Well let me point you to another great deal on the internet for miniatures.
Found here, this is a deal for 80 individually sprue'd plastic soldiers for about $25 USD + shipping and handling, which totals to just a little over $30 USD. That amounts to about 38 cents a figure.
Go to the website to find out exactly what miniatures come in it, but this is a very good deal for getting a ton of plastic scifi soldiers to play around with. The details are really not that great (signs of old molds and sculpts) and a lot of their poses are semi-rigid, but they are great for conversions. I know a lot who have used them to fill the ranks of Imperial Guard for their Warhammer 40k army, and I have plans on using them in scifi rpgs. Need a bunch of corporate security dudes represented for when your PCs heist goes terribly wrong? Done.
So I bought the bag. It took a couple weeks to get to me (overseas shipping and all), and I did up a couple of them just to see what I'm getting. The picture above is quite literally what you get. A clear bag crammed with 80 sprues.

PS: I know they originally went to a game called Warzone, which I hear still has a following despite the original game company being out of business, and the original books are out of print. And I know that Warzone is also the Mutant Chronicles setting...sort of.
Warzone was (and is) one of my more favorite skirmish level sci-fi games out there. Squarely set in the Mutant Chronicles universe it was just great, plain and simple. Their model range was absolutely huge and had sculpts that ranged from awesome-still-hold-their-own-to-today's-standards, to the bizarre, to the just downright very, very awful. This plastic bag o' figs has been around for some time and it is a steal of a deal if you're looking for some generic sci-fi troopers.
ReplyDeleteI never played warzone but i know it still has a following. But year this bag is a great deal for bits and generic scifi troopers to fool around with.
