We interrupt SPUG Week with the following breaking news.......
New ground troops have been reported massing and getting ready for action. Dropship Horizon caught up with advance units to bring you the following newsflash......
The future of 15mm Sci Fi miniatures has arrived!ALL NEW GZG 15mm NAC Marines
Reporter: "what do you say to suggestions that you could be used as a police force and colonial ground troops in addition to your main force role?"
NAC Sgt: "Sir! We are ready for any role that we are chosen for. My boys are itching to get into the field. Believe you have a Spug problem right here? Just another day, just another 'Bug Hunt' to us, Sir!"
Reporter: "Traditionally new troops have been committed piecemeal with little in the way of support. Will you have all the weapons to do the job?"
NAC Sgt: "Sir! When we land, GZG HQ will ensure we will have all the firepower we need, and available to us right from the start of the campaign. Exact composition is top secret at this time, but when we are ready to make dirtfall, we'll make sure everyone knows what's about to hit them!"

Nice newsflash, and the figures look excellent :)

I am not going to get excited until I see them next to my existing NAC. My worry is they are going to be out of scale to the ones I have now. GZG has been showing signs of scale creap for a while now.
ReplyDeleteWe shall see.

Daniel - fear not, they will be size-compatible with the existing NAC packs (certainly within the limits of typical human height variation, after all we're not all exactly the same!), but they are slightly slimmer and much more detailed. We took a lot of customer advice and feedback on this, and the general consensus was that people wanted slimmer minis in more active poses - but they will still mix perfectly well with the earlier packs.

Glad to hear they are going to be more active. The static, bulky nature of the GZG 15s is what has kept me away from their infantry.
ReplyDeleteThe figures are excellent and set a new standard. The poses are action orientated, the figures themselves more detailed and I for one really like them.
ReplyDeleteMore pics tonight and I'll post a side by side comparison of the existing and the all new NAC at the weekend.
Cheers

I agree. From the few you have shown, they look much more like little figures, in their own right, than little "stand-ins" for the bigger figures.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing your newest pics.
