lstormhammer 22 Posted September 5, 2002 Report Share Posted September 5, 2002 As this whole project is in its infancy I can't tell you what the line will be called yet or what the blisters will look like but it's definately happening. I got an idea! Name them for Forum people! I could easily fire off names for you to have. That is, if you wanted them (see previous posting re: ideas to companies) IMHO, I would love an lstormhammer model. --lstormhammer Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ranger Man 0 Posted September 6, 2002 Report Share Posted September 6, 2002 Always wanted to have something to immortalize me. †Great idea!! †Hint! Hint! Reaper. †Seriously though, there is a great lack of good scifi miniatures for the market. †GW's figures are sooo cluttered and really lacking in detail. †They were really made for miniature army combats. †There are not very many minis for regular scifi roleplaying. †So Reaper please hurry and continue to do the outstanding job.

Lady Tam 76 Posted September 6, 2002 Report Share Posted September 6, 2002 Always wanted to have something to immortalize me. †I could live with that! :D †Could fall back on my maiden name "Hess" And I would have to be a bad guy. They have more fun. I mean they have to otherwise Anakin would have never gone over to the dark side! And as Dixie put " †The perks are better, better hair, bigger bust, b*****n' outfits."

Michael-TLH 120 Posted September 6, 2002 Report Share Posted September 6, 2002 That will be great Reaper Matt! :D Not all the sci-fi characters out there are hulking marines in power armor. We played a sci-fi (Alternity) campaign a few months ago... and we had to use regular 'ol D&D lookin' minis. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lstormhammer 22 Posted September 11, 2002 Report Share Posted September 11, 2002 But.. Michael. I want to be a hulking Marine in powered armor... I want to be the first to storm into a breach in a ship-boarding action! --And you may have Elwood, but the Hypnotoad ate Jake! --lstormhammer Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moderator Froggy the Great 62631 Posted September 11, 2002 Moderator Report Share Posted September 11, 2002 Wow, it'd be great to have a Frogmaster model...oh wait. I do. Never mind. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wolf 0 Posted September 12, 2002 Report Share Posted September 12, 2002 So, does anyone know what other idea Reaper has on the back burner, game wise besides the skirmish scale infantry and space games. At the risk of sounding silly as don't remember what they are to be called. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moderator Froggy the Great 62631 Posted September 12, 2002 Moderator Report Share Posted September 12, 2002 All I know of is Warlord Skirmish, which is fantasy, the sci-fi 1/60 game, and Imperator, which is space. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ranger Man 0 Posted September 12, 2002 Report Share Posted September 12, 2002 There needs to be robots, droids, etc., of all shapes, sizes, and alien races. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nadinbrzezinski 0 Posted September 13, 2002 Report Share Posted September 13, 2002 Hmm I wonder if they want some ahem, craetive drawings... hold it the advance dolly would be my concept... stick man! Nadin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moderator Froggy the Great 62631 Posted September 13, 2002 Moderator Report Share Posted September 13, 2002 Hey, you never know. If you really want to spring a bunch of homonculi on your players, they could be just the thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smokingwreckage 9134 Posted September 13, 2002 Report Share Posted September 13, 2002 A line of Heroic Scale ô sci-fi miniatures has been planned. In fact, Bobby Jackson is currently sculpting the very first one, a Terran Officer in Dress Uniform with Greatcoat. Greatcoat. Yessssssssssssssss. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moderator Froggy the Great 62631 Posted September 13, 2002 Moderator Report Share Posted September 13, 2002 I do have to request, however, that the minis be realistic, in the sense of actually being able to fight in the uniform/armor they have, and not succumb to the overexagerated methods used by That Other Sci-fi Game. It bugs me to see people bringing knives to a gunfight and consistently winning. I'm not mentioning names, particularly not GW. Oops. Oh well. Not bitter, not at all.

Leech 0 Posted September 16, 2002 Report Share Posted September 16, 2002 I'm a former squid, so I'd much rather see Imperator than the CAV skirmish game released first. However, whichever comes out first would be cool. The more the merrier :o) As for sci-fi figures, I believe that GW stuff tends to be over-detailed for my tastes... I don't care for detail in the belt buckle and that kind of junk.. I'd rather have a nice simple figure which I can paint. Faces are okay, but I definately think GW goes too far with detail. As for personalised minis, well I'd have to be immortalised as a power armour infantryman. They just look so cool... but realistic looking armour would be nice, for a change :o) One thing that's always bothered me is that power armoured infantry (well, infantry in general) has always been under-valued and under-powered in most games. That's one of the things I like about CAV... crunchies can kill stuff and they're reasonably close to life in terms of their stats. As for minis for roleplaying, I find the practice nauseating. I don't like using minis for roleplay games, as I think it takes something away from the game - to me a roleplay game is about imagination. I try to paint a picture for my players when they walk into a scene, but I know they'll fill in the gaps that I leave (accidentally or purposefuly). To me, that's how it should be. If you are inclined to paint up figures for characters in roleplay games, great - it helps visualise the characters. But play with them.... no thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nadinbrzezinski 0 Posted September 16, 2002 Report Share Posted September 16, 2002 Ah the very old issue of to use minis or not in RPGs? There are many schools of thought, and though I like your personal theory, I have found that minis are sometimes needed to ahem, avoid the arguments... Player, He can't possibly see me, i am behind.... Ok set terrain, bring out minis... and those arguments simply disapear. Does this mean that the players need a visual cane, maybe, but I am not going to argue if it avoids problems and increases the fun factor. Nadin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
