, ever happen until we each first buy at least fifty of the same exact pose. http://www.reapermini.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=32692 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristof65 Posted July 24, 2008 Author Share Posted July 24, 2008 A lot of the DHL army packs only have two poses. And the NOVA guy keeps showing as sold out. So right now, I'd say if we keep buying like we have been, there's a good chance of at least a second pose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironworker Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 You can make a decent squad/unit/pack/whatever with three poses. Especially if you can convert at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armydillo978 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 A NOVA pack would be nice. How about the same basic two (or three) bodies with arm/head varieties? They do look sharp. Anyone have any of the SST MI troopers you might be able to match them size wise up for me and let me know how they compare? I need to fill out my unit.

Anyone have any of the SST MI troopers you might be able to match them size wise up for me and let me know how they compare? I need to fill out my unit. I don't own any, but I did do a quick comparison at my FLGS, and the SST guys still seemed a little big. Depends on how you want to slide the scale, I guess. For moderns I scale down from Reaper to things like Copplestone and - ulp! dare I say it - Foundry. Adding SST would make the overall range of scales too wide for me, I think. But I do use some of their bugs as monsters. A time-intensive alternative I am trying right now, is building a NOVA-compatible guy from bits from Hasselfree. They have guns and helmets and modern armor and that sort of thing. I just got a bunch of it in the mail this week, and I'll be seeing what I can do with a blank dolly in the coming days. SST guys are expensive comparative to Reaper, but if you can handle the scale that would probably be the way to go, as I'm only going to get one or two guys out of my project. It seems fairly obvious to me that another NOVA pose would sell well. Everybody seems to like them. And to get the thread back on track, I'd buy more than a few NOVA army packs - IF they included an alternate pose to the two already available.

Heisler Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I think I would lean towards calling it a squad pack rather than an army pack. Army pack just says to me that a game is in the works as well as more units for the "army". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristof65 Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 Squad pack works for me. I just used Army since that's what the DHL 4-packs are called. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercoutlaw Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I would definitely be interested in this!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanite Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 The NOVA troopers are sold out at all the LGS carrying Chronoscope. I wouldn't mind a big pack of them, even just for doing color test (Stormtroopers!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armydillo978 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 These are the kind of mini's I actually break down and paint. While I really dislike painting, I'm always glad when I'm done and the figs look nice, and in my style. :) Some pride in doing one's own work. I'd like a mix of male/female NOVA troopers.

leonmallett Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I'd love to see a few squad packs: - NOVA - GUARD - Sligg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amen Brother. Why doesn't Reaper have more female troops? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshuaslater Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Reaper's got scads of female troops and models. They've got a good track record of that, so I'd say it's just about buying enough of one pose, and then waiting for the next. I plan on using the NOVA troops for Warzone.

wyrmgear Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Just casting an additional vote for additional poses and packs! I need Arbites for my Dark Heresy games and buying the NOVA troops at $4 to $5 a pop gets pricey. I am assuming (hoping) a pack might have a reasonable bulk discount...
