CaptainPete Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I was talking with a friend last night, and while it isn't Chronoscope, we'd love to see a Mojave Rattler from Deadlands in Bones. Or some other "we closely resemble but are legally distinct from" a Tremors Grabiod. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I'll ALWAYS get stuff with old-timey diving suits! (I really want some of those Aquatic Familiars in Bones material just so I can easily and cheaply cannibalize those helmets for other projects.) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A collaboration between Bobby Jackson and @TaleSpinner for a set of 3-5 mounted sci-fi warriors, in the vein of 40k's rough riders or Star Wars stormtroopers on Dewbacks. Let Talespinner's imagination loose to give us a cool alien beast of burden that is ridden by some futuristic soldiers done by Mr Jackson. YES, this!! Also, a biker on a motorcycle. By which I mean guys with long hair, beards, and leather jackets riding Harley Davidsons. If they were modular with 2 different torsos and a sprue of three different heads, you could have a small gang that all look unique. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a few heads and hands, so it would be great to have a mini designed to be modular and in the same scale as the Cyborg Parts sprue... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And also street racing types as well as the Harley types. (And I know it'd be a smaller scale than you normally make, but I'd like to see ones that work in Gaslands) 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YES - and now I kind of want to make some of the titular monsters from that wonderful old so-bad-its-good 1950s-era sci-fi movie, Robot Monster! For those unfamiliar with it, the Robot Monster was just a guy in a gorilla suit with a diving/space helmet with two antennae on his head. Was it weird? YES. Was it goofy? YES, you bet! And if I had miniature versions of it, I'd totally make any excuse I had to turn a batch of them loose on a fantasy RPG adventuring party - because as weird and goofy as it was, it was also cool and imaginative! If I haven't said it before (and I probably have), I'd LOVE to see more (Bones) Chronoscope retro-sci-fi weirdness! "Not" Robby the Robot or "Not" Lost-in-Space's "Robot" "Not" Buck Rogers/Flash Gordon/Commader Cody/Rocketeer serial-style sci-fi heroes old-fashioned comic book superheroes (a few exist as Reaper's metal miniatures, but conversion-friendly Bones versions would make my day) "Red Shirt" squad with old-fashioned rayguns and communicators more "rubber forehead" aliens in different poses (there are a couple of these in Bones now, but really only in one pose each.... squads of "Not"-Klingons/Romulans/whatever would be fantastic!) rubber-suit monsters (zipper in back optional - see The Thing from Another World, It: The Terror from Beyond Space, Lost in Space, Star Trek, Voyage to the bottom of the Sea, or Space: 1999 for examples...) Mexican-style masked wrestler adventurers "Not"-Ultra Man / Power Ranger daikaiju-style superheroes and monsters (martial-arts poses and all!) more figures in the spirit of the Martian princess and Captain Nemo from Bones V's "Chronoscope" set ...and, I really wish there were a 28mm version of Tim Mee's classic Galaxy Laser Team toy soldiers, or at least some 28mm sci-fi figures in the same spirit (I wonder if Tim Mee would be willing to license the original designs?) YES, my taste in fantasy/sci-fi miniatures is maybe a little bit weird, but I'd completely mix this sort of thing in with both fantasy and sci-fi role-playing games. How could anyone else resist doing so? This stuff is built into the primordial DNA of modern fantasy and sci-fi RPGs and wargames, as surely as Tolkien or the classic Harryhausen monster movies.... And besides, I've really got a hankerin' for taking a bunch of retro sci-fi stuff, combining them with the Bones Lovecraft monsters and sci-fi stuff, and running a Spaceship Zero style campaign or three.... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right there with you on this stuff. I really want more "Raygun Gothic" minis. In part because I like the look and partly so I can make a crew for StarGrave when it comes out next year. Huh. I keep forgetting that I own the Spaceship Zero RPG... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rigel Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 @YronimosW and @CaptainPete, I'm with you 100% on these. I think a small marble, two pins, and Ape-X would go a long way towards kitbashing a ROBOT MONSTER!! if you can't wait...love me some retro spacefuture sci-fi minis. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the two games I’m DMing is in Eberron so trench-coats and steampunk stuff figures for a variety of races would be really helpful. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
